water pump

[Dixieangus]

I was wondering if there was anything out there that that could hook on to the end of the water hose and made more pressure..Becaus i was needing water to a field and if i cant get any sort of pump ill have to bring my fence up alot more...It wouldnt have to make it go far just 1500 ft or so i just dednt want my cows to be so close to the house and i was going to have to run the fence through the woods and when your building a elecric fence thats not fun...SO i any one knows of ANYTHING please let me know and maybe tell where i can get it

there are a few booster pumps on the market. They hook inline to your feed line, but I think they go before the hose bib. Im sure you could get fittings to hook a hose to it, but they still need 110V to feed them. Other than that I would put a stock tank at the end of your hose run, then a 1-2" 5hp gas pump, feed the pump off the tank and then to whatever irrigation system you have. As long as your main pump can keep up with the flow to the tank, and keep the rpm on the 5hp pump down, you should be ok. Just what I have done ot get by

Easiest way to add water pressure is by elevating the tank you draw from.

If your currently just attaching the hose to the house, then go out and buy a large irrigation tank, build a VERY heavy duty stand and elevate that tank about 9-10ft up. Then put the nozzle on the bottom of the tank. Fill your tank using a float from the house, and then run your hose from the bottom of the new tank to your field.

The added weight of the water will push the water through the hose for you until it reaches the exact same height of the top of the water in the tank. Using this process you can run water uphill in a hose without the need for a pump. It will not get you a lot of pressure, but you will have a constant, never ending supply of water through the hose, assuming the water from your hose into the tank can keep up with the water leaving the tank.

The higher you elevate, the farther you can push water.
