In this video I will show you how to make quick and cheap DIY rain barrel pump. It is quiet, efficient and most importantly works on demand so that you can water your garden from your rain barrel pumps from your standard garden hose. The pump also works great to transfer water from place to place so that you can store extra water (like from a kids pool) in your rain barrels to use later in the garden and as a camp shower.
I have also paired this system with the Bluetti AC50S Solar Generator for the ultimate off grid water pressure.

Thanks for watching!

If you are interested in the Solar Generator we use to power our pump we have some videos on that on our sister channel here:

Case supplies may need to be adjusted depending on the type of toolbox you get/have. It isn’t an exact science and you can pick all this up from Home Depot or any hardware store or ideally use whatever you have laying around. You may need to adjust sizes to fit the exact scrap wood or toolbox you are using. These are examples and will not look exactly like what I used because I used scrap laying around the house:
