Never seen irrigation like this? Pumping from the pond...setup start to finish!
What happens here
Place a plastic pallet near the pond's edge where the pump will operate. Securely mount the Powerhorse pump onto the pallet. Fill the pump's fuel tank with ethanol-free gasoline using a flexible hose or funnel. Check and fill the oil reservoir with 10W30 oil up to the bottom lip of the dipstick. Connect the firehose to the pump's outlet using a quick connector, ensuring a tight seal. Lay out the poly line along the pond dam, extending it from the firehose connection point.
Goal: Position the pump and connect the main water distribution lines.
