Solar Rain Wizard Pump

This was easy to hook up to my 55 gallon rain barrel. Assembly was a piece of cake. After letting it charge for a whole day, I gave it a try. I got a full charge in about 6 hours (I live in Hawaii). I hooked it up to a 50 foot hose with a 6-inch wide sprinkler-type of watering attachment so I could water my plants. There is not a huge amount of pressure. However, it seems to be just the right amount for watering your plants by hand. I really like it, and am glad I bought it. Now my next challenge is to fabricate a movable mounting plate so I can transfer it to my other barrels (I have them at each corner of the house). I can't see spending another 139 bucks, but I do want to use it with all of my barrels. If you want lots of pressure, this unit is not for you. I do not think it would work too well with one of those portable oscillating lawn sprinklers that you attach to the end of a garden hose. For watering by hand, it's a really wonderful contraption. I also like that the rechargeable battery pack is made up of 10 NiMH 1.2 V rechargeable batteries hooked up in series. When the batteries no longer take a charge (which eventually happens in all batteries) I should be able to easily construct a new battery pack using relatively inexpensive rechargeables that can be bought at any store, some wire, a soldering gun, and some electrical tape. I give it 4-out-of-5 stars. The only reason it doesn't get a five is the price tag.
