Anyone use one to water your patch? I'm looking for a pump/sprinkler that can lift about 10 feet and discharge thru 75 feet of water hose.......prefer the oscilating type sprinkler but my ears are open.

I dont advise watering overhead at all, go for drip, or a soaker hose, just read right on the pump it will tell you its max pump height, make sure you buy a pump that is double what you need so you get the amount of water you need

I water with overhead sprinklers only. I bought a 6.5 hp (i think) gas pump and it pumps water like crazy.

Thanks Mike, I have a 5.5 horse gas pump and I can't tame. You should see the end of the hose flop around when it's pumping!

I'm not experienced enough with water control to figure out how to make the big pump work. Gonna shoot for a smaller pump or pumps.
