This is for sale on Northern's website. I figure that I can attach a one inch pipe to it and let her rip. Does this pump have enough guts to run about 200 feet of soaker hose? Any other suggestions for getting that water from the cistern to the flower beds would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to research at this website as soaker hose is not too well thought of but drip irrigation is. I only skim read a few posts and this website is not like this one. They have alot of wanna be's gardeners that tend to not know what there talking about so be warned. It is the best garden website that I've found.

I would add a bladder pressure tank with a large draw down capicity. This will keep the pump from cycling on as much and make the pump last longer.

SS is about the same as steel when it comes to pumps. My pressure pump has a 304 SS shaft and when I went to install a new seal kit the SS shaft was not useable as the water had pitted the shaft.
