Mine is destined to be also used in conjunction with IBC Tanks and an enhanced water harvesting set up till I can work out how to farm water at height to move more towards gravity fed drip feed and watering and use the pump to power an aquaponics set up... Water butt pumps are an excellent choice for gardeners who want to irrigate their plants using rainwater instead of tap water. Rainwater is often rich in nutrients and is free from the chemicals found in tap water, making it an excellent choice for plants. Water butt pumps can also be used to fill ponds and water features, wash cars, and clean garden furniture. How to choose the right water pump to reuse rain water

PowerForAll has many advantages not least the fact that once you have a tool with a few batteries then there is no need to buy the more expensive versions with battery & charger, you can just go ahead & buy the much cheaper no battery versions! Then finish up wall the remaining watering by simply moving the pump to the next watering point and connect to the next part of the irrigation loop requiring either watering or watering and feeding! Leaving me time to install the remaining hundreds of meters of hose and emitters. Then set up enough barrels or IBC tanks to really be able to hold a decent reservoir of water. As of 2021 Bosch has licensed PowerForAll to other manufacturers whereby batteries between these manufacturers will be interchangeable. What used to be a 2 hour daily job during peak seasons of heat/no rainfall; as all the watering had to be done by carrying it in watering cans to your plot and watering your crops by hand for as long as it takes or was needed.Even without having the full micro irrigation system set up at 100%, or a full network of rain barrels full to the brim ready to take over all the watering duties; what does work & run makes that section of the allotments much easier and hands free watering. A water butt pump is an electric pump that works by creating a vacuum that pulls the water up from the bottom of the water butt and pushes it through the hose. When you turn on the pump, the impeller (a rotating component of the pump) draws water through the inlet and expels it through the outlet at a higher pressure. The pressure can be adjusted depending on the type of nozzle used on the hose. So far I have pumped a few hundred Litres from the rain harvesting from Shed roofs, guttering and into barrels or tanks. Now those hours per day often, can now be a relaxing time after simply switching the pump on, using the timer and when it has run it's course; change which section of that garden requires watering.

The traditional water butt pumps consumers are used to can be safely hanged at the top of the reservoir. Applications of water butt pumps in the garden So remember PowerForAll signifies complete battery compatibility throughout the range. There is however, one caveat to this, some of the very first older chargers will not charge the very latest batteries & a battery charger upgrade will be required if you have a first generation charger. All batteries fit all tools however. I'm a professional bespoke gardener and arborist, & I can see me "borrowing" this for Professional jobs, when moving water from A to B and with only Battery power as an option. This fits the bill & does the job! The Bosch PowerForAll Tool range is a range of tools you can buy knowing that batteries are compatible with all tools in the range providing they are of the same voltage. eg 18v fits 18v, 12v (10.8v) fits 12v (10.8v) etc. Please also note that 10.8v is compatible with 12v & vice versa as it is just a name change. Indego Lawnmowers also use the PowerForAll 18v battery but require a cover plate to be removed if changing. In a pinch this would power a Karcher pressure washer if you had a decent source of water for it to drain from.
