In this video, Robert shows you how he added a 12v DC transfer pump purchased from Harbor Freight to his existing rain barrel system used to water his garden.

He also explains how he used 1/2" schedule 40 PVC to route the water from the rain barrel to the garden.

Overall, Robert's goal was to keep the overall cost low for adding the water pump to the rain barrel system.
