1 KARCHER BP 1 Barrel


The most reliable. High performance
A country: Germany (produced in China)
Average price: 5390 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

Despite the Chinese origin, the KARCHER BP 1 Barrel pump is fully consistent with the brand in terms of the quality of assembly and component parts, and is deservedly considered the best equipment. It is important that this device was specifically designed to be used for watering the garden from the barrel. Despite the modest engine power of 400 W, it can pump 3.8 cubic meters of water in just one hour. The presence of water level control (float) and automatic shutdown in the absence of liquid at the entrance to the device, eliminates possible damage due to incorrect use.

Owners will appreciate not only the reliability of the unit. The pump has a special clamp that is fixed on the edge of the tank. Already it connects to the hose, through which water (settled or rainwater) directly from the barrel enters the watering. Considerable relief of the process will be highly appreciated by all summer residents - usually collected moisture gets to the garden through buckets and watering cans. KARCHER BP 1 Barrel will make this process enjoyable and easy for a long time, since high quality equipment also implies an increased service life, which other models have only to dream about.


The best submersible pumps for watering the garden

Centrifugal pumps are designed for operation in artesian wells, but they are not suitable for irrigation (cold water with a low percentage of oxygen will not be useful for plants and must first settle), but vibratory ones are considered most suitable for organizing garden irrigation from a well or any other reservoir. The presented models are popular and deservedly considered the best equipment for watering.

3 Technopribor streamlet-1


Best price. Greatest pressure
A country: Russia
Average price: 1459 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.2

This vibrating pump has been successfully tested by time and a huge number of users who have chosen the “Brook”. Of course, this model has made the price the most popular product - it is more than affordable in the domestic market.At the same time, one can definitely say that for watering a vegetable garden with water from a barrel, pond or well it has the best pressure - 60 m.

Performance Brook-1, especially compared to other models, is hopelessly small - 1.05 m³ / hour. However, as well as power - the pump consumes only 225 watts. It works only in clean water, so it should not be lowered to the bottom of a reservoir or tank, but rather left suspended in the surface. The cable length of the power grid is 15 meters (there are versions of the model with a power cord of 15, 25 and 40 meters), which makes it possible to do without carrying even at a decent distance from the garden water source.

2 ZUBR NPG-M1-400


The optimal combination of price and quality
A country: China
Average price: 1890 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

This pump can successfully pump dirty water, which is a great advantage for watering the garden. Unlike surface systems with high pressure, this unit has only 5 m. At the same time, the productivity will be quite high - it will be easy to recycle 7.5 cubic meters per hour. It is possible to quickly fill the free tanks from the river or pond, and then distribute the heated and settled water from the barrel with the same pump over the garden garden.

With such satisfactory performance, the owners are pleased with the good equipment of the unit. The equipment has a level control float and a protection system preventing pump failure in the absence of water in the system. The democratic price also plays an important role, repeatedly increasing the attractiveness of the model. Despite the fact that ZUBR NPG-M1-400 is made in China, the quality of its assembly and component parts is so good that it allows you to successfully compete with more expensive products of popular brands.

Rating (2019): 5.0

This pump will perfectly cope with watering a large vegetable garden - its capacity is 14.5 cubic meters per hour. This allows for the quickest implementation of artificial irrigation of the soil with minimal physical costs.
