Can you hook up to water supply hose directly?

I do not think so. I returned this item because I tho it the pressure of flowing water was not strong enough for me.

No you can not. I use empty kitty litter containers & just drop the pump end into the container. The only trouble I have had was keeping the battery compartment closed tight enough for the batteries to have a good connection

Not really, the intake has a suction pump which you put in a bucket of water. In cold weather you need to run the water through the unit more than once to get it warm enough. Use a bucket and run the water back in to it until it is warm. Then you will get hot water.

No, there is a filtration system hooked up to it, to keep sediment from entering the pump. I used a 5 gallon bucket and leave the hose on inside the bucket. Be careful not to turn the hose on too high, as the pressure from the hose will fill the bucket faster than the shower pump will drain it

I believe not. The pump must get its water from a water barrel or similar non-pressured water supply. Hooking to a hose would not work.

Yes and the unit comes with the hose connection kit (except for the actual water hose). However, I found it very difficult to install. All I had to do in previous owned units was screw the hose on. You have to install a small plastic tube inside the unit and it was very difficult to get on. I finally found a YouTube video that suggested putting oil or Pam on the inside of the tube to slide more easily.

The fitting does not connect directly to a garden hose. An adapter comes with the unit at no extra cost - works fine.

Yes, a soaker hose would just connect to the water line these just offer quick connect to same!

Yes, you can attach the proper adapter and then attach the garden hose, however you might want to consider the stress that a garden hose might place on the spout connection at the base of the faucet.

Yes. You may need a coupler to connect different size hoses, which is what we did.

Take it down to Home Depot and they'll sell you the adapter so you can connect it to a water hose. The threads are for plumbing type connections. The adapter will make it work.

No, you cannot connect the valve directly to hose faucet. The threads on the valve are not compatible with the threads on the faucet. There are PVC fittings available that you can use to fabricate an intermediate link that enable you to hook the valve to the end of a section of hose that is attached to a faucet, but it cannot be hooked direct.

Yes, as long as you don't hook up to a hose and turn on, I don't see why you couldn't!

Yes, you just need an adapter hose that is sold at most hardware stores and possibly wal-mart.

No, you will need to order a connector of the proper size and hose, as well as hose clamps.

Yes, you can connect the two together, but you might need to obtain an additional brass fitting depending what type of hose you have. Can be found at any good hardware store. Be sure to use GAS rated Teflon tape (yellow), not water pipe (white).

Yes, I think so. I bought the regular drinking hose and had no problem hooking it up

Yes. You hook your hose up to it, it comes with a valve to turn the water on and off.

We have ours hooked to a hose that runs from the outdoor water faucet to our garden since the garden is about 75' from the faucet. It would certainly hook up directly to the faucet as well.

No, it's a fine thread going into the pump. You could probably get an adapter at Home Depot.
