Since we've been on the topic of moving water around lately, and I cannot figure this problem out, I have to ask this stupid question. How can I make water flow downhill? A couple weeks ago, I bought

*I can understand why there is slow flow out the vent since there is only an inch of "head" above the hose connect but what in 'ell is creating the pressure in the photo where the water is spurting o

There's no water in the downspout, that's just the pressure from the several inches of water in the top of the barrel. As you may have noticed, the 'seal' between the downspout and the top of the bar

Looking at the pics, the barrel is not level. The water sitting on top of the barrel suggests the overflow side is on the high side. My guess is the overflow is an inch or two higher than it would be

The barrel is actually level; the black screw-on top isn't necessarily level because it fits poorly. There is a slight angle to the overflow fitting, but there's really no way around that with the sh

Though if the angle has the hose arced up above the surface of the water, it's effectively capped. For the wter in the drain hose will not rise higher than the surface of the water in the barrel. It

Could you try fitting a vertical dropshaft outside the barrel? Fit a right angle bend to the existing outlet point then a length of tube (say 1 inch i.d.) vertically down to ground level terminated i

BTW, I recently read of a nice way to make a through-bulkhead PVC pipe flange. You can easily get a PVC fitting that goes from a glue-in socket to male or female pipe threads. But the threads are tap
