Can a normal 5/8" water hose be connected to the sewer solution if you need more distance? One reviewer mentioned pumping 100'.

I did. Measure the existing tubing at its narrowest point. Buy that diameter and heat the ends (I used a propane tourch) enough to stretch onto the sewer fittings.

I bought three 10 foot sections of 1 inch PVC sprinkler pipe with 1 inch connectors to extend it to my sewer cleanout. Used 25 feet of it. Add that to the 10 feet that came with the device and an additional 10 foot Sewer Solution hose and I have 45 feet from RV to Sewer. It works great! I haven't glued the connectors so I can keep it stowable. Will only use it at home.

To pump the waste 100' you will need to use something larger than 5/8" water hose. The instructions suggest 1" PVC pipe.

I'm not sure but they do advertise that you can expand the system. This is kind of a starter kit so I would think maybe try 100' and see how powerful it is at the end of the line. Of course it will depend upon your water pressure also

I have 5/8 inch hose and it's a stretch to get all 100 feet on the reel. In my case, it doesn't matter if it sticks out past the reel casing a little bit. I would think a 1/2 inch hose would fit ok.

Yes you can put a little longer hose on it. I wouldn't go past the 30 ft mark on less you get a bigger pump.

Yes. 4 different tips and I believe a 25 ft 5/16 hose. I upgraded mine to a 50ft 3/8. Monster hose with quick connect ends. I absolutely love it!

You will need adapters to convert from 1.5 inch pipe thread to a hose adapter. Any hardware store will have these. You will reduce the water flow dramatically by using a hose. If you have a lot of water to move using a hose is a bad choice. If you are only moving a small amount of water you may want to consider a pump that is already designed for a hose.

I have 150 feet of 5/8 hose on mine and it will hold another 50 feet nicely. I bought my first one at ollies and love it so much I bought 2 more through amazon.

This is a good pump, although not designed for that purpose, I do believe it would pump that distance. If you are pumping through hose the auto shut off feature may not work well. I would use pvc.

the longest hose I have used is 50 feet, and it works great.... I don't see a reason it would not work with 100 ft if the water is not being pushed up too high (like 50 feet straight up).

You must have a 3/4" water line all the way from the main to the pump otherwise the HB1000 will starve and not pump water.

I can say that in my most recent 24 day trip there was not a location I went to that it didn't work. Most of the time I was connecting to the site sewer at about 10-12'.I hope this helps you in your decision!

Yes. We have done exactly that. Just don't raise the end of the hose higher than the water level as you need the natural water pressure for it to work (no pumps are included).

You will have to put on an adapter to fit it to a garden house although I am guessing that you could find the necessary parts for less than $10 in a hardware store. I would guess that it could pump 100 feet without too much trouble as long as you are not going uphill too much.

Hi John, I think you are on the right track. I myself use a 50 ft hose, the manual also mentions this. I have used my pressure washer over a dozen times with no problem. I am thinking with the longer 100ft hose the pressure must be to low for the unit to be efficeint. I do use a 3/8, 50 foot pressure hose from the unit to the pressure sprayer and get great results.

You can hook a 100' hose to the pump, but you cannot pump up hill for the full 100'.

You will either have to use a hose extender if you can find the right connector or buy a longer hose for the drain. I had to set my sink in close proximity to where the water drain from a raised deck.

If this comes with two garden hose adapters (mine only had one, but that was a long time ago) then Pete B is correct, hose is all you need for moving water. If you use 5/8 garden hose in and out you will lose some potential from the pump but that may be OK for your application. I didn't try this because I wanted to put a foot valve on mine to make priming easier. Who knows, maybe somebody sells a 5/8 foot valve.
