Having the water in a bucket however can make it somewhat difficult to use as you have poor control when pouring the bucket out. The simple solution and the one that many people use its to use some sort of cup in the bucket. My design uses a 3D printable pump to allow the user to pump the water out. This has several advantages. It allows better control of the amount of water being used and therefore has the potential to decrease water usage meaning that you will need to fill your bucket less often. Also because you can attach a hose to the pump you can have lots of control over where thew water goes and can reach many places while leaving the bucket in one place the whole time. Also unlike mounting a spigot to the bucket this design does not require you to drill a hole into the bucket and does not require the bucket to be elevated above where you wish to pour the water. Also any leaks in the pump will simply go back into the bucket meaning that a leaky pump will just be less effective but not cause any catastrophic leaks.","Page image":"File:3D printed water pump.jpg","Page keywords":"3D printing, bucket, hose, osat, water pump, Plastic, Water, OSAT 3D-Printable Designs","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-3.0","Page title":"Open Source 3D printed water pump","Page views":"630","Page year":"Friday, 01-Jan-16 00:00:00 UTC","Project authors":"User:Lmbrueck","Project cost":"4.69","Project status":"Prototyped","Project thumb":"https://www.appropedia.org/w/images/thumb/6/6a/3D_printed_water_pump.jpg/330px-3D_printed_water_pump.jpg","Project type":"Water pump","Project was made":"1","Project was replicated":"","Project year":"Friday, 01-Jan-16 00:00:00 UTC","Modification date":"Tuesday, 18-Jun-24 22:47:02 UTC"}
