Water pump
Connect your pump plug to the extension cord and the water hose to the hose attachment on the pump. Keeping the plugged end out of the water, submerge your electric pump into at least 18 inches of water. - 2). Submerge the pump in the water, placing it on a rock so that it has a lift out of the silt in a pond. If you use the watering trough, be sure to keep an eye on the water level to make sure the tank does not dry out, which will cause the motor in the pump to burn up.

Sprinkler system
Plug in the pump and begin watering. Use the various settings on the spray nozzle to determine which stream of water is best for your needs. You may not need a nozzle at all if you simply want to soak the water directly into the garden soil.
A sprinkler can also be added to the end of the hose for more continual and even water distribution. - 4). Set an electric timer to turn the pump on and off. This will minimize the attention you need to give to the system as well as save energy.
