The MVH-10A is controlled by water level, not by pressure, so it does not stop when you release a trigger. Closing the outlet while it runs makes it pump against a closed discharge. Switch the pump off at its plug before closing the outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it run an oscillating sprinkler?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Because it is level-controlled rather than pressure-controlled, it does not cycle on and off with a sprinkler whose flow or pressure varies. That is why we usually recommend it over a pressure-controlled pump such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/floodandwaterpumps.co.uk\/products\/divertron-submersible-well-water-pumps\"\u003eDAB Divertron\u003c\/a\u003e for sprinkler duty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I connect it to an ordinary garden hose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main delivery run should stay 25 mm to limit friction loss.
