The pump is powered by the included solar panel which is easy to install and works with most standard rain barrels. The RainPerfect doesn’t require electricity and provides plenty of pressure through an ordinary garden hose to run most low pressure sprinklers, water your garden, or wash your car.
How to enter the contest
For the next FOUR Mondays at 9:30 EST, a question, thought up by Fine Gardening magazine’s editor, Steve Aitken, will be posted on Fine Gardening magazine’s Facebook page. To participate you have to go to RainPerfect Pump’s Facebook page to “like” them. Then you can post your answer to OUR question on THEIR wall. There is no right or wrong answer to these questions; we just want to hear from you! On the following Monday morning, Steve will read everyone’s answers and choose one winner!
The second week’s prize is:
• (One) RainPerfect Pump. RainPerfect is available online and through select retailers nationwide for approximately $139.00 (MSRP, USD$).
• (One) Outdoor Ideas & Solutions Special Interest Publication
Total approximate prize value: $146.99 (USD$)
The prize for the week that starts Monday, March 12, will be announced at 9:30 EST on that day.
If you don’t win this week, don’t get discouraged. There will be a brand-new question posted on our wall every Monday morning for FOUR weeks. Head on over to our page to check it out and then zoom to RainPerfect Pump’s page to share your answer.
You could be the next winner!

The notice about this contest just came in my email today, March 12, even though it says that the contest is over March 11! I tried anyway and hope you are extending the open date.
I hope you come up with a non-Facebook way to play the game in the future. What a shame that one has to participate in facebook (expletive-deleted) to be included. I think that is very discriminatory (not in the EEO sense of course). I am strongly opposed to facebook and its anti-privacy and tracking practices. Too bad for me.
Mary,
Here is the link to the blog post of the second week rules:
https://www.finegardening.com/item/22314/are-you-pumped-for-your-second-chance-to-win-a-rainperfect-pump
The contest is running for four separate weeks, so you still have three more chances to win!
Garden,
I understand your frustration, but the partnership with RainPerfect was to help them advertise their facebook page. Therefore, it needed to be a facebook contest.
Is this where I answer the question. I was just a bit unclear. Am I pumped? I am pumped about being a grandma! I am pumped about our new summer venture which this year includes getting really serious about the garden we are will be planting this year. In fact it will be the beginning of a complete redo of our property! So we have some long term plans we are putting together.
Grandma,
You have to be a member of facebook to answer the question. It is posted on our facebook wall. Then you go to RainPerfect Pump's facebook wall and answer the question there. 'Are you pumped?' is just the title of the blog post. Is that a bit more clear?
