Can I put a triggered sprayer at the end of the hose, or does the hose end need to remain open the entire time?

Answer
The hose end needs to remain open at all times. You can use a nozzle on the end of the hose, but it does need to be kept open at all times.

Hey Jim. Can I down-size the inlet and outlet hose on this CW20 water pump from 2in. to 1in.?

Answer
It's always recommended that you should NEVER reduce your suction hose diameter. And while it's also not recommended on the discharge side, you can usually get away with safely reducing that by one size, i.e., 2" down to 1-1/2" as long as as you are not pumping an extremely long distance. Doing so, puts added strain and backpressure on the pump and motor, thereby reducing it's life and increasing the likelihood of premature failure that would NOT be covered under the warranty.
