Phil Brandvold<p>I have an old dishwasher sitting around destined for the scrap yard, but I want to pull a few pieces off that might be useful (heading element, etc). I have an idea to use the circulation pump as a garden water pump from my future rain barrels. Anyone out there done something similar? Is it simple to wire up with a simple on/off switch? Any way to power it with solar and batteries even though it's 110v A/C? <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/upcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>upcycle</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/fixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fixit</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/reuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reuse</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/tinker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tinker</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a> <a href="https://techtoots.com/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a></p>
