Rain barrels: is there any way to get enough pressure to use a hose instead of filling watering cans?


I wish I took physics in school because it would be pretty handy right now I think..and I guess not too late to learn!

I have 2 rain barrels that one I put higher then the other and the other on the ground—hardly any pressure. To which I assume it just needs to be a bit higher up and not flat on the ground.

Is it possible to be able to get enough pressure to use a hose with sprayer at the end? Do I just need to raise it higher? It’s coming from a gutter one a 1story side, so can’t lift it up much anymore. I just don’t want to have to use a pump each time and would prefer to hand water but I also work a lot so don’t always have the time.
