If your water supply is chlorinated with chloramine (most municipalities use it, these days), sitting around isn't doing anything to reduce its level.

I think my idea of a pump switch got buried in the post.

An aquarium pump cannot pump water through an entire hose - not enough pressure.

You want to get an inexpensive pump from a hydroponic retailer and even those can only pump about 2 meters.

The problem with the amazon nozzle is that the pump will be churning away while not watering and will still have to be unplugged every time.

A switch to turn the pump on and off is easier with simple hose.
