preferably a lot less).


A used central heating pump?


Yes, possibly, but it's not really ideal is it? Surely people (like
me) sometimes want to run a hose out of water butt A, across the
garden and into water butt B (or into containers in the greenhouse).
It's quite likely that electricity isn't available at both ends too,
so a non-submersible pump that can produce a reasonable amount of suck
is needed (not so much that it collapses the hose of course).


Most people put a bucket or watering can under the tap :-)
