Is there such a thing? We just want a simple pump with (probably)

Doesn't need to be continuous rated, it will only get run for tens of
minutes. Submersible pumps don't fill the bill. Needs to be able to
self prime and lift water a metre or so on the suction side.

You'd think it was a simple requirement but there really doesn't seem
to be such a thing at a sensible price (i.e. less than £100, preferably
a lot less).

Any ideas?


Would it be possible to fit hose connectors at the bottom of the butts
so a pressure washer that can take water from a butt could be used? Lots
of disbenefits - eg size, noise, can't be left installed - but you did
say "any"...

I missed the OP but if you are prepared to put some manual work in, what
about

Sounded interesting for a job I may have but sadly Hilka say "This would
NOT be suitable for water" (see Q&A)
