Garden pump
I need a garden water pump to raise water two metres from
the adjacent canal to my small lawn. I'd be interested to hear recommendations on brand and any other advice. |

Good luck! :-) 'Pond pumps' seem to have random reliability in my experience, price is no guide. If a submersible pump would do what you need then I'd personally go for the cheapest you can see on eBay or similar. As regards mains or 12v then I'd personally go for 12v but it all depends on how easily you can provide power of either voltage. How much water do you actually want? If you want a non-submersible pump then I don't really have any experience. -- Chris Green · |

James was thinking very hard :
I need a garden water pump to raise water two metres from the adjacent canal to my small lawn I don't think water extraction from a canal is allowed. |

If you want a non-submersible pump then I don't really have any experience. I use a 12V pump non-submersible purchased cheaply from Ebay to pump de-onised water up a 18 foot window washing pole for washing upstairs windows. The only slight problem is priming it in the first place. It's meant to be self priming but it will not prime properly if the pole and connecting hose is connected. I first have to remove the output hose and pole and then water pumps freely. I can then switch off the pump, connect the hose/pole and turn the pump on again where it now works without problems. I paid £16 for the pump (100psi 6Litres/minute) and £14 for a mains to 12V supply Water and mains electricity don't mix so a waterproof enclosure is required for the power supply -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

You only have to fit a non-return valve mechanism at the suction point. A one-way plastic hose connector at the inlet to the pump will do the same. |
