Hippo pump all the way. Available Argos I think. 100litres a minute, though much less once pushed thru pipework.

Mine goes from the end of my 60foot garden down the side of the house to the road so about 120-130 foot, works fine down 40mm plumbing.
Had the same pump since October 2003 by the way!

Better of not using 1/2 inch hose as will take a lot longer i use  a 30m coil of  1 inch aquatic garden pond hose you can get it off ebay for £36.00 Mike
