Title: help with a water pump
Post by: Sunshine on October 17, 2004, 07:24:32 pm: Hi Guys ....I need your help again.

I need to get my hands on a water pump. This is not going to be used for a WFP, but to pump water from one container to another.

Dont really care how much the pump can handle I can leave it on for hours if need be.

Any thoughts........I just need to move the water.

Look forward to hearing from you..

Sunshine.

80 Litres per minute, now that is some transfer rate.

Have you considered raising the main tank on blocks? Then you can let gravity transfer the water to the smaller container. Of course, that's assuming you're draining into something like 25ltr containers.

Hi Phil,

Nice trading name, checked out your site as I was sure I'd seen it before - yes, I have - in AWC! Welcome to the other side of the pond, hopefully you might pick up some hints from us Brits ;)

To both Sunshine and Phil . . .
How about filling in a bit more of your profile and signature - don't be mystery men - give us a bit more information.

Plan B . . .
How about a 'Y' or 'T' piece on the original source pipe to the first IBC so you can have a pipe to each of the containers. To divert the flow to either tank put a shut-off valve on each of the pipes after the split.

Et Voila! You don't need to buy, and supply power to, a new pump!

That'll be a fiver, thanks!

Considering this post was from 17 years ago, I’d guess that he found his pump between now and then 😂

I guess Sunshine wasn't too happy with the response he got from this forum. He hasn't visited since 2016.
