I did a similar sort of thing and did it for two years and the pump worked fine and still does
i used a hoselock connector that had a flow valve on it

you have standard hose pipe from your sub pump?  Use some 1 inch hose and you'll get a much higher flow rate.

yes i know but i have to transfer it 30 meters or so so would be more expensive than garden hose ;)

I used to have to transfer mine about 25 metres, cost about 50quid for a 30metre length.  If it saves you 10mins in the morning then it'll have paid for itself in 2 weeks easily.
