Wanted, simple mains powered water pump for garden

Chris Green · 2020-05-28T17:50:58+00:00

Is there such a thing? We just want a simple pump with (probably)BSP/Hozelock input and output connectors for moving water from onewater butt to another and/or pumping water into the greenhouse.Doesn't need to be continuous rated, it will only get run for tens ofminutes. Submersible pumps don't fill the bill. Needs to be able toself 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 seemto be such a thing at a sensible price (i.e. less than £100,preferably a lot less).Any ideas?

what about a water pump out of a junked washing machine? Might need to coble some hose connections and fix it in a box of somesort to fingers and water away from mains, but that's all very DIYish. I did something similar years ago when I wanted timer controlled water valve.
