Hi Barbara,
I got this pump for my birthday about 8 years ago. I believe its a 1/4 HP, in any case it looks like the one pictured in the link. I have a 10 foot plastic hose with a garden sprayer handle about 18 inches long which was purhased at Home Depot. The sprayer has a part which allows me to keep the water coming out without holding down the control handle. I submerge it into a 5 gallon pail I bought in Home Depot. I used to be able to lift it with 4 gallons of water in it but now I put the almost empty pail on a table and fill it with 4 one gallon containers. It has been trouble free for that length of time and I use it weekly generally filling the pail three times to water my collection.

Thanks, Fred. I noodled around some more and found your original post too.

I was going to do a gravity feed system, but I think the pump is the way to go. Less hassle, probably a wash on the pump versus the spigot, adapters, etc.

I'll take a picture when whatever I do is done....
