High suction lift creek water pump

5 years ago

I want to use a 110V electrical water pump to lift water from the creek. But I don't want to put the pump near the creek but near to my water tank which is some 35ft above the creek and some 100 ft away. This way all I have in the creek is a tube and the pump can be protected under the water tank. Given this suction lift, not having to prime the pump each time, what would be a good pump design? Thanks.

Are you planning an illegal grow?

The reason to put the pump closer to the tank is so it's protected from elements and vandalism. Nothing suggests an illegal grow.

In my area, your setup is used by illegal growers.

I suggest buying from a marijuana grower supplier.

There are tables.

Thanks. Usually all wells need a pump where the pump has to be outside the well, so suction lift is good 50+ ft. This is an old problem, I thought the solution is simple. A bit surprised. But I will talk to Tractor Supply Co. folks to see if they suggest something.
