[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1161794, member: 18945"] Shanghai, I've done this before (not as long and only about 10' gradient of a hill along a 500' run) and I tied the suction hose and strainer up close to a sealed up 5 gal bucket and tossed it out in the pond. Strainer and check valve hung down about 1' from the bucket floating on the surface of the water--worked like a charm. I didn't have electric down at the pond so used a little dinky Craftsman pump, 2" suction hose on a 1 1/2" discharge on a gas powered B&S engine. I figured it would blow the seals out of the pump but it didn't. I've got one of these types too, that I used to pump out the treated liquid side of a water treatment system last year. Moves lots more water than I thought it would. [url=http://www.sumppump1.com/images/right-sump-pump.jpg]http://www.sumppump1.com/images/right-sump-pump.jpg[/url] Wayne makes some pretty good stuff.
