[QUOTE="suitep123, post: 428775, member: 6619"] We actually did have a gas pump - but it was stolen, in the space of about 1/2 hour - while we were on the property. We now have a make-shift pump house to house things in and lock them down..... We aren't trying to do this with no money - it just seems like everything we are finding that will work is almost $1000. There are pumps available that would do the job, but they either don't have the lift, or their life span is WAY too short. You would think someone somewhere would have something middle of the road in life-span, performance, and price. We're looking at going with a wind generator and voltage regulator to power the pump - it's a matter of finding the right pump in the right price range to not make this whole thing so cost prohibitive. If necessary though we are not beyond charging batteries at home and hauling them and swapping them out daily. The property is close enough to home that's not a huge deal. Needing to set up the pump system, if we can't get this tank set up to run, the cost of a new tank could possibly do us in. Thank you all for your input! [/QUOTE]
