[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 6440, member: 147"] G'day elrodea,..I run a Honda WX15 4stroke....and these will adequately run a Banker up to 400mm wide. The main thing with pumps is to get one that you can easily carry. To hi-bank any volume you really need a pump that can deliver at least240 litres / minute. The other main thing to look out for is the amount of head the pump can pump to. The WX15 can pump to a 40m head and if your any distance with your banker from the river edge, the higher the head the better. Some pumps deliver a lot of water but at low pressure so be careful when your looking that the pump produces reasonable pressure. Any small fire fighting pump would be quite suitable for hi-banking......reducing a 2" pump is ok... :) Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
