[QUOTE="bazxa, post: 294796, member: 7154"] I would consider an 11/2 inch pump because of flow/volume losses due to length of hose used. There are more frictional losses in smaller hoses, therefore flow drops quicker. There are no flow charts on that add. 15000 is a big number for a 1 inch pump, most are rated at less.Increasing lift or suction kills volume output very quickly. Have a look at rato pumps or [url]http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-5-inch-Petrol-Water-Transfer-Pump-4-Stoke-Portable-Irrigation-Camping-THORNADO-/251372481449?hash=item3a86f7aba9:g:JVIAAOSwl9BWKbpw[/url].
