I have a spring that currently feeds into a water tank, which in turn feeds another tank 100m away. I want to extend this by another 400m but will need to pump it about 5-8m higher than tank at the spring.
My plan was to replace the tank at the spring with a 1000l or bigger then I'd like to fit a 12v pump charged by solar panel. Current pipe to second tank is 20mm and would prefer to use it so looking for a pump that will work with thus size of pipe.
There are numerous pumps on the Internet but they seem to be submergeable, think I'd like to fit one on tank outlet.
Has anyone got a similar set up, does it work, and does the solar panel keep it charged?
And has anyone got a link to a pump that will fit on tank outlet?
Many thanks
