Sprayer filling pump

Looking to put an extra pump on sprayer for filling it has a 2” inch hyd centrifugal pump at moment which is a beast but not so good if the tank is on the ground so looking for an extra pump which will lift water better probably hyd driven. A pacer type any good?

How long does it take? How bigs tank?

My tanks only 2k litres but can't fill it with chemicals before sprayer tank is full. Be putting 5 different chemicals in.

3700 brimmed , If doing round up and want all water in before water conditioner , fill fast as it will , will time it tommorow for you
If filling a cocktail ,just have pacer running steady while get chem in ,with sprayer on re circ ,then switch to suction ,so wash cans out with clean water ,
have 2 /5000, and a 3000 ,tanks

Yea we are on same page just wanting to check pacer will draw from ground level ok

pacer will pump from well below ground level even

i’ve pumped out of rivers 20ft plus below the pump before (not into a sprayer before someone gets upset and points out the obvious illegality of that !)

Piston diaphragms also self prime no problem
