I'm just looking for something that can manually pump water out of a large container. Anyone have any suggestions, links, etc...? |

In the rv section you can generally find some small hand pumps for water. I siphon stuff mostly. Especially when messin with 5 or 7 gallon water jugs. I am somewhat thinking about getting into 55 gallon water drum storage and I picked up an old cart made for drums that not only lets you use the cart as a dolley but it is also made to roll onto its back and lift the drum up so the drum winds up a foot and half or so off the ground. A spigot would be the preferred setup when doing this. Then again with a full drum I can still play with a siphon for a while and once that won't work I can wrestle the drum. Even with my kerosene I am getting to where I just siphon stuff. I got tired of the cheap hand pumps for filling my kerosene heaters and never bought a decent one so a good hose and I am in business. |

Rotary pumps work well when syphoning isn't convenient. Clamp a hose to the end of the spout and off it goes. Harbor Freight has them. They usually have a $20 water-only version in stock but can't seem to find it today. Northern Tools and Tractor Supply also have them. |
That looks perfect. Thanks. |
