will this pump work???

[spencer11]

i need to pump sap up from the bottom of my property to my yard or shack. a min. of about 200 feet and about a max. of 400 feet depending if i go straight to my shack or my yard. it would only be about a 20 elivation difference. i found this sump pump and was wondering if it would work for this?

No you need more pump than that. the pump your looking at is rated for 5' of head,you need a transfer pump insted.

[spencer11]

what pump would you recomend? i like the auto start and shautoff of the sump pumps.

A shallow well set up should be ok. You can get float balls that plug into an outlet and what ever pump into that for float ball control. I think Grangers has them.

okay thanks. grangers has about everything you could ever want so they should have something.but thanks for the advice.

check Ebay lots of new and used pumps on there. some of the new come with factory warrentys and free shipping

I would think that you would want a new pump right?

[spencer11]

yes i think i would just get a new pump. they arnt that expensive. should i buy 2, and use one and have the other as a backup?
