+ 1 on the bilge pump, a Ruhl 800 or a reasonable copy is what I use to transfer all my stuff from barrel to barrel and to the head tank. It is kinda slow, but barrel to barrel I just start it and go do something else, the pumps are not affected by running dry. This season I may test a sump pump ( new ) as a faster transfer method, but it needs 110v. The sumps use 12v so you could run off a car or battery if needed.
