Water pump help

[Breaksbassbleeps]

Hi everyone.

Could anyone recommend a good 12v/24v water pump? My only real requirement is that it can pump to a height of 30 meters as it’s needed to pump water from a rainwater tank to a header tank in the attic.

Thank you.

We used to use the RV pumps but most brands would break. Now we use the Aquatec pumps with a large pressure tank. You are lifting to 30m/90ft which is 39 PSI. The 6800 series should do the trick and those have been very reliable for us so far.

as i said in another topic, use air, it works wonders cheaply and easily

Probably be a good idea to put up a how-to on building the Brumby air pumps etc. I have seen good results from others using them but I have never built one.

tractor supply has some 12v water pumps and so does harbor freight and maybe northern tools. Also check real goods web site. https://www.realgoods.com maybe.

I just bought a  2hp 4cycle gasoline engine pump from harbor freight. Pumps 1800 gph with 25 foot draw and 100 foot possible head.  Will fill about 300 gallons of holding tanks from pond to garden. Will also flood irrigate garden  from pond with it.

We use a 2.9 gpm pump to move rain water into our home to the shower and sink.   it is a 12 volt .5amp pump.   bought it off amazon.   like 45 dollars.   it will draw from 90 feet and push over 200.   We draw about 14 feet and are pushing water through all of our 1/2 plumbing in our home.   We live fully off-grid and use it to move our water.   We do use a filter for the sink but shower no need other than a strainer filter.   I will post the items we use for water in our off-grid home
