DIY MANUAL WATER PUMP
Homeade or Cheap Water Pump to back fill an aquarium from an aging barrel.?
I need a way to move around 20 to 30 gallons of clean conditioned water straight up 16 feet twice a week. It can take up to 30-60 minutes or so. Looking for cheap or homemade ideas.
1 inch or smaller hose would be best.
if it’s easy to pump, a manual device would be fine, or adaptable to a small electric motor.
Currently, hand carrying water in 5 gallon buckets upstairs for water changes in a Discus tank. Looking to improve the process on the cheap.
DIY Ideas welcome, as well as inexpensive store bought ideas.
The tank is a 100 gallon Discus tank, thus the need for frequent water changes. Someone suggested a 25 dollar pump from wallyworld, I have not been able to find a pump under 250 dollars that will push water up 17′ of head. Cowboydoc, could you be more specific?
A small pump that is driven by an electric drill motor seems to be your best solution. Black and Decker produced some, use a standard garden hose for in and out. Put the pump at the bottom, they push better than they pull.
