Re: another bounce : RO water

["Daniel Boyer" <dpboyer@axs2k.net>]

I use a 32 gallon trashcan with wheels...  I went to Wal-Mart and in the
fishing/boating section they sell bilge pumps.  I bought one that can pump
450gph for $10 (for around $25 you can buy one that pumps 1000gph... which
may be what you need for a long distance pumping).  Then I happened to have
a small 12v battery laying around (these can be purchased for under $30...
or you can make or buy a 120v to 12vdc (2A) converter).  I attached a hose
to the output of the pump and I connected a light switch ($0.24) so I could
turn it on and off... with this pump I can pump water into my tanks with are
over 6' above the floor (of course flow at that height is reduced to about
100gph... but it is still better than using buckets to lift it).
Hope this helps
Daniel Boyer
