basslet	# Posted: 6 Jul 2010 09:50pm Reply hi all...i'm researching options for moving water (uphill, unfortunately) from my rain barrel set up. I'm leaning towards a rotary pump, and wonder if folks have recommendations for specific brands/models, what to look for in terms of inlets/outlets (hook up to standard garden hose seems helpful?), etc. thanks!
