Appreciatively,

I have a:

30 gusher hand pump 1.5" discharge
3000 gpm 12vdc 1.5 discharge
750 gpm 12vdc 3/4" discharge

BUCKET!

plan on getting a portable 11/2" or 2" trash pump diesel powered air
cooled for when I need a real pump.

3000 gallons per minute? You could empty an entire swimming pool in 8
minutes.
