Setternut, I think so. I will tell you a 2" pump will drain a 55 gallon drum PDQ, and require a lot of swapping of the inlet and outlet hoses. I would use something that held as much water as possible. Rainman (Rex), posted on an Alum thread, and used an ibc tote to mix in. I liked that. If you could find a clean used tote, that would probably give you 4-5 times the water volume when mixing the lime and water, and mean less total hose swaps.

I've had some pumps that pulse when running, and a 2-3' piece of 2" pvc screwed to the end of the outlet hose will give you something rigid to hold on to if needed.
