I'm still maybe missin' the boat a little here. I can put the pump anywhere I want, but I'm operating under the assumption that I can buy a better pump for the money if I'm pushing the water up the hill instead of pulling it. That's why I want the pump just above the water level in the pond as opposed to placing up on the hill. Has this point been established?
...and where the heck is Theo, anyway? He always loves to jump in these physics problems.
