Josh, good suggestions from Ken concerning filteration of water etc, but you've still got to get the water up the hill. I have a very similar situation, and since I live at the pond and have electricity I don't have those two problems. Trash pump and electric pump work fine. I could dam my full time creek up and get a little more "drop" for a ram pump, but I just don't think that's worth the effort.
Bronco, how is your pumping going?
