I remember reading a thread about trash and semi-trash pumps, but the search feature isn't locating it. If anyone finds it, can you please post up the link. I hate re-inventing the wheel.
Meanwhile, my 30+ Leyland Cypress' in middle GA are in need of some serious water. Walking water in 5 gallon buckets isn't cutting it no more in that humid 100*+ heat.
We're thinking of putting a tote or 55 gal barrels on a trailer, filling them with pond water with a trash(semi) pump and watering the 30+ trees with a garden hose tapped into the bottom of the tote.
I've had good luck with the Champion brand. They have a 3", 20,580 gal/hr semi-trash pump from Tractor Supply Co. for just over $400.00 I figure I can use this later when I go to drain my pond. I love Honda engines as much as the next guy, but this is an unexpected expense and it will only see limited use.
I'm open to suggestions if anyone has gone down this road before. This needs to happen asap.
