Ok, so water changes are hard for me beacause I have to carry buckets of fresh mixed water up 6 stairs because I mix in the basement (I live in a tri-level so not a true basement). Right now I have a 3/4 inch hose that I start a syfin with a little 250gph Accela pump and it flows down the 6 stairs into the sump in the basement. Draining is easy. Now for filling up same distance, about 25 feet, but up about total 5 feet. The pump ALMOST makes it but stops about 2 feet from the tank . SO since this if for waterchanges I really want the cheapest Pump that can make the head combo of 25 feet horizontal and 6 feet vertical. I don't care it if is ugly, loud, or even tends to over heat with time (basically a red headed step child style pump that can make it up the hill. SO help me out here people what pump do I pick?
3 Requirements: Needs to be submergible, and needs to pump my water from my mix barrel in the basement to my sump up 6 stairs and around the corner. Under 60$.
Cheapest pump that will make it up the hill :)
