Somwhere on the thread on waterbutts someone asked about 'old fashioned'
stirrup type or manual pumps. I just noticed that Machine Mart are
selling a good range of repro 'town pump' style pumps from about 20
quid, that *might* be suitable..

If anyone knows of any other sources post here.

I think that may have been me, and the site you recommend is top notch, many
many thanks. I have my eye on one of the smaller models, £24 inc VAT and
delivery, not bad, all I need to do now is work out how to fit/attach it to
the waterbutts at the top of the garden. Then work up the energy to actually
fit it !!!

Glad to be of help.. I had just got their new catalogue and seeing
those rang a bell somewhere in the back of my mind. I would guess you
just need to attach a long pipe to the base of the pump and mount it on
something but not sure how well this will work.. Let us know if it
does..

What I am keeping my eye out for is an old style 'stirrup' type pump or
similar.. That said solar power is getting more feasible for gardens.

Raintanks do a small pump for water nuts and suchlike I think.. Hmmm
Might take a look.
