So is it feasible to put a pump in a rain water butt to feed water to the
power washer?


Mine worked just fine from a bucket. Used water surprisingly slowly, too.



Eh? So are you saying that they suck water - they don't require any
pressure [at the input end]?


I have a Karcher 411A and it sucks water up without any head of
pressure. It takes some seconds to get the water out of the lance
though, due to the slow rate of water use, but otherwise was fine.
