[QUOTE="iamagoldenoldie2, post: 426964, member: 8077"] the edison bargin pump specs indicate it will be ok for 50 m head thats got some grunt to lift water that high or along a hose, but the killer is the size of the hose 50mm diameter has less frictional loss than the 38mm hose ,,,, the factors to consider are ...... the head that is the level of the water supply in relation to the outlet, and the distance the outlet is from the pump , there are formulas for working out the pressure req to pump a certain distance ,..... spotted gum handles look at the grain but if your a tinkerer , cut a sampling above 75 mm diameter then work on it with your spoke shave to make a handle, the other overlooked wood is the good old tea tree lots around for hammer handles but you need at least 500 mm for shovel handles and it aint always straight but they are strong [/QUOTE]
