Does anyone know what I need to buy, I live on a River and have permission to abstract up to 400 gallons per day. As I'm on a water meter, I'm going to take advantage of the river and use the water for watering garden/lawns beds etc.

Does anyone know what sort of pump I need to buy - electric, diesel? Is there something I can buy to put in the river and connect my hose to?

get a submersible one thats used for draining floods.they look like a big paint can.
you just drop 'em in ,turn on the leccy and away you go.
(theyre about 30 quid i think)

Cheers mate, 307cc by the way - the photo just makes it look squashed its the wife's. Although its currently in a garage having £4k worth of damage repaired following some prat of a kid driving into the side of her last week. Therefore, she's currently posing in a renault scenic!!
