hi all...i'm researching options for moving water (uphill, unfortunately) from my rain barrel set up. I'm leaning towards a rotary pump, and wonder if folks have recommendations for specific brands/models, what to look for in terms of inlets/outlets (hook up to standard garden hose seems helpful?), etc.

thanks!

Don't remember where I found this link but it includes an incredible amount of info about low-tech water movement and storage. I spent about 4 hours clicking around my first time!
