Got what I consider the perfect storm yesterday afternoon. Just under a quarter inch of rain out of a 10 minute downpour. A little rain that fast doesn't destroy my road but really gets the creeks flowing and I was able to top off my second creek tank by pumping 1,500 gallons into it...while the sun came back out. 80,97,76, .24",B

What do you use for a pump from the creek to the tank?
I have a similar setup pending with a full time live creek. We have a functioning old pool pump but that seems like overkill and is 220V, which we can do but I'd rather not have to.
I use a 2" centrifugal transfer pump powered by a 3.5 HP gas engine. It will move 3,000 gallons from creek to tank in about an hour. A friend gave it to me 13 years ago and it still sucks just fine. https://youtu.be/XU0he1rLbtY
I like it.
Thanks.
