  • Increases Water Pressure – the centrifugal pump provides pressurized pumping at 0.9 bar / 13PSI
  • Moves Loads Of Water – from a charged solar battery it can pump up to 378 litres (83 gal) of water. So it can empty a 210 litre water butt in just 18 minutes! It takes approx. 8 hours to fully charge the battery
  • Compatible With All Main Watering Brands – the connectors for the hose are standard ½” / 13mm and are suitable for use with Gardena, Claber, Hozelock etc hosepipes and connectors
  • Sophisticated Modern Solar Panel – the compact 8” x 9” (20cm x 23cm), 3.5 Watt Solar Panel provides power to the internal rechargeable battery. It can be mounted on the water butt or on a fence or wall (screws included). Or use the ground spike supplied to anchor the panel into the ground. A 4.5 metre length of cable is supplied to join the solar panel to the pump
  • Simple Installation – easy screw and mount installation, allowing easy fixing with minimal tools required
 
Those sound promising. If you try them keep us updated.
I'm very interested.
 
watch that "max head" height... most of thos are in inches... with aax of 84... which is 7 feet... depends on the job ur trying to do....

http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_37142_37142 might be more appropriate... 40 PSI will lift water to about 50 or 60 feet ans till have enough pressure to deliver to drip....

but you'll need a battery to run it (10 amps 12 v dc) and a solar panel to charge it... trust me.. solar water pumping is more complex than most people understand... water is heavy at 8 lbs per gallon... which means it requires a lot of energy to lift it any height...

just FYI
