Looking to build a DIY water change assistance system :)

[SharkLover]

I'm looking for something that will pump water out of a 20H for about 15yards and pump water into a 20H for about 15 yards.

Please dont say stop being lazy and just walk, the point is to have it DIFY lol.

I was thinking for 15 yards, maybe 1200gph pump will make mends? Anyone good with mathematics that can calculate the minimum pressure needed for lets say a DIY garden hose hookup, unless theres better flexiable /mobile material?


So ya sorry it sounds confusing, the question is whats a good pump for that length (15 yards) both ways. I need to be able to remove it for storage when not doing water changes.

It's not so much the distance in yards although it is a factor, but most important is the vertical distance, is this all on one floor?

Yes all on the same floor
