I'm working to fence in some new pasture for horses, but it is nowhere near a power supply or well. I'd like to pump water into a water tank (about 150gal) from a stream and am thinking of setting up a solar-charged battery system to run a marine bilge pump (I'd need less than 2m of head). Ideally, I'd alter the switching so it pumps when the water level is down, rather than up (as in a bilge), but I'm hoping for insights about the pitfalls of doing this water supply the way I'm envisioning it.
Any special advice, caveats, etc.??
Thanks.
