How to pump water between 2 tanks, type of pump and size
Hi Folks, I need to transfer rain water between 4 tanks and am wondering what would be a suitable pump and the size to go about this.
The tanks that has the water in them are old well rusted corrugated tanks with an inch outlet at the bottom and the new tanks are 3,000L poly type with a 3 1/2 inlet right at the top that I can poke the 3/4 hose through.
When I'm done transferring the water, latter I'd like to use the pump to pump water from the new tanks to a small claim miners hut and to a wash processing plant.
The pump will need to be electric and best would be one with a 10amp plug.
I know nothing about pumps and would like to have some knowledge for when going to purchase the pump.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the information
Thanks for the information guys, much appreciated, I'm going to go with a decent no problems Davey pump and the 2 x 3,000L tank outlets will be at the same height as the taps in the hut.
I'll have a tap at the kitchen sink, 2 in the shower, one at the workshop/shed and one at the processing plant.
Today after getting back from the claim, we have to go out and erect new datum corner posts and take photo's for the Mines Department to finish off all the new ownership paperwork we'll stop off at the best of our pump businesses and see about the Davey pump and fittings and within the next week ( luckily we have the 500 klm Outback Queensland round trip rule ) we'll head on out and transfer the water, connect up the tanks and run the poly pipe to a temporary shower with water fed from a pod tank and wood stove heated water and to an old 1960's Main Roads caravan with a single tape and a line to the start of the shed build and these will do while were in the process of building the 10 x 5 hut.
We have got to get busy with the building of the hut because we really only have 6 beautiful cool weather months out this way to build anything but being a mine claim theirs no noise restrictions so during the 6 hot months the building and underground mining can be done of a night.
There is no town water at the claim so we'll have a gutter on every roof to capture water but should the water supply run low we only need to travel 10 ks and tank in 1000 lts of water at a time.
We both being 60 and both being made redundant from working with the Qld Government for 30 years this is our early retirement lives for about 5 years and then we'll head to the coast to see out the remainder of our days.
A couple of pics, one of the tunnel were digging and a blue star sapphire we had polished.
