External water pump above water level

[ilaizm]

Hi,

I am looking for a water pump which can be placed on top of the tank to drain water from it. The external ones I found so far need to be placed below water level as I was told they only push water but not suck water.

Do water pumps which suck water exist? If so, can you suggest a few please?

thanks

Wayne PC-2 or a clone from Northern tool....self priming, cheap..(available at most decent hardware/big box stores

I am looking for the opposite, something reasonable priced that can push water from a holding tank to my big tank.

I bought PC2 recently and found it to be an awesome pump. I'm using it to drain but it will do well for refilling too.

Here is the link to best price I found on the pump. I am looking at this for my self as well. Thanks for the lead Gary.

A pond pump is your solution. Home Depot, Lowes have them.
