Hey I need to pump water from a river and use be able to use it through a hose and also make the hose have pressure. I was thinking pump the water into a barrel and into a hose or something from there? Anyone know anything about if this would work? What would I need? thanks
also there isnt electricity so it needs to be manual
tried to send pix of water pump. no paste function on answers. anyhow a pulley at the top and bottom w/ a paddle wheel ran by river current. gear it down small pulley on paddle to big rope pulley under water to soak rope. an adjustable wringer pulley at top squishes water from soft rope into a drum or tank. i will try to email picture.

References :
buy a submersible water pump. they are the best
and longest runing with high pressure.
also they are portable and u can take out any time.
they are applicable in sea , rivers, very deep pumping etc. but remember to wrap it with a light and silky cloth to prevent the sand going in to it
before use in sea and rivers.
u dont need a barrel or tank. As they re not heating,they can work continuously even for a years.u can operate from a distance, much pressure than any centrigugal pump.
hope it heps. good luck………
