Home Made Mobile Water Transfer Unit

<div>Hi,

I am contemplating on making up my own mobile H2O Transfer Unit. As you will see from the image below that there are units out there that do this sort of thing. However, I will want one that will transfer with a large force i.e. washing a car, so it needs to be at least the same at domestic water pressure or preferably greater.

One item I just saw on EBay was a Kerrimuir electric pump with a cover but this may not be required if I put the unit in a sealed are on my machine. Then what about if there is no electrical supply? Well given that I only intend to use it for domestic use that shouldn’t be a problem but then you could use a petrol operated one. Or when that becomes $8 a litre we could use solar panels but then I think that is a long way off yet – well I am hoping so.

Has anyone done something along these lines? If so, would there be anything you would change given the benefit of hindsight? Would it make any difference having the pump above the supply of water or vice versa?

I would appreciate your thoughts or suggestions in how I should tackle this.

Regards
