Clean or dirty water pump for sunken kiddie pool duck pond?

[Backyard DIY]

This photo gives an idea of the space constraints, but you know what, I think if I move the pool right up into the corner I may be able to ramp up on the other side(s) without blocking the door or losing too much space. Now, the logistics of working the swamp is another matter! I'm definitely gonna look into this when I get home from work.

If you are in UK try Wilko they do a dirty water pump for about £100 last time I checked.
Here it is-

This is the one I was looking at, £63. I'm definitely going to look at mounting it on a pallet first though as that would be a cheaper long term solution. Need to check if the incline up to the pool would be too steep though.

I've seen a pic of a decent raised setup in one of the duck house threads - I'll have a look and see if I can pull the link up
