Another good pump is a Delevan or SurFlow diaphragm pumps like the Delevan 5850. These pumps range from 2-10 gallons per minute and can be purchases as a 110 volt or 12 volt model. I have no power at the pen so I went with the 12 volt system and made clips to connect to my truck battery. All you have to do is place a screen over the end of the pickup hose and you are fine.They can be had for under $50 and I know that tractor supply or rural king stores carry them as well as most farm stores. Even at 5 gallons per minute, you are moving a lot of water and you can hook the other end to a sprinkler and water that way if you want to as they put out 45 to 60 psi.
