I ran a small 2 inch pump for several years on the one farm back in the boonies and drew out of a nice clean running creek . I installed a foot valve in the suction line used window screen on the basket to filter out any junk and had to lift the water from the creek to the pump about eight feet then push the water up to the sprayer about six or seven feet . Now i never really knew how many GPM it put out put it only took a vary short time to fill a 350 gallon sprayer at between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle . Before i added the foot valve it was always a problem getting prime , but once i did and you manually primed it the first time and the next fill up was just start the pump stand there for a couple min. and shut the pump off . Back in the days i worked in the oil patch we used 3 inch trash pumps to fill farc tanks of 300 BBl. ( 42 gallon to a BBL) and even pushing the water from those Honda 3 inch pumps some times over 500 feet from the creek to the tanks we would fill one in around in around 45 min. So a 3 incher will really put out the water . I know that even my little 2 incher will move LOTS of water wide open as i have only ran it wide open three times and twice was to suck out over 32 inches of water out of my basement and that only took about a half hour .
