I have a cabin with no well. I have 55 gallon drums of fresh water and plan on putting a sprayer tank permanently inside for water usage. I need a pump that able to pump water vertically about 12 feet, electrical or 12v whatever is cheaper. Can someone help me out?

That's going to take quite a pump to push water 12' vertically.


Is this for watering a garden? If you're using this for potable water use, like for showering or bathing, drinking water, you'll need to consider a sumbersible well pump. Those start around $400.
