Water pump for rain water storage to water garden?

[helpimcrap]

As title.

My Nana has eventually decided to go onto a water meter. Problem is she likes gardening.
She has no outside tap thank God but she has a rain water storage tank with a hose fitment (i think as haven't looked).
Obviously gravity fed it will trickle out.
Is there a pump I can buy that will hook up to suck the water out but also provide a hose connection out to allow her to use the water on the garden and plants?

What kind of storage tank does she have? I have seen water butt pumps at the likes of b&q and wickes that may be what you are looking for

Any small centrifugal pump will do as ling as it has standard hose connections it should be simple enough for you nan to get out and put away on her own,

would something like this do?

I've been having similar thoughts and have settled on this as a potential option. www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-633872-Water-Butt-Pump/dp/B000T9R2GC

It seems to do everything I need and hopefully will suit your nana too.

Not sure if you can lower the pressure but most pressure washers have the option to pull water from a tank rather than mains feed.

On a related topic it also worth considering soak hoses.

I have a Clarke submersible in mine.

Thanks for the links guys. I never actually thought to look in wickes and b&q because it was a bit specialist and specific.

Google for submersible pump, very common items often used in ponds etc. They'll all have a hose connection.

Found this which seems perfect http://www.diy.com/departments/hozelock-3in1-water-butt-pump/189669_BQ.prd

But do you have to stick it actually in the tank and pump water out or can i connect it to the water tank tap and draw water that way?

Edit thanks for the help all. I did a post but it's not worked for some reason.

usually it's a thing you have to sink into the water, not attached to the tap..if that's any help..

That pump needs to be submerged. The water comes in via a filtered inlet in the base of the body.

They also sell an inline pump that has hose connections for the input and output. It's easy enough to find on the manufacturer's website.

I never knew these existed. Can't wait to pump my butt all over the flowers now.

Looking at some instructions - it says store the pump in a dry location. Can't they be left in my butt permanently?

Thank you.
