Pump for 55 gallon drum

[mml373]

I lug water for livestock in a 55 gallon drum on my side by side, and need a way to pump water out of that drum. Does anyone have a similar situation and can you recommend a good electric pump that can connect outside the drum and pump water out a standard garden hose? Thank you.

portable bilge pump (boat),
drill powered pump or
one of those pumps on a spray tank like Tractor Supply sells (tank sprayer)

I think a bilge pump if you could get it into the drum. They are very cheap but give a very good flow of water. You might just have to cut the top of the drum a bit to get it in.

Yep. The 12v pumps will move quite a bit of water.
