As I expected, I excitedly told enough people and very happy when it
arrived, ah the simple things.  Strangely enough it rained soon after
and hasn't stopped. Where was Murphy.

I considered pond pumps but that would require controlling 240v
device, which I could do but slightly complicates the setup, and most
of the ones I saw made it difficult to connect to the inlet, ie they
needed to be submerged.  The $20.00 ones only had a head height of
about 1 meter not sure if that would do the trick.
