It says 8.9 amps on it. I can find nothing about max head or lift. If I get a small-ish generator I can mount it on a little trailer and drag it up there with my lawn tractor whenever I need to water. That might work sufficient to my needs. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies everyone! The creek is about 6-8' with a steep bank down from the garden plot. The pump I have is a 115v, 1hp transfer pump, which according to the package, is specifically designed for pumping water out of creeks for sprinklers and pumps 8.9 GPM. I haven't tried it...

Thanks!

Love that! One more thing on my list of "things to do"!
