I'm thinking of buying a march pump because all my setup is in the basement, but I boil up a flight of stairs in my garage. I plan on transfering liquids both ways. I read that the pump should be near the vessel one is pumping out of, so that would mean I have to move the pump from basement to garage and visa versa. Some basic questions: Would I be better off getting the pump with a plug or one that I wire? I have to pump about 16 feet, 5 of which is up hill. Can the pump handle that? The pump has to be primed. What does one actually do to prime the pump? Is it a hassle? And, do I have to prime it each time I start the pump? Thanks for any advice.
