Mini Water Pump (42219) is designed to provide slow moving water for a water feature in HO scale. If memory serves me right (and it probably doesn't) the water out put is around 5~10 gallons per hour. I doubt it would lift water more than just a few inches, probably in the neighborhood of 6~10. This pump is not designed to accomplish what you are trying to do. Why not just go to your local home store (Lowes/Home Depot) and get the parts to install an automatic sprinkler system?
