After reading everyone's wc setup, I realized that there was a type of pump nobody seemed to be using--drill pumps.

It's a garden hose pump that one hooks up to a cordless drill. The specs are often rather impressive (100 ft. head and 660 gph). Hook it up to a electric motor (quieter than a drill) and away you go............or do you?
Seriously, is there any reason it would be adverse to use this type of drill? They seem to be the centrifugal type.......I think. Is this the reason one can't use 'em? Or has no just tried it out? I'm not worried about debris in the line (thus, I'm not worried about burning out the motor or breaking the impellor).
Explain to me, please, why using this would be bad. Otherwise, I just found my pump.
