I could and would with a shallow well pump as suggested, but a normal sump pump does not have a pressure switch built in. I am told that if I put a hose and a nozzle on it, unless the water is constantly running out the nozzle it will burn out the pump. I tried it last year to no avail, not to mention the pressure was not good.
