I need to pump about a million gallons of water in about a year.

This pump here is 3/4 inch and at maximum rpm it will take 127 days running 24/7. I am assuming i will wear it out by then but buying another or repairing it is fine. The water to be pumped is "clean" but there may occasionally be some sediment from fish or rain kicking shit up.

The problem I have is that my source of power is about 1,000 feet away.

It seems to me stringing 100 foot extension cords is probably just going to arson the landowners field so wtf do i do?

Cable for big pumpjack motors is like $3 a foot. I'm only running a little motor tho.

I forgot, the pump says it can pump up to 39 feet but i only need it to pump about 20-25 feet high. And the intske will be about 3 feet of that straight up. Or at an angle if that would help? So it shouldnt see full load.

So what guage of wire will i need to safely run this guy 24/7 and not start a pasture fire?

Here's the pump i am considering.

My other option is a diy windmill and PVC pump but i don't see that lasting long. I may be able to assemble a small oil well pump but im not sure.
