What gets pumped won't be digested nor placed into the body in any
way.

You might consider one of the many styles of condensate pumps
available. They will pump fluids with some solids and are
generally constructed of non-corrosive materials.

http://hartell.thomasnet.com/category/condensate-pumps?
for example.

Some of these sell for under $100 and will achieve the 1 GPM goal.

You can search a dazzling array of different types of pumps on eBay
for more resources.

I had a great source for fountain pumps that I use for Halloween
props. I no longer have the bookmark, though.

Something along these lines:

Now we're talking! That's where I'll go first. Thanks, Mitch.

We don't mind an OT post now and again. What we hate is google. So find
another way to access usenet. Then we'll be nice. Maybe.
