Thanks Glenn, I already have my pila set up, so I have the water supply figured out, I just have no idea what size pump to use and what else I will need to drag down.

Any help is appreciated.

I have a small 12v system with one 90 watt panel and two used 6volt deep cycle batteries and a shureflow 12v pump. http://www.shurflo.com/pages/Marine/marine_categories/potabl...
The batteries are rejects from someones solar system and hold enough charge to run through the night. I don't have a voltage regulator cuz the batteries aren't good enough to over charge and use regular stranded wire from the panel to the batteries and then to the pump. This system runs the whole house & my VHF radio. You could use a cheaper/smaller pump but the one that hopefully comes up in the URL doesn't need a holding tank (pressure tank).
Edit: URL's not right. I'll find one that shows what I have and edit this one out.
Edit two: Maybe this one will work.
#3 Extreme™ Series Smart Sensor™ 5.7 is what I have.

Running a 110v pump is not a good choice unless you have a large solar system. I use a Shurflo 12v with my solar system and it works great. I see no reason to take the 12V from a solar system and use a inverter to change to 110 to do something that in most cases can be done as well at 12v. 14 years using this system and happy. Neighbors have almost all taken out their 110 pumps and replaced with 12v.
