Here's one for the ODT brain trust.

I need a manual water pump that can move water 125 vertical feet. Can't find one rated for that anywhere.

If I downsize the pipe, does that increase the distance? Example, if I use a 1/2 inch line on a pump rated for 25 feet with a 1 inch line, does that mean it will pump 50 feet? 1/4 inch, a 100 feet?
 
Instead of throwing money at it you can make a deep well pump out of pvc and fiberglass tent poles and parts you can assemble at a good plumbing supply (believe it or not) if you just study a cutaway pump diagram. Beats the hell out of throwing $2500 at it.
