I was wondering if a bilge pump would work fine for an aeroponics system or would the pump burn out?

...the requirements of a pump, I have been told, is that it needs to be oilless.

no stores around here for 200 miles, get most of my stuff from HTGS, or BGH, but they dont have the high pressure pumps im looking for. i have an eco 1500 gph 13 ft of head x 12 / by 27 is only 5.7 psi running 3 4.5 gph spray jets and thats not near enough as it only tends to just make a strem and not really a spray or mist.
