Water transfer pump.

For those of you who have a static RO with storage tank.....


What pump do you use to transfer water to your vehicle? We were using this until it packed up this week:

I USE THIS:

absolute bargain for £45,  drop it in your tank and away you go.

i submerged ours into a large bucket of pure water to remove any rubbish on it before i put it into the ibc.

i use the same sort of sub pumps but the switch has broke so ive cut it off and just wired it up and made the connection fully water proof. the cheap ones are ok but its the switch that goes not the pump

Does everyone just use submersibles?

No fixed in line pumps?

Why would you want an in-line?  Submersibles are convenient, reliable and cheap.  We have four, all different makes but all about the same price £35-£40 and all do the same job.
