Pump in tank..........
do not know how much Alex sells sub pumps for, can you shed light on that Chris ?


I did have to cut a v vent in ibc tank to get wickes one in, but have to say it works greta and pumps like a gooden, till I find better I will be buying the same pump for the other ibcs.

I cant take a pic of my ibc tanks or pump as I cant get in there as is a little cramped for space, roll on 5 weeks fingers crossed double crossed and toes crossed also.... I then get a full unit kitted out with loads of space and no faffing about  ;D,

The pump speed will be slowed by 1/2 maybe  2/3's because of the length of the hose.  I have a 280lpm pump but at my last place pumping at a length of 50 meters it would still take 13 mins to fill a 650L tank, not 2 and a bit mins.

that looks like a pump you would use to clean windows with, if it is it is no where near good enough it does not have enough flow

I was using 1 inch hose, now I'm in a different place the pump only has to pump about 5 meters of 1 inch and it only takes 4-5 mins tops.  I wouldn't have wanted to reel out anything bigger than 1 inch over that distance.

What problem? link?  Doesn't take a lot to confuse me and you've done it?

Pump was off of gardiners, and the hose and reel were from some irrigation sites.  Hope that has answered any questions.
