I have 10 metres of 3/4 inch piping in use at the moment.
Looking at buying a 240 sub pump with a 1'' fitting. It says it can be used with several sizes over 1''.
Will it be ok to use it with a reducer and the 3/4 inch hose or will the pressure break the pump?
Thanks.

you will be ok with a reducer .

What pump you going to buy and what price. ?

Smaller the pipe longer it will ale to fill, I would not go to 3/4 at all way to slow

Thanks guys, just bought the 3/4 inch pipe to suit a 12v pump which i have, however going to end up having to buy a larger battery if I keep on with that idea. The spare backpack battery is not, i think providing enough power to the pump as its very slow.
I might just swallow and upgrade to 1'' pipe. I think an electric sub pump would be a better idea, and the neighbours got one going spare!
Planning on transferring pure water from storage tank direct to a tank in my vehicle.
So avoiding filling and carrying barrels.

my advice would be to get a thicker hose than 1inch and get a 240v subpump they cost about £40 out of wicks (sorry wickes) new they last years and fill a barrel in about 10 seconds a 650l tank in less than 10 mins

I know this because I do exactly this myself
If the neighbours giving you one result

I use this hose from my sub pump to transfer to van

Good quality, does the job well, if a little on the expensive side

I bought 30 mtrs of 1" hose for £48:00 from local aquatics shop but i use i pond pump as a transfer pump works great i can fill my 400 ltr tank in less than 10 mins . Mike

Hi M&M
What is the rating of the pond pump?
I've got one it's rated at "1800 Litres per Hour"
But it's c**p
Takes forever to fill 250 ltr. tank
