Please recommend a submersible pump.

[Adams0211]

I'm in the process of buying everything I need to produce my own water. I need to buy a submersible pump so I can transfer water from an IBC to the tank in my van. I know precisely zero about submersible pumps. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly received.

Cheers. I was looking at that one. Any issue with it? And does it perform well?

it works with no problems at all, the only problem i have is the pipe is like having a fight with a shark lol, and the pump will not stand up in the tank, apart from that its good for the price,

I picked up that pump and hose yesterday. I'll make sure I keep the receipt and don't drag the hose

Hi mate I have to transfer water from my house to my van but the distance is around 20meters I have a sub pump from screwfix but it take forever to fill 600 litres through a hose pipe. Is there a better pump as I don't want to use a lay flat hose. It fills so fast with a lay flat but the pipe just leaks when I have to put it away as the floor rips small holes thanks John

I have a similar situation to you, Johnwindow1987. Roughly a 20 m drag from the back yard through the house and then a pavement to cross to the van parked by the side of the road. Rather than risk people going **** over on a garden hose I decided to go the hard core route and lug 25 l barrels.

Since I haven't started my business properly yet it remains to be seen how long before I'm fed up with that approach. I envy those of you who have your own driveway.

I use a Sip Sub Pump toolstation.com/shop/p12256 , The hose is easily stored I wedged mine down the side of my tank in the garden shed I use 30 metres of hose in total so I use the hose joiner they sell and just taped each join with electrical insulating tape as well and I use two 25L containers for extra water capacity .

I only have a 400L tank and it takes about 5 minutes I am always jobbing on so never check exactly how long it takes basically the bigger the transfer hose the faster the filling so just go for the largest diametre hose .

Think I'll go for the next size up and hope it works as it's really driving me mad with a hose it takes 2 hours just to fill it. But my old lay flat takes 5 10 mins but it has pin holes everywhere cheers
