Got two 220 ones sorted already, for rain water harvesting, this is just so I don't have to constantly be worried about filling up every night, overflowing, etc. I do Jiu Jitsu or judo 4 nights a week so it'll just make life a bit easier.
If its the same as mine (1000L) , what I did was cut an'x' shape across the hole with a Stanley knife, push the pump through so the cuts let the plastic drop. They will flick back up once the pump is through
This is what I was hoping I would be able to do, but the base of the pump is just a tad wide. I ended up cutting a large rectangle at the top so it's a nice easy fit. As a temporary measure I'm using a rubber ladder standoff as a lid, but I have a few ideas for the future.
That's a good idea mate. Might have worked for me too. I ended up using my fein multi tool to cut a hole. It didn't make too much mess in the bottom, and cleaned out easy enough. I did it at the highest point of the container so that rubbish, sap, waste, etc doesn't wash down into the clean water.
Yes, I leave mine submerged. Been in there nearly 9 years now without a problem.
Nice one, hoped that would be the case. And top tip on the rinse.:thumbsup:
I've had that same problem. Had me puzzled the other day. My Mrs threw away the instructions before I gave them a glance. In the end I figured it out and had one hand in the water but pushing the switch down, and one hand ready on the plug to turn it on with a knee on the hose while I filled up barrels.
Nice, it's in the post. Should make life easier.
And who would argue against him.:thumbsup:
When you've fitted your nozzle make sure your transfer hose is attached firmly to your pump. I found that when I let go the trigger the sudden back pressure kept blowing the hose off the pump. Either a large jubilee clip or a couple of sturdy cable ties pulled nice and tight should do it.
You will possibly lose a few. Some just don't like change. Even had one claim a phobia with water. Had me running up n down ladders for some time after I switched. Then one day I saw her walking outside in the rain with a brolly looking quite calm and realised what a mug I'd been. I was determined not to fall for that one again.
Old biddies?
My changeover went surprisingly well but I'd only been tradding for a year before I switched.
Cheers mate, already got a nice big assortment box of jubilee clips, need to order a load of o clips for the pole today though...those little sods are expensive Eh.
A broad mix really. Got a minor complaint today where she said 'it doesn't clean as well.... it's even left my kids sun tan lotion hand prints on the double doors. She was right, so I just went back and tradded that. That was my own fault though as I should have looked at the glass before cleaning.
