398L a min
« on: February 29, 2024, 09:08:21 pm »
One thing that's always annoyed me is the time it takes to transfer water. So I decided to upgrade our setup.

External Pump, 2 inch hose and it will do 398L a min. Very short hose and gravity fed.

Should stop traffic jams at mine in the morning if a few vans turn up at the same time.

Wish I would have done it sooner. 650 Grippatank filled in less than 2 minutes now  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Which pump it be?

I’ve got a Clarke external pump and 1 inch hose, but it still takes 10 mins or so.

Never timed mine but with 2 inch hose it's less than 5 mins for 500l

Never mind this thread. Tell us about the non payer at the kids party.
We look at them, they look through them.
