ian. i bought a pump from b&q for a while just to get me moving. it was £30 and done the job but after a while the plastic case split. i now have the clarke one which you know of and i would say the production is twice as quick and faultless. I guess it would be the same as most things. you get what you pay for. i'm sure that pump will do the trick but to what degree who knows?

cheers Steve for the reply, nat also

I just moved and im bleeding money at the mo, hence looking for cheaper option, but if it does not cut it am going to have to go the clarke £250 route :'(

has to be ordered in the morning either way, so please anyone please comment on experience.

same as I had, was spraying water same day out of the inline casing and the outlet, but I figured for the rprice I should have not expected more.

maybe go get one for this week and order a clarke one so I can carry on

I have a similar model from the same supplier. I'm very pleased with it. It fills my 650 litre tank up in roughly 2 and half hours.
