First there is no return line, secondly he has a 200ltr drum and sticks the suction half way down so you only effectively use 100 ltrs ? Then you have to empty it at the end of the job ! I'll stick to my wheely bin

Hit the nail on the head right there!

A filter is fitted to the end of the internal piping

;)

Doesn't matter where that fitting goes so long as there's a follow on tube with a strainer dropping down to the bottom.

I bought a drum for £20, grinded out a flap on the top, drilled holes and fit the connectors and float valve. £30 spent.
