Post by: heath verrall on October 26, 2013, 05:29:52 pm: just ordered ibc 1000ltr £40 + £20 delivery, bloke said it will be here in the morning.

Buy a pump.

For £50-ish, it will pay for itself in time saved within a week.

TDS is 015, my question is how long will this water stay at tds 015 ?
will the water go off in other words.

Maybe took ten minutes to fill up a 650 tank?
