Title: Tarnsfer pumps in 1000L tanks
Post by: Big Dave @ CWC on May 10, 2009, 12:42:14 pm
Anyone know if the blue flojet transfer pump in "griggs" fits straight through the opening at the top of the 1000L tank,

or a pump that does fit.

im not keen on cutting the opening just to fit it as its gonna be near impossible to stop the bits dropping inside as i cut. and the tank always need water in it so there isnt time to drain it to hoover it out after then fill it again.

any ideas folks ???

I taped up inside the tank when I cut my open.

taped inside and also had the sticky side facing up. I have been using it all the time with no problems, I do have filter before my pumps in vans though
