[alanwilson]

flow rate?

[elite mike]

360 gallons per hour

[alanwilson]

thats 27ltrs a minute - thats really slow mate.

[darragh windows]

there is ones with a higher flow rate

[Jeff Brimble]

I have used them for watering hanging baskets, 27 litres per min is OK I now use Dual pumps bigger pumps cause I was moving 400 litres per day.

Would you buy a pump if it was bilge?

 

[elite mike]

sorry for slow reply

the pumps are small and will fit any where

you will not have to cut into ibcs to get them in

they will plug into your cigr lighter connection or battery

it is just a cheap alternative

[alanwilson]

or you just buy an IBC with a 8.5inch opening, then you don't need to cut it plus you can use a faster pump.

240ltr/min

hi alan

ibc at smiths of the dean 1000ltr £130 +vat+del

as to £13.99 inc del inc 3 year warranty

which will drop into any tank opening

it may well be slow, but its cheap and it works 

you can pay more for a faster flow  rate..

but my point was to inform members there is a cheaper alternative

[steven ainger]

might also be handy to drop in you van tank if you wanted to top up a backpack.

hi steve

wish i had said that

[alanwilson]

mike - why would you buy from smiths of the dean?  Thats a rip off mate at those prices.

have a look on ebay, a lot of IBC dealers sell on there, give them a ring and tell them you want a tank with the larger lid (8.5 inch), thee's loads of them.

I've priced tanks from smiths of the dean before and they are rip offs.

hi alan

cannot tell though

just used smiths as an example
