Ideally wanting one this weekend.

So my options are....

Homebase
Wickes
Screwfix
B&Q
Argos

The above seems to my best bet...........

Not worried on fill time, we use 1/2 inch now, just wondered if fittings were there. Looks like it.

Looks generically the same pump that I have bought from Screwfix, although with a different brand name.
Im on my second one in 4 years.
I use 1 1/4" transfer hose with mine.
I use this type of pump because I know if it fails I can easily just go and buy another within the hour.  ;)

It is in my local one.  Just was looking at them last night. Worth actually checking in your local, they were on special buy about 3 weeks ago so might be some still lurking on the shelves.

If it stops working they will not replace it poor quality pump go to machine mart get a sewage pump around £250. Had mine 4 years went through 4 screw fix pumps total waste of money.

It's got a year warranty so that's fine for me.
