:lol: I just hope it holds enough water
It takes some time for it to run through the pump bath and back to the sump so have to put quite a bit in the sump
I could always get a tow a long water bowser i suppose :?

Sir, as an avid reader of your publication, I am somewhat surprised. Yours eagerly, a smith, pendlesham.

Rather than towing a bowser, surely a rainwater harvesting contraption would carry better environmental credentials? Or maybe a direct water supply to the tank for the canniness who are fortunate enough to have an outside tap?

i will see how it develops the AW 2000 has one of these baths from Australia in without the tank
Image
and in the sump i have placed a 5l container filled with water so it dosnt use as much
bit of messing with the 3000 and it should be ok make the sump smaller with a few bricks :P and keep the water level the same it holds adout 50 l more water than the 2000 bit sh*t though as its got 5 to do on its first day and that is the limit of the 2000

Mmm, sounds good. What about a wheelie water carrier on board for busy days? It needn't be full, just use at the nicer clientele?

Is it finished yet BJT?

You told me I can go home when it's done, only it's very dark under your stairs, and by the temperature today I'm guessing summer is close.
