Thanks.

Thanks.
My hose is about 10m too and I empty half of my Rio 125 in 7 minutes.
All depends if the diameter of the hose can handle the flow, but a higher pump most likely will improve the speeds, I just use normal garden hose. Similar to this:aaronnorth said:so i would need about 500l pump which would empty my 180l in about <15mins.
what type of hose do you use?
always a pleasure, as I said, if it helps just one person.......LondonDragon said:Nice one Simonthanks for sharing

This looks like just what I need, any idea what I should be searching for? I found the site but couldn't find the shower head converter.simondoherty1 said:No plumber required:

This is what I was planning on doing, though I want to be able to connect it to the shower rather than a mixer tap.mr. luke said:i have a similar method, that cost about £10 maybe less.
-hose in tank at height you want the water to go down too.
-suck the oposite end
-chuck it down the drain
-watch the tv for a bit
-stick in your decholrinator and add wqater of a similar temperature from a mixer tap, so wimilar process, without all the y connectors and pumps though![]()
