hi, what about fixing the pump into concrete slab? will the pump not move otherwise due to vibrations?

Please use unions to connect the pipes to the pump. That way you can take the pump off for repair and easly fit a loan pump. So many idiots glue or crimp pipes in place and you have to cut the pipes off to work on the pump making it a much more expencive job.

Why is the outlet so high up the tank? That looks like a big chunk of unpumpable water. Wouldn't 100mm from the bottom be ok? Especially for a garden pump where it doesn't matter if sediments are pumped...

Great video, is that a 0.75kw pump?

Why use hard pipe? Can soft tune replace the hard pipe?

I am a house designer, do you have any wall truss braces on display in your show room, and for sale in your stores?

Heya, best check in with your local store regarding this :)

@@mitre10nz Thanks for fast repy, I design homes with timber Pryda wall truss braces or steel Gamma braces. To make a long story short, it would be helpful to me, my clients and builders if you had a steel Gamma brace on display in your show room, in store. Have a great day!
