I've just bought a mud sucker, runs off the pressure washer and has no moving parts. 65 quid. I haven't used it yet but the online videos look good.

Have had a couple of submersible pumps for silage effluent & dirty water from this company. Think I rang them & explained requirements & they recommended a suitable pump
Been fine bit more robust than some of the elcheapo ones
Will have a look & see if I can find the details later

these are awesome and will surprise you how much water they move. They do tend to pick up stones etc out of drain sumps and block though.

Found it.
called these guys, seem fairly knowledgable about pumps! Ordered one, not crazy expensive but we will see when it’s working how expensive it is!!! Got one with a tungsten cutter at the bottom fingers crossed it can handle a bit of silage 🤞🤞🤞 thanks guys, once again pays to seek advice on here! 👍👍👍👍
