the mains passed the steading but we arent connected and trying to avoid it. theres plenty water, its never stopped in living memory. using 10-15m3 a day. its the filter getting choked with grasses or other rubbish, or the inlet to the filter bx getting blocked by gravel after a lot of heavy rain. doesnt happen often, but when it does its a pain in the behind getting the air out the pipe.

What about the buffer tank idea then? If that's close to home you can easily control/monitor the level.

I need some sort of device that will alert me one way or another to our farm water tank dropping below 50%. Gallagher ( the fencing people) sell a system in NZ that looks good but can't find it in UK. Tank is approx 1500m away, no mobile signal at tank end.

Anyone point me to a UK supplier of something?
just order from nz

Old stainless steel washing machine drum makes a good filter.
