Pumping river water

[The Ruminant]

A perfect example of how the forum should work...

One simple question, a few constructive comments (no nonsense - well almost and no barracking) and a great outcome for the OP,

Plus a reference of a useful contact for others to use in the future.

Good luck with your project Tom and don`t forget the back up plan for when the river dries up!

Naturally the best laid plans etc etc...... the 32mm pipe wouldn’t fit through the home-made mole plough/pipe layer I’d borrowed (despite being assured it would, before I bought the pipe!!)
I now have some 25mm on order and am sitting, twiddling my thumbs in hot sunlight (and posting on here) waiting for them to deliver. Several hours wasted.

Oh that is so annoying!
I've laid most of my new pipe work as 25mm..... and now wish I had spent the extra 50% to put down 32mm
