Water problem

[Mur Huwcun]

Either blow us or create a vacuum down the bottom to draw some water through? Even a hand pump could get things going. I even connected the centrifugal booster pump direct to pipe to draw water through to get things going in desperation when I kind of disturbed the dam pipe with the digger..... long story!!!

Come to think about it I have a new 12 volt fuel transfer pump I bought and haven’t used yet could it work?

You'll need something a bit bigger than that I think
Most local hire firms would have a petrol engine driven 2" water pump for not stupid money to hire for a weekend.

Not enough pressure from it unfortunately

Just let it flow continuous overnight without any restriction on the end of the pipe direct into a drain. Its surprising how quickly flowing water can clean a pipe even just using gravity.
