The tank is about two / three metres above the height of the boiler. Which is located some distance away. The pipe is copper, fed through tough green plastic. And its buried underground for the most part after the first mtr. I could squeeze it off, but the rest looks tricky.

That sounds like a good idea. I've got around 600L in there at present. I'm confident down to 200. I'll start saving jerry cans. Fitting another filter sounds sensible too. Where's the best place to buy it ?
