replace the hosepipe with something bigger, Std hosepipe is 15mm outside diameter, 10/11mm inside, even that short length will present significant resistance to water flow as its not presurised-resulting in long fill periods, ive got 5 water butts feeding two IBC's all connected, had to change...

If the hole is now 3" deep then the rot has allready started, Birch is structually a softwood and your probably looking at an expanding 4"-12" area of decayed non structural wood under the 3" hole, nothing you do now will strengthen or repair it, sadly from your reported height of the hole a...

Ive got several fittings from different makes, most work together but not all, yes the brass style fittings do seem to work better/longer, I found the biggest problem being the 'O' ring on the male ends degrading, some are silicon, some are more plastic based & flatten easily, resulting in a 'no...

Harry, thanks for correcting me, brain not in gear( it was a bit early for me), I just remember the OP saying the supply cables seemed to go from 1 to the other, but no that draw probably wouldn't discolour the FCU even if it was on 24/7, I've looked in mine (which isnt currently opperational) &...
