[QUOTE="MikeB05, post: 240945, member: 7270"] Thanks Greencheeks 77........the video worked fine. Great work on this build. Again I am impressed I am not very mechanical so I am inferring that the internal rubber flap opens upward when the pump handle is pulled up (pulling in gravel etc and water) and closes when the handle is pushed down...thereby sending the water/dirt/sand/gravel along the pipe into the holding bucket. Three questions if I may... 1) is the rubber flap backed with something that's rigid ( to stop the flap flexing and content being pushed back out the inlet sucker on the downward stroke of the pump) ? 2) how did you make the flap hinge ? 3) Is the main body of the pump made from 90mm stormwater pipe or 100mm sewer grade pipe? thanks again, really appreciate your time and help on this.
