[QUOTE="Anolphart, post: 438202, member: 11434"] I was going to cut the inlet hose to 2m and 3m lengths with the ability to join them if needed. I will do the same for the pressure hose at 20m and 10m. I'm still undecided whether to use camlocks or threaded fittings. If I fit camlocks, I will have to unthread the one on the pump every time I want to stow it in the toolbox on the caravan which would be butt painful. The poly nut and tail fittings come off anyway so that wouldn't be an issue. I'm uncertain about the durability of one over the other, and as there's bugger all difference in the price it really is a choice of which would suit me better. The options suggested of creating a strainer are great and I will do something to minimise the erosive effects of the sand. Without physically seeing a foot valve, how can I tell whether it's spring loaded or not? This is the type that I was thinking of...
