at the time that was to stop the inlet pipework shooting off from a 6000 LPH pump until the self almalgamating tape that i ordered from online turned up, which has was replaced after a few days i needed to get the pond up and running fairly quick so was just a temporary job till the tape arrived

(Norman, the bed of mortar is quite thick, but its ok its because there ware 2 walls, (internal concrete block and external finished brick and the level between the 2 was out slightly. still you live and learn for the next pool i do)

Colin mate, stop making excuses I have the same filter as you, I`m sure Hozelock designed it to need "extra" tape.



my ponds 3000ltrs and it`s not big enough for fish, your overstocked - nevermind your pumps not matched to the filter .......... back to school for you.
