Water pump adaptor

blade1 · 2019-03-25 11:03:46

Picked up a water pump in Lidl yesterday. I want to connect a garden hose to the outlet. I seems to be 30mm, is there an adaptor I can get for it or how do I go about it?

Bring it to your local plumbing shop

You often get a fitting like this with those pumps https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pisces-1-25-BSP-male-Multistage/dp/B007Q11IT8 but as above a plumb shop will sort you out with a reducer that you can screw a standard 1/2inch hose fitting on.

Thanks lads I just ran into the local hardware there and this is all they had that would fit pump+ hose connector.
Worth a shot for €2.
I'll see if it does the job when I get home.

That done the job.
Put a couple of o-rings and plumbers tape on it and so far it's watertight.
