    No water anywhere when I got up this morning. We have a 2kgal header tank for parlour so was able to milk. Couldn't get any reply from the guy who does the pumps here so we hauled up the sub ourselves (all 300 foot of pipe) to see what the story was. Inlet completely clogged with iron sediment. Half an hour cleaning inlet holes with a couple of bits of wire and we're back in business:cool:. Saved a nice bit for a Sat callout. I thought it was going to make a complete gangf**k of the day so pleased enough with how it worked out.

    we had to lift ours last year too, amazed the amount of stuff blocking it..... did you lift it before, was the pump cutting out leading up to this?
