    I hope my mate over at Wrecclesham don't hear you using the name Wimbledon when talking about your grass as they supply the top soil dressing for Wimbledon so they may sue you for taking the Wimbledon name in vain lol

    Had to strim the grass as it went a bit ballistic while we were away and it was a bit too damp to mow.

    Lol, you are hoping I’d say I’d had a leak eh? Bigcarpchaser finally gets his bum into gear!Bigcarpchaser finally gets his bum into gear!
    Just had mega heart failure though, there’s a seriously spooky optical illusion that makes the reflection of the coping stones look the the top of the water...which is fine...but it looks like it’s dropped a foot...had to run out in the garden to make sure...twice!!!
    Have to stop looking now as I can’t take the stress lol

    It was 21k litres the first time I filled it up including the filters. Currently on 18k but the bio chamber was already full.
    Is about 3.8x3.8x1.5 ish deep with the corner cut off about 2x2.
    Water pressure is dreadful today so it’s taking an age. Another hour or so and it should be full.

    Lol...misread the gauge 16.5k...unless it’s reset itself or going backwards. Might have a bit less than before but still not bad.

    45 tonnes is “a lot” Bigcarpchaser finally gets his bum into gear!

    Don’t do it twice

    Full up at last , around 17k litres give or take.
    Bit of an air lock on main pump but sorted that eventually, same on drum pressure pump, got knackered so leave that until tomorrow.
    Need a new 4” boot to reconnect shower do that will have to wait until tomorrow as well.

    It hasn’t broken yet Bigcarpchaser finally gets his bum into gear!
