was on a job with a mate of mine who used one years and years ago was a 8 bed with full underfloor heating downstairs and rads up and in the loft he was amazed by it I didn't take much notice as I was rodding the pigging drains after the tiler had washed his buckets out the previous day and blocked them!

Hi there you thinking of getting electric test pump in for the big job

Ok thanks not a big job just houses new build 5 a week , as I had my hand pump pinched last week

just get a decent hand pump and a coil of plastic connected to a cold main. fill up on the cold main, isolate and then pump up with the pump test and then flush and drain. should only take 2-3mins to pump up. quicker than an electric one imo and you dont need any power and alot of cash. leave a gauge on the test and remove the test pump and put it away so it cant get nicked.

and not having to worry about it getting nicked(the electric tester) while you lagg and trac tape up helps too.
