Pumps that can clear very shallow water are called”puddle pumps”. These can start in 10mm of water and can keep clearing water down to 1mm or less…

Here is an example: https://www.toolstation.com/einhell-dir ... -ll/p42877
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

(Artist formally known as ******, well it should be obvious enough to those for whom such things are important.)

Was at a Harvey's Brewery tour a couple of months ago. Was thinking of plugging in, only to find it's limited to an hour.

A few of my photos from Lewes last night, after being bombarded with bangers and firecrackers for many hours.

Some pictures from the many fire torch parades.

Even Darth Vader turned up.

A good old bonfire from the Commercial Square bonfire society.

Commercial Square bonfire society firework display.

The aftermath of one of the firework societies prayer meetings, happens after most tourists have gone home with an insane amount of bangers and firecrackers let off in the middle of the street.

Nice!

Looking at all the smoke I suspect my asthma would not withstand a night there and I would probably be on my way to A&E quite early on :cry: oh well, videos and photos will have to suffice for me.
