    It works perfectly. However, while trying it on one of the big water butts, it seemed to work the tap loose so now the whole thing is gushing. I filled and emptied several watering cans, but am getting too hot and I have a work meeting. (This was supposed to be just a quick dash down the garden to try it out while wfh!) It's a 210l tank and full (of fetid water so there is no way I am even  going to cointemplate putting my naked arm down there even assuming it was long enough to reach the back of the tap, which I very much doubt that it is!). I have attached a length of hose and stuck it into the empty 200l water tank. Fingers crossed I don't waste too much. Otherwise it's a terrible  waste of water, especially given the near-drought situation. Can I just say, Arrrrgh! (And ironically I am editing a book on ecology!)
