Hi , I have a 1000l IBC doing nothing so thought I might use it for ato container (overkill I know )
Problem is my ato pump has a head room of about 1metre.
Is it possible to buy a bigger pump and put the correct adaptor on the power cord to plug into my ato ?
 
Probably. What kind of ATO are you using?
 
There isn’t any useful info on the website. Sorry, can’t help.
 
ok no probs ill take it down the local eletrial shop and see what they say
 
Look at the pump you're running now. If it's a 120v pump, just get a bigger 120v pump.
 
Hi,
Not sure if its going to be easy to find a pump with the same fitting though
