It is battery and came with a battery Recharging kit. Fab bit of kit.[attachment=4206]
I usually run a hose from the water butt and water into sunk milk containers. Obviously it took ages but this kit is brilliant.
I thought I could just pump the water from the tanks into my Water butts when they became empty.
