Blocked water inlet

Okay, let's get rid of the blockage. Take something long and thin (a straightened wire clothes hanger?) and

poke it gently down the plastic tube and out into the river. You'll be able to feel when it's pushed the blockage

out. Do it twice -- just to be sure! When it all feels clear, pull out your poking tool.

Next, unscrew the hose-clamp on the clear hose and remove it. Re-fit the

black hose and tighten its hose-clamp.

Now, before you open the stop-cock to let the water flow again, look at the

weed-trap. It’s empty.

So, take the top off the weed-trap and completely fill it with water. Put the top

back on the weed-trap

flow in the weed-trap and that there are no leaks.

Job done!
