Re: Test pump
you fill it with water connect the hose onto pipework, pump handle to 1.5 x normal working pressure then leave for a bit and check for drop in pressure. probably worth buying if cheap enough new they go for about a ton.
alternatively you could cobble together an air test pump from a footpump and a tyre valve
