Water barrel entry cover

Bought a new water hog 51 litre barrel, and the rubber on the pump hose to cover the part for entering the pump was too small, and couldn't cover the entry hole.
That meant that dirt and nasties could get in. I bought a small size sink plunger in Wilkos for £1, and cut a hole, large enough to sit on top of the barrel, and allow the pump to pass through into the water.
Keep the original rubber on the hose, and it will sit on top of the rubber plunger, and will the keep the dirt out.
