Flow Control

[TobySampson]

Hi all,

I have this controler

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=160987828688&index=6&nav=SEARCH&nid=37938668597

The problem I have is that it doesn't have an auto switch off when you stop the water so what I find happens is the hoses pop off and the water just carries on flowing.

Is there a way to shut off the pump with this controler when I'm not using water so I can save more water?

i make the same ones as that guy does,

what pump have you got? if shurflo then it needs the pressure switch connecting back up on the bottom of the pump,

 

[TobySampson]

I've got the shurflo one... How do you do that?

That's great! Thanks... Where's the best place to get one?

 

[rcproperty]

get what? a pressure switch? hasnt you pump already got one on? most come with them on, but not always connected

 

[TobySampson]

Oh ok... I just went out and had a look, need to get some of them white/clear connectors now. Thanks rc

no problem, its very easy to do. dont have to be white, maplin or halfords do red and blue ones like the ones on the controller itself.

 

[TobySampson]

Just so I'm sure, once I do this I can fit a tap and when the pressure builds up the pump will turn off?

Yer it should do, I use a controller like that and that's how I have my pumps wired up and they work fine.

 

[TobySampson]

perfect, thank you
