i need a package from a decent supplier in case i get any problems , which i usually do. when i get used to van set up i can then try alternatives,

what alternative controller would you advise and why.

 
I placed my first purchase with cleaning spot this weekend used the discount code, itsgood for the forum and for me I suppose. Saved me a fiver- that's at least half a pint these days.:thumbsup:

 
is there much difference with the digital one
I have a mate with the MKII varistream & another mate with the analogue controller. As said, I have used a MKI varistream for a few years & it's been great. My mates MKII is a different beast & I don't like it, it behaves differently & many others on various forums have also reported the MKII as being troublesome. The analogue one is basic & simple (which is what you want) & also allows you to set specific & perfect/accurate values i.e. on a varistream you only have choices of say- 1, 2, 3 etc & many find they want something like 2.5- halfway between 2 & 3. The analogue controller has a "dial" which you turn & thus can dial in micro-adjustments. I believe the analogue controller to be a better option than a MKII Varistream, I've not heard a bad word about it yet./emoticons/wink.png Put it this way, even with umpteen years of an excellent experience with a MKI varistream I would not buy a MKII version.

 
on the cleaning spot, they recomend the pressure switch on the shurflo pump should be unplugged when using this varistream controller,

why is this how do you unplug it and why

what is the controller on the purefreedom pump controller package

 
Cleaning spot also sell the same analogue controller, it's called Variflo + V11 analogue & is red but it's the same as Gardiners just re-branded. They're all made by Spring Co./emoticons/wink.png

 
would i be best getting this controller and adding it to my shurflo 5l pump. instead of the Varistream in the package they have.

is there anything else i should get apart from the items ive said above, should i get the 110Amp leisure battery from them as well, or get one local incase i get any problems.

 
Myself I would just go for that purefreedom one as all you have to do it connect the hoses and battery and away you go. The backplate can be mounted permanently or setup to be quick realese so can be brought indoors to protect it from frost if you wanted. The other option it can be easily mounted in a box too if you preferred so you end up with a pump box that would go on a trolley or boot of a car etc by just adding a smaller battery.

 
i,m using both the purefreedom & the varistream pump controller and the purefreedom has been spot on never failed once

the varistream is not as good

they both use shurflo pumps

 
ive got battery + charger in my ebay basket, just need to sort this out now, whats the controller on the purefreedom package, is it the varistream or the variflo+11
