yeah I have seen the strainers on eBay for shurflo but the inlet outlet on these pumps are only 8mm i.d so filters will not fit as they are 1/2" ?

 

[HALTON]

Have a link to pumps you use

Cheers

@HALTON i use a simple 12v voltage regulator as a controller

12V-40V 10A Pulse Width Modulator PWM DC Motor Speed Control Switch 13KHz Hot

the pump i use is

12V DC 100PSI 4L/MIN HIGH PRESSURE DIAPHRAGM WATER PUMP FOR RV CARAVAN BOAT UK

80m of 6mm microbore at the minute, to be honest i never use the controller as i find full flow perfect with this pump

 

[adamangler]

if you wanted to make a controller with digital display then you could get this

DC 6-30V 12V 24V Max 8A Motor PWM Speed Controller With Digital Display & Switch

and use an electric box to mount it in

Cheers it says 10 mm barb is this correct or will normal garden hose go on to the barbs?

Thanks

 

[adamangler]

its 10mm barb.

I had to put a piece of 8mm tube on first (about an inch length) then garden hose over the top with a circlip. i believe hose pipe is 13mm ?

 

[HALTON]

Just been looking can always get a 8mm to 13mm plastic reducer and connect to hose.

Will see what happens when shurflo arrives .

But ideal for a back up

U can get a inline strainer. From most suppliers. Also with the controllers wu it not be best to fit a inline fuse holder. Only cost like extra 5 pound which includes plastic box and wiring an fuse holder

As far as I am aware you would not need a inline fuse as the controller has a fuse built in
