please forgive my stupidness, is this all wired up using crimp connectors?

 

[WWC]

Dave_m141 I assume you mean the pump box. Personally, I use spade connectors a lot on jobs like this as you are often joining to spades on switches, components etc. The odd thing needs soldered depending on the bits you have.

Yes basically all with spade connectors.

 

[dave_m141]

Lovely, thanks chaps. . I'm going to wire the whole shabang including fuse and relay

 

[dave_m141]

all wired up and everything, do you reckon i will need an inline flow tap if i have bought this pump?

If you put a flow controller (pulse width modulator) in the box, then it will reduce the flow to whatever you need

 

[jimmyboots]

Yes. get a Tap mate, No point in wasting water.

I really don't know how people can do a days work WFP with no form of Tap

 

[dave_m141]

would that tap in the link be sufficient? only doing 10 houses max on a saturday with this. tops only

Not sure what link you mean mate but there are some on here to look at. Make sure you get the right fittings for your pole setup.

Not used a pushfit Tap before but that should work fine so long as you use 8mm hose

Thats excellent Beccs, really impressed. Now all you want is a reel /emoticons/smile.png

Thanks for this jimmyboots this was perfect for adding a reel on to my Pure freedom trolley

Used the smallest I could find (35mm) exhaust 'U' bolts from Halfords (30 mm would probably have been ideal) to fix to the bottom plate. And Some cable ties for the top (hoping to change this if I can come up with a better plan).

Seems to be nice & secure so far! Will see how it holds up to a few weeks work.

Thanks again for the idea

Nice one @Stu\. looks well :thumbsup:

Just so you know, it works really well with pole hose on the reel too.

 

[Gary63]

The barrel hose was much shorter than the pole hose so I had to swap them /emoticons/sad.png
It's all done now though /emoticons/smile.png

Tadaaaa!

Hi Beccy. Where did you get the trolley from ? You've done a great job

 

[Beccy]

The trolley was from Argos. Only downside is the wheels are quite small so it's rubbish on gravel.

Cheers for your reply. Just looking for a small trolley that collapses.

Have got a van WFP but there are times when a trolley system would be easier.
