I Am Such A Idiot, Dont Laught....:)

[koopmaster]

So I installed my wfp system into the van at the beginning of the week and had a old car battery sitting in the house for months, so i charged it for a hour and feeling very proud of myself I connected it up to the digital controller.

Nothing...

so I thought ohh well its the battery, I know its buggered so I went on ebay and bought a new one.

But being impatience I decided to charge the stuffed battery all night and before going to work this morning I connected the 2 wires to the battery and .... Nothing.... no lights or movement from the pump or controller...

So I thought well... what if I push the button on the controller... and IT WORKS... Somewhere they could have at least told me on the instructions that the button that looked like the enter button was actually the bloody ON SWITCH....

so after laughing at myself I an now very chuffed and feel a bit stupid but wiser.

have a fun day....

LOL at least it wasn't anything bad! We all do these silly little things. At times I get to a job pull hose out put pole up turn tap on an nothing, then I realize that I didn't turn it on! So it's just one of those things!

 

[koopmaster]

Yup, its a learning curve, hopefully someone ready this and remembers to push the button, LOL

 

[rcproperty]

It's like trying to watch tv without pressing to on button! Lol

I did something similar. I had it all wired it up but it wouldnt come on so I though. I must have to wres wrong way round. so re-wired them. Bang! Fuse blows right next to me. What a fright I got.

heres some photos, I still need to put the wiring into a pipe and I moved the battery to behind me and I will get a switch in the near future. Also got the solar panel tonight so I have hooked it up.

All ready to go this weekend. 60 cleans....

Thats pretty cool. Am I right in thinking the pump should be the other way round though?

 

[rcproperty]

Looking good but would turn the pump the other way up so if it leaks at the connections it don't go into the electrics of the motor

 

[koopmaster]

thanks, its quiet handy having so much help on hand. I will turn it around tomorrow.

I laughed before I opene the thread as you wrote "laught"... made me chuckle.

But yeah I've done similar things where just bought stuff cause I guessed that was the cause.

What van is that and what size tank you got

 

[Squeak and Bubbles]

U should get a cage fitted and bolted over that tank dude. Your driving might be good, but it's the other idiots on the road!
