Choosing a spare backpack

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

I would honestly just get amother Water Genie backpack as they have a no quibble 12 month warranty amd chem resistant seals.

I already have 2 one for water one as chem dispenser.

Good luck.

I have a spare backpack pump and battery connected up with charger port..fuse..switchNot in a backpack but still connected up and working

I'll dig it out the shed tomorrow and take a pic so you can see all the wiring

cheers :thumbsup:

Search jimmyboots thread "homemade alternative to backpack "Shows how to wire it all up on there

just says wire pump to battery nothing about how to wire switch.

I will be home in about an hour and will dig it out

It is connected with proper connectors but you can use the old chocblocks

 

[Dave B]

This looks complicated but just follow the red and follow the yellow imagining there are no connectors in the equation

The yellow is negative so stick the switch somewhere in the negative sidebof the circuit and job done

The pwm goes between the whole lot (where the yellow and white connectors meet so just connect it in the circuit live to live and negative to negative if you have one

thats got me beat. ive only got 4 wires 2 from pump red & black & 2 from switch. i probably pulled others off when taking pump out. /emoticons/sad.png

Can you post a picture of the bits you need to connect up? Do you have any controller?

The simplest setup without a controller, would have a fuse closest to the battery in the positive wire then the switch, then the motor (red). The negative wire would connect straight to the motor (black).

If you have some form of controller this would normally be between the switch and the motor I believe.

no controller.

The switch can actually go anywhere in the positive or negative wire

All it does is break the circuit

red & black from pump other 2 from switch & a fuse thingy.

 

[Marko067]

Connect the fuse to the red terminal on the battery and the other end the the red wire from the pump.

Connect the black wire from the pump to the blue wire.

Connect the green/yellow wire to the black terminal on the battery. That will have the switch in the negative side but as has been pointed out it doesn't really matter which side it's in as its only breaking the circuit.

Make sure all your connections are solid and can't short on anything else
