Univalve is available for £39 on ebay - including the ebay charges being covered... £45??? - Manufacturers often mark stuff up higher than their bulk buying customers - they don't want the hassle of selling to the public but will do it for a few extra quid. This way they can shift stuff in bulk to their own wholesale customers (while making them look cheaper - helping them shift stock) who will buy loads with no hassle vs selling to hundreds / thousands of customers who might ring up with tech support questions, warranty woes etc. Hornby do the same with their model railway stuff - they will sell it direct to the public but at a far higher price than their wholesale customers. Going back to the univalve that £39 ebay fee includes postage and ebay fees. I also saw it on another site for £32 (no idea about postage) - think it was window cleaning warehouse?As for the WFP link, some might like, others mignt not. You're not obliged to have one but if you do then you can still use it in conjunction with a univalve and have the best of both worlds - variable speed and instant flow / cutoff. I'll agree though that i've noticed a high pressure spurt of water when turning on the flow again via the valve but at the same time it's momentary and the pump isn't running - only kicking back in once it detects that there's no dead end again. Remember also with springs WFP Link you can also adjust the DE retest time - meaning that the high pressure spurt might not even cause the pump to start up again for several seconds.What i would say about the WFP Link though is that there is a MASSIVE security whole with them. ANYONE can scan and connect to your remote. Your remote is live 24/7 and the controller is also in passive mode listening for an on / off command (in other words it's never truly off - it just turns off the display and the ability to send signals to the pump). With this in mind, if your competitors aren't eh friendly sort and want to screw you up, they could potentially in the middle of the night, pull up, connect to your fob (if it's in the van), turn it on and try to pump out your tank for you - flooding your van if you've got no valve to stop it or draining your leisure battery for the next days work instead. While it's unlikely to happen it is an attack vector that is wide open to abuse. Spring will suggest that the fob has to be paired to the controller - and they're right but that's no good if absolutely anyone can connect to the fob as it still provides a way into your controller directly.
