its the pump

a pump filter (stops anything that has fallen into the barrel getting sucked up into the pump, it does happen, you will be surprised)

a flow regulator, its that lever, it just sends some of the water back into the pump, thus turning the flow down

a fuse

thats it ;)

i must admit, even though people see me as the DIY bloke, i took advice and help of both Philip and Jeff (who both post here) and i know Jeff posts on the DIY forum aswell
They both did it B4 me, Jeff years B4 me :)

I have just "sung the DIY song" to help others :), as i cannot see why people would want to pay "big money" for a system that does the same job :)

To a point i would agree, but you have to remember some companys have more than one van on the road and have to work on a bigger scale and going cheap with not have a tryed and trusted system that feed many vans that could brack down and cost a hell of a lot of money in down time.
