wanting to fit a remote device to my pump any ideas or recommendations , so i can turn pump off when away from pickup
-
whats wrong with just a tap on your hose, the pump pressure switch will cut it off.

I saw some on e bay for sale.

i am using the KR80 pump pack , i dont think there is a pressure switch fitted , when i used to use my PF trolley it would never cut out , the pressure would just back up , thats what is happening with my current pump pack when i turn the tap off on hose ,
Thats why i thought a remote would be my best bet ,
any contact details for jeff brimbles, thanks mike

the KRS80 is fitted with an automatic pressure switch but it is not cutting out , surely it should but even if it did overtime it will become damaged surely , MIKE

the pressure switch should cut out the pump as soon as triggered, there will be no damage if the switch is working properly.

Thanks MIKE.

really not sure what to do , will contact seller to discuss

There is a radio remote pump control available That would achieve what you are looking for.

I bought a remote switch that goes on the + wire from the battery. I've drilled a hole through the roof of the van and attached the sensor to the roof rack.
To me that seems a lot easier to cut the current than do whatever with the pump or am I missing the point somewhere?

Contacted supplier today and explained the pump was not cutting out so he is sending a replacement pressure switch via first class post ,
Very helpful and friendly chap at www.johnhewitt.com/wc.htm

I bought this; sorry mate i have not fitted it yet to my freedom trolley, so can't say if it's a waste of money.

I have remote on mine, thru Fleabay bout £20 3 or 4 years ago, great piece of kit bout 100 meter range.
easy to wire up, I run it along with a varisteam, works great, saves water loads, but I reckon a trigger would save even more!
Just google 'remote control switch'
this one is ebay USA but same unit as I use;

ive used a remote on the pf trolley for a good few years now you will need a extra antenna to improve signal but otherwise they work well, my mrs uses the trolley theses days she hasn't found any issues i also used same set up on a backpack also worked well again antenna needed, make sure its correct frequency or it will suffer you will find what you need here forget ebay use this http://www.simplesolutions-uk.com/catalog
