On the Varistream controller underneath it will say two wires go to the pump and two wires go to the battery supply,the hose from the tank goes to the pump and the hose coming from the pump will go to the hose reel ;)

Really is that straighforward.
But to put it in separate lines:
Pipe from tank to pump.
Pipe from pump to hose reel.

Then for the electrical side your controller has 4 wires as stated, positive and negative to your power source/battery, and 2 that connect to the pump.

Add brush to hose reel, apply to windows, and get to work! :D

Simples  ;)  No pix or diagrams to show, sorry!

Put your pump as low as you can to avoid air lock problems.

the only thing you may have problems with, is that B&Q and other big diy shop dont always have the fitting for the 11/4 outlet on the tank.

Pump controller = waste of time and money. Just buy a couple of microswitches for a few quid.
