Title: Remote control for your controller
Post by: VSP Home Care on December 16, 2011, 11:10:47 pm
Anyone use a remote fob to control their pump controller, if so I'd like to know your thoughts on them and any advice.

I've read a few complaints about them not working, although I suspect that was an installation problem.  I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere at the moment.  I thought you could adjust the flow remotely as well, rather than just on and off.

Anyone got a link to a site selling them?

I'll google that place, cheers Barry.

Cheers Steve, that answers a few of the questions then.  I suppose people are not stocking them if that's all they do, shame it's not fully controllable.   Something to work on I think  ;)

sorry they are actually called pure wash systems . they are a division of air force . there is nothing they dont sell for window cleaning . the shop is like an alladins cave . plus they will let you try anything out . tel no is 07825335790 that is the mobile number for rash. he is really hepfull and so is the ian who fits there systems and sorts your problems , really knows his stuff . some of there stuff can be a bit pricey , but you can tell him if it is cheaper elsewhere and  he will try match it . ;)

Thanks for the posts guys but I thought it was a little more than an on / off.  If you could also control the flow setting it would be worth having.

You could also speak to Mark AT Wintecs
We do produce a radio remote for the pump controller. It is supplied with the full coaxial cables remote fob and roof mount aerial.
The fob controls the water flow between 0 - 99 range is about 200 meters
