Title: Pump and controller choice
Post by: VSP Home Care on December 30, 2011, 09:53:10 pm
I'm thinking of putting together another trolley system as I have a friend working with me soon.  I currently use a shurflow 100psi and varistream controller but whilst window shopping on the Gardiners site I've been looking at the Flojet pump and the liquid logic controller.

So what combo would you go for and why?

Get a vyair pump, they are a lot cheaper, the controllers are all the same just have the company's name on the front, so get it the cheapest place you can.

Wow! You seen the price?

Worth having as a spare!

Yeah, I got a Vyair and its a good pump. Got it as a backup for my Shurflo, but been running with it since I trialed it with my system, it's quieter than the Shurflo too. The other thing is that I run 65m of 6mm micro. hose and my Varistream only works at the top end of its flow settings, had it all checked by manufacturer and they said nothing wrong with the pump. Anyways, got fed up so bought a Liquid Logic, works on any setting.... sorted ;D

That's the same pump as a Liquid Logic, it just hasn't got Gardiner written on it. Good controller
