Title: 2 man setup > nearly finished
Post by: Ryan @ Transparent, Carlisle on February 03, 2012, 09:08:17 pm
just a couple of leaks to sort out - extra PTFE tape, and a female endstop for 2nd hose reel :D

made some wooden brackets to hold brushes, poles, A-frames, onto the roofs, just need more pipe insulation to wrap round it and it's good to go.

the one on the left?

When i first got wfp, that was the way i had it installed in the van, by the person who i bought it off, who apparently knew what he was doing, but also installed the D.I before the pump... so it went tank - DI - pump

excuse my ignorance, but does it make a major difference if its the wrong way round?

cheers

The story goes that if the diaphram in the pump leaks then water will damage the important end of the pump , i have never heard of this happening , but who knows , and to add to that , i have got 2 streamboxes , the pumps are on their sides !
So ignore me , i am but a fool with a lager in hand  ;D
