Title: Lidl pump update
Post by: colin purewater on March 21, 2012, 03:47:04 pm

And it works a treat  :)

My psi has gone from 38 psi
To a whopping   77 psi with this £50 pump !

Also Tds from my merlin has gone from 31 to 16 before Di


Money well spent I think  ;D

The only down side is with the extra pressure
I have a little leak but I will hunt for that the weekend!!

I managed to get the fitting from a local plumbers merchant
That we're £8 a 1 inch screw thread down to half inch male hose tail

So £58 all in all and the pump will do as a transfer pump eh I get an ibc

Many thanks Colin

Yeman it's a transfer pump but it also works booster,
Don't ask me how but it's just what it said on the box
 (increases mains water pressure )
