Nice one Dazmond, use the bits from your old system to make a back up.

Use a sturdy storage container like the ones from the really useful box company and start fixing them in a similar way to your streamline box

Well done mate. You're up and running.

Strange how we both had exactly the same problem with cleaning spot. Mine was supposed to be next day delivery but took 8 days. It's not a good advert for them.

Dazmond you alrady had a back up. Battery and pump.
All you need is a switch and put a fuse between battery and pump.
Also use one of those 1/2 inch pipe valves (that cost around a fiver) between the water tank and pump the regulate flow.

I stopped using the 1st varistream because the flow varied depending on the time of day and the time of year.
I originally had a teeny doubt about blowing the flojet but never yet blown a fuse. I also got 4 years out of a 90amp leisure battery getting charged weekly most times.

Tank > pump > battery is very simple.

I've read other people (who's opinions i take on board) on here who have done the same but are now using a flow controller and they say it is better than without. I believe them but i'm happy without.

All for future reference of course.  ;D
