bought a pump board from cleaning warehouse wolverhampton looks a great bit of kit and came really quick. might be a stupid question but the strainer is on the left of pump and inlet on the right of pump can i reverse this without effecting the pump. hope this makes sense
-
the strainer has to be on the inlet side to catch dirt before it enters pump
-
cheers bob but what i mean is can move the strainer to the other side the pump, just to make it easier to connect to the tank.
-
Confused.....the strainer needs to be on the other side (inlet side) anyway.
Its meant to stop rubbish going into your pump so pretty pointless after the pump.....?
-
YEAH IM STARTING TO GET CONFUSED ;D ;D
i notice you live in Dudley,why not take it back to them as they are in Wolverhampton and ask and get a definitive answer
-
said it might be stupid question lol. what im trying to say i suppose is can i run the water from tank either side of pump or must it go one side or the other. so there just one inlet and one outlet and you cant swop them about.
-
Oooohh :)
Water will only draw from the inlet mate. You want it to be : tank - strainer - pump (inlet)
-
thats it thanks guys i got there in the end lol
-
Have you got alink to the pumpboard?

is that all you get a pump and controller on a piece of metal.
my varistream and shurflo where £140.
-
got the strainer aswell about 11 quid. i know would be cheaper to buy separate but wanted one ready to go. and straight to work.

I like the look of it. It isn't scarey at all.

you've got to be kidding me £199 for that lol so effectively you are paying about £40+ for a panel

No. The £40 also includes connecting it, so if like me you are a liitle afraid of screwing up something like this, then £40 seems a relatively small fee. You wouldn't believe it though. Someone paid me £45 to clean their windows today. They could have done it themselves for nothing!
-
thats the way i look at it steve how many windows can you clean while you faffing about getting connectors etc from the diy. then connecting it up. but i must admit i am not the most handy person. each to there own i suppose.
-
Totally pikeman thats why i got a Streambox plus you get to disconnect and take it in the house in subzero temps unlike bolted in van mount systems . Mike
-
yes mike makes life easier i got a pump box just bought it in out the van. a few minutes and a few minutes in the morning to connect back up. bought the pump board as my son may be helping me out. brian

wasn't knocking you personally... it really is a case of joining a couple of wires a 5 min job and they come with all instructions

If you have limited space and want to run a 2 man set up and board is a good way to go and less expensive than a pump box . Mike
