Title: got bored so built a double flow controller
Post by: R.C Property on January 27, 2013, 05:51:51 pm
Bored today at home so i thought i would build another flow controller but this time one that can control 2  pumps using one unit and one power supply from the battery.
got to put up some more connectors as i run out, but there is a picture of it 99% finished

I just took one of those in line fuses out of my van - gave me nothing but trouble - the spades on the fuse were a really sloppy fit.  ???

what pwms are you using iv as i think i could do with one with a higher amp rating i use the pro pumps as the amps suit the maplin pwm so if i got an higher amp shurflo i may have to change it to cope thi i have a mate that runs a 3 amp pwm with a 8 amp pump no problems which i dont get tbh

The single pump controllers I do is £45 including P&P

This double one not worked out price yet as its my first one I've made so got to test it etc. But looking no more than £75 with p&p could work out a little less.

i had to squeeze mine with pliers to get a better fit, do you not have a fuse now ?
