Hi scrubbers,
Anyone use this remote? Looks good, but would like confirmation that it's worth getting. Thanks.

My personal opinion is whats the point? If you have dead end detection on your pump controller? all you need is a hose/pole hose tap or even disconnect if you have an end stop.
until they make a remote that can adjust the flow other than on/off im out!

Using the radio remote means the pump does not dead end. The radio switch is placed in line between the control and pump on the live (brown) cable.
Activating the radio switch stops the pump instantly. as opposed to the control seeing a pressure build up and stopping the pump (DE)
You will see flow for A couple of seconds or so as the pressure in the hose lines bleed away. On restarting the pump the system will take a couple of seconds to repressure.
DG point on remote taken on board

I can't see a problem with dead ending the pump.
I personally don't use a controller (although I know a lot do)
I turn off the flow between every window and I've yet to burn out the pressure switch and even if I do they're cheap as chips.
When I want to lower the flow I shut the valve a bit.
Yes I know it may put added strain on the pump but its yet to show in its performance.
A new pump is only £65 a diaphragm kit even less.

I would agree there is no problem with dead ending the pump.
A controller is designed to do just that a control stops the pump before the pressure switch kicks in meaning there is less pressure in the system while the water is stopped.
A control gives an alternative means of controlling the flow and will monitor other parts of a system. Equally I appreciate that they are not for everyone.
The one shot radio remote again gives an alternate way of stopping the pump without a build up of pressure in the system.

they are for internal house leds and not for water fed pole work. they wont last at all and you would be lucky to get 5-10m away from it. they soon burn out after a few on offs!

still going to try it out

Been called worse,you'll have to do better!

Surly it would be good if your trying to save battery power
-
Also, does this unit turn the controller off?
-
Thanks for all replies. I have a John Guest tap just before the brush so I'd still be able to control the flow pretty easily on the downstairs windows and use the remote for the higher ones. Anyone know how effective they are when out of sight of the van, for instance if you're around the back of a house?

It says its rated for 8 Amps, I think it should handle a WFP pump fine. I'd be interested to know how he got on with it.

I will let you all know,putting it in the back pack to see if it will work as a flow control.

It is not the Amps that will be a problem more as RC says it is not designed for a wet environment the cable connectors are exposed to the elements.
The remotes switch the pump off and stop the water flow. The controller will remain on, The pump is responsible for pretty much all the current draw from your battery followed by voltage loss down the cables. A controller is taking 100th of a milli amp

i put on on a back pack pump just to try them out and it worked fine to start, only got 5m range on it and as soon as the pump pressured up it stoped working as it burnt out.

Bugger :D
At least i haven't wasted too much money then!

I've installed this remote today http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190829271367?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I didn't install it because i want to save water. I usually unplug my pole from the hose when not in use :-/ easy enough....
I've installed it so i don't have to keep opening the side door to my van 20 times a day to turn the system on/off. I would leave it running all day and let it dead end but i only do short runs and need to save battery power.
Easy to fit also.

This is that controller fitted.
Will try and get a better vid of it going.
Range is not huge,but is works as a flow controller which is what I wanted it to do.
