Would these Vyair pumps be any good instead of using the more expensive Sureflow or Flowjet pumps.....

I have had the 7 lit per min pump for 2 years and going well. The thing I like is the flow rate you can really turn it up one first cleans as flush the dirt of works a treat.AS well putting enough water on flatter conny roofs is a plus factor.

Cheers James, is the 7ltr the best to go for as there's a few to choose from...and what controller would you suggest, 'digital' or 'analogue'.
-
Some big savings there from Vyair if you buy pump, strainer and controller together....compared to the better known names.

A word of warning regarding vyair pumps.
Don't get me wrong because I like this company and bought my 4040 membranes and pre filters from them, BUT you get what you pay for with pumps. I replaced a shurflo 100 psi pump (over 6 years old) with a similar specced vyair and I needed to replace it within 2 years. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I will not scrimp on a pump again - I have gone back to a shurflo now .
Just my opinion of course, its your money and your choice.

5ltr vyair pump for me, no controller, run on full flow.
Never let me four down, 4 years use so far.

Like I said , maybe I was just unlucky, but I won't buy the same pump a second time just to find out, that goes for any pump, be it vyair, shurflo or flojet.
It wasn't that mine packed up, it slowed considerably within a 2 year period , so much that my flow controller had to be on full all the time just for it to work adequately, it didn't become fully apparent just how bad it was until I borrowed a pump off of someone to compare it to.
