Any recommendations for Pumpboxes? There's this one: Anyone know of any others?

I know, but I'm not very good at things like that.

It's not in a box but far cheaper... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100PSI-SHURFLO-PUMP-FLOWMASTER-DIGITAL-FLOW-CONTROLLER-PANEL-/262646673157?hash=item3d26f62f05

I use those in the vans. They are excellent. It's for my truck and I don't want to screw it into the lining. :-[

This is my kind of pump box :) http://www.windowcleaningwarehouse.co.uk/FC325.html
With 24% off today I don't think there is a better value package out there.

They are euro boxes. We used loads in my last place of work. Or just buy an electrical box n fit pump inside.

Thanks in advance.
ive got one of them as a spare(my other one is a streamline pumpbox).never used it yet!it looks the business though! :)
i too cant be bothered with screwing them to the side of the van.i much prefer having the battery,pump,controller in a box.
-
300 pounds for that it's ridiculous

Buy a Gardiner backpack, take the top off and plumb the water in. Works perfect, no dramas.

You just need to buy a decent pump & controller and stick it in a box. If need be get a seprate battery box with a decent size battery in it if you want to go large... no dramas ;D

Bad wiring and corroded connections cause fuses to melt and your system stops working... You then have to scratch your head wondering what the fault could be..... this time!
The box is around £40, decent pump £90, controller £90, hose connections , O rings and battery connections £15 then get yourself a drill and with some unnecessary holes later you have yourself a pump box to be proud of! How much have I saved?

About 100 squid or more as a battery is never included in those ready made pump box's ::)roll

Just choose the size you want
Then add a battery to the box, bit of hose, drill a couple of holes and put whatever quick connect hose couplings you want. Even I could do that and I'm crap at diy ;D

PF has fairly dropped the price they were about £180+vat and around £160 on ebay as I posted above. I'm sick of down days just now so I'm thinking £300 isn't that bad for professionally made kit.

dont forget you also have to buy a leisure battery too thats around £60-£70.easier and quicker just to buy it complete. :)

the battery was included with mine smurf.in fact i bought the pumpbox back in feb.its never been used as i fixed my old one(loose wire)but using the battery every day.

i got the water genie pump box with a battery supplied, box is great but the battery was crap first one lasted about 3 month, they replaced it n 2nd one lasted about 6 month i sent it back & got a strange message about it leaking & having to be destroyed. just use £10 car battery now from the scrappy
i will diy my next one but only cos i can look & copy what i already have
-
I had a rare moment of DIY inspiration and thought I could velcro a pumpboard to the side of the truck. :)

Those things you use to hang pictures on the wall that are easily removed would probably give a stronger hold.

Firstly why would a d.iy box have bad wiring or corroded connections?
Secondly it's not hard to diagnose a fault in a van mount system.
Let's see the pump isn't running, ok Einstein let's put 12v to it does it run. No? I guess the pumps knackered then. Oh it does run, let's bypass the controller any joy? No ok must be the wiring then let's have a look further. Basic basic fault finding
-
OK Einstein!
Firstly, he said he's no use at diy so....
Secondly, I would hazard a guess that most faults with equipment is from bad/corroded connections.
Basic basic fault finding as you put it, may seem basic for one person and like rocket science for another. If everyone is making as much as they claim on here then why bother wasting your time on a diy box which doesn't save you much in the long run.
-
If a pump doesn't work when you put it to a battery doesn't mean it's knackered it might just be pressure switch it happened to me other day no life in pump wired it to battery still no life put a new pressure switch on it hey presto worked fine
-
You could also design and build a freestanding skid type mount for the back of a pickup to bolt all the crap to it just how you want. Once done just forlk lift it in....Job done lol

That's a Soupymobile.

Indeed ;D
How about you knock something up in wood instead of a full metal skid to mount your bits on.

Buying a pumpboard and I'm just going to velcro it - high tech!
-
Nice one...let us know how you get on ;)

I just got a bit of ply board and screwed two pumps and two controllers to it. There's one hose - with a splitter - from the tank to the board. I have a connection there too.
I have an electrical connection that disconnects it from the battery cable.
When the temp threatens to be below freezing, I disconnect the board and battery connection and put it in the house.
It looks like something the Taliban made, but it works, and hasn't given me any trouble ever.

Regards to velcro I think this chap has a wee bit of a fetish going on ;D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=786RC3CdHCo

Just make one out of an old tool box, I did.

How much time do you spend on YouTube?
You should start your own channel documenting the ridiculous stuff you come across and throw in some sarcastic comments of folks websites just for fun! ;)

I found that vid quite interesting as it happens as just goes to show how handy velcro can be for storing stuff on the likes of vertical surfaces.
I'm now thinking verlco boards used in a van for instance would also come in very handy for storage too without the need for drilling holes etc. That is the reason why I posted the vid if I'm honest after 8 weekly said he was going to velcro a pump and controller on which I thought was actually a cleaver idea.
-
Good idea for the van but the video is far from interesting. I give it a try with me new Facelift compact lol.
