Title: Compact domestic water fed pole set up advice needed
Post by: Rcs on March 01, 2010, 08:24:08 pm

Just setting up a small  domestic wfp system purely for domestic work all I need is a pump and controller the work will be max 2 storey
been looking at pump boxes etc looking at a cleantech version but are over £300 quid
any ideas on somewhere cheaper also what size pump can I get away with
there are various trolley boxes on the market will these be any good

Pump boxes are a time to take advantage of you. Look on this web site some one made one themselves. Cheap pumps on e bay Put in "Red hat diving” and look on the web shop menu for window cleaning. pumps at 45 to 65 quid. You cane make a valve by pass to bring down pressure and not strain you pump. There are also diy web for WFP sites on the internet.
