hi marcus yeh i thought that(i always have to learn the hard way!)the varistream comes after the heater if you restrict the flow the gas will shut off as i understand it-best to get the restrictor/save water/save hassle-i did under nats advice and its really worked for me

surely the pump has to come before the heater  ??? Im confused I was planing to cut the hose between the pump and the hose reel and add the L5 in there

Chris,

Your more than welcome to pop over and I'll help as much as I can but it is pretty straight forward. You are right, pump, l5, hosreel. I havent used a flow restrictor and it works really well, all I did was adjust the pressure switch setting a bit.

Whats an L5?

Where did you buy from?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350408249626&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

According to the website delivery statement & google currency converter/calculator, that should cost £100 all in Chris. Is that right?

I paid $350 (£228.60) for 2 units

Thanks Chris.

What type, (coloure/size) gas bottle do you need mate? Had a look on flo gas website & there's loads of different ones!

I remember when i treid a heater you need a good flow through them, about 4 on digi varitstream used to light it up, but 4 was too much water for me really.

Just had a thought, instead of a flow restrictor, why not channel it back to tank like a tank bypass with a tap inline. That was your tank would be getting heated to.

Also does the L5 still have the silly 18 mintue timeout thing? I never understood how to bypass that?

Remember you will have customs fees to pay
I have done the bypass ,works well. The 20min cut off, just stop water flow and start again,simple  ;D
