Shocking story. I don't think anything positive will come out of this. Try not to dwell on the negatives.

what happens when you do this?does it fry your controller?does it affect battery and pump or can you just wire them up direct bypassing the controller?

It can make your controller go pop but all you should have to do is replace the fuse.......if you remembered to fit one in the first place!

do you now want to tell everyone about school boy error number 2 and 3 today 

ding dong

[Don Kee]

Liking the jokes, i'll be passing many coats on later!!!


So this morning ive hooked up 2 hosereels from one battery....the auto cal on the controller is about as useful as a smack in the face so for the first 2 hours, rather than dead ending, the pump sounds like chitty chitty bang bang (replace the 'ch' with 'sh' if you wish!!)

Managed to sort that, so i figure why stop there!as if the day isn't already winding me up, lets do something else.....

Next house i get water into the doorbell....
You'd think this shouldnt be a problem, or at least if a problem occured the doorbell just wouldn't work....
Oh no!!! This doorbell decided it was on speed, and played a crappy 'ding dong' theme over and over and over and over and over and over....
Take the battery out, dry the inside, fix it back up.....
'Ding dong' over and over and over and over....
Half hour of faffing about, lots of swear words later we decide the doorbell wins...
 
So just picked up a new doorbell ready to be fitted tomorrow

Deep breath, count to 10....

They say it happens in 3's!

P.s

Frank and Bobplum can do one

Getting it safe so you don't break it ))))

I clean the windows for a customer who has a Friedland bell and the name friedland is actually branded on the bell. For years i referred to her as Mrs. Friedland, as i thought that was her name! She didn't correct me ever, she said it really used to make her laugh and she hadn't the heart to tell me!

I didnt to be honest mate

I brought i wicks one as the original was wicks and so it should be (in theory) more likely to pair up wirelessly with the chime box

[Frankybadboy]

I can see this going ti-ts up tomorrow big time.
