anyone use one or know anything about them please

[mike1986]

I have a few of these. They are very reliable, however they do leak and drip a lot at the hose connection ports.

It's just a pump in a box with a controller bolted on and two outside ports so nothing special. You could also easily diy your own if you wanted.

i'm scared of diy lol but this one is £250  inc pump,battery, strainer & controller so dont seem too bad

I used one in one of my vans once... It was good - did the job with no problems.

how do you  charge yours up dazmond

[Smurf]

I don't think they come with a battery so will bump the price up
If they do will be a smaller one not the standard large size battery used for van mount wfp work as would not fit in the box.

This size battery 115ah looks cheap at the mo from halfords http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/camping-caravanning/caravanning/halfords-leisure-battery-115-ah as is a much better size battery than the 85ah being sold on that link you gave .

Just food for thought as if building a van mount you don't have to have it all in a box if you don't want too.

[Smurf]

If you are not into diy then something like this might do to go with the larger battery

You will also need a charger to keep the battery charged up and maybe an intelegent split relay if you wanted but if you don't do many miles will still have to put the battery on charge.

Wrong...

They come with a standard 75 amp battery.

I don't know the spec of battery or pump but items would be bought brand new for approx
Shurflo Pump 6lpm £75
Pump strainer £12
Controller less than £50
Brand new leisure bat 110ah £85
Bits of hose an clips £10-15
Small strong stack and store box £10
There not a massive difference in price
I use dubilee clips on my hoses,  u can't tighten them enough using a screw driver but by using a socket allows u to fully tighten them so there's no leaks,
I have my pumps screw into the bulkhead at the bottom in the gap between the tank, run hoses round the back and through Di.
I always try to maximise the space available

Thanks I was looking at another supplier that don't include the battery
