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

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.

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


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WATER-GENIE-PUMPBOX-100PSI-DIGITAL-FLOW-CONTROLLER-COMPLETE-WINDOW-CLEANING-/172403458940?hash=item28240c037c:g:EloAAOSwMVdYIzKX

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.
price higher/work harder!

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. :)

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
