@ Smurf ( Auto Shut Off Solenoid )
« on: December 11, 2016, 10:28:27 pm »
Hi m8,

I did a search on the forum for an auto shut off on my mains feed. Currently I have a float valve ( removed from a submersible pump) which cuts off my booster pump when the water is at the top and a standard ballcock which shuts of the pure water to the tank................but obviously my waste is still running !!.

I read one of your posts regarding the kit which can be made similar to the pure freedom kit.

Are these the pieces I need

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-DC-250MA-Magnetic-Electric-Solenoid-Valve-for-Water-Air-with-Filter-/141637032195?hash=item20fa399903:g:H~EAAOSwoydWiLl2

I have plenty of mains cable and a quick connector ( so thats covered ).

What would I need from here

and would the mains converter you mention be 240v  to 12v ?, not quite sure what you meant by the mains converter for 240v

any input appreciated m8,

Its a 4040 by the way

cheers Fields ;)

TWAT !!!, just realised you mean something like this and cut the adapter off and fix the connector ?

I brought a 12v version of this as I was going to set it up in my van but I changed my mind anyway it is new and in the box cost around £300 if you are interested you can have it half price as it is just gather dust  http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/pump-controllers/system-controllers/liquid-logic-trade-s2-static-ro-system-booster-pump-control.html

Or you could just buy this maybe http://gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/all-products/pump-hose/pump-controllers/system-controllers/liquid-logic-trade-autofill.html

because I seem to remember that you mentioned it could all be done for under 15 quid ;)

Thanks Mark, I'm a bit of a DIY man and will give it a go, love a bit of fiddling, but thanks for your offer m8, particularly like your vids on youtube, thats where I saw the power reel in action and your 2 x 4040 set up.  ( I assume that is you ? ....lol  )

I opted for this, which I'm gonna run in sequence with the submersible float

http://www.solenoid-valve.world/by-material/plastic-nylon-pvc-ptfe-delrin-pp/5115BC-RPE-solenoid-valve?gclid=CLaElpuq8tACFde6GwodOF4FkA

I have a 24v booster pump which cuts out once the float reaches the top, cutting the supply will trigger the solenoid and stop the mains. THATS THE THEORY !!!...........lol
