Out of interest have you seperated it from the pump? How far is it from the pump? Where is the pump in all this?
When you open my side load door you have my varistream,the pump is at the bottom of the frame on the left as you open the left rear door,there is just under a meter separating them.I have the pos and earth running down the frame neatly covered in black twisty cable tidy stuff and cable tied to the frame,i hate a messy setup as it looks cluttered.I`ll post some picks soon.

My hosereel is fixed to the floor at the back of the van and my varistream is on the tank frame at the side load door no where near it,the pump and controller are attatched to the frame where they should be out of the way.I`ve stopped using the electric reel for the moment as it can play havvock with your wrist,you need something for the drill to butt up against to stop the strain on the wrist.I`m looking into it at the moment,it needs something that it can be permantley attatched to so that all you have to do is press the trigger so there`s no need to hold the drill.

My practical is messy but I tbink well and hate muddled thoughts in others, I won't finish this but you can guess where it's going.

I;ve neve thought of the pump and vari as seperate beacuse I often have to swap them and find this quicker as a unit (which is how all of mine came-attached to a pump).

Recently when one plays up I take the vary lid off one and put it on the other.


I assume your electic reel is working well. Where is that? can it whack the fragile varistream in it's new position?
do you ever get water on or near your battery connections ?

By the way I take my hat off to you for making your own hot system.

NHW what are you thinking of doing with the sticking then ?

you can get drill holders and I am sure this could be ideal, I had one years ago when I had a market stall to drill down all the time was a pain in the backside got one of these and it was easy.

Discount i am not taking anything away from you at all but i spoke to a plubmer the other day and i couldn`t beleive how easy it is,he told me that the boiler only has to have a water in and out and that`s it.The flu is the most difficult thing he said,after that connect the water after pump and that`s it.When i told him how much some companys were charging to fit them he couldn`t beleive it.He talked me through it,it took him about 5mins lol. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think my main problem would be powering it, its obvoius a boiler has water in cold and out hot, another thing that would concern me is the insurance cover which has got to be a factor.

I could be well wrong I dont know just my thoughts

You need 12vlts to power the one he showed me in his magazine for spares etc,the one he advised was one that was about 18"x18" he said it would be more than adequate.
