Yes, me. Superb piece of kit mate, really well put together & has never let me down. I had my power lead made with a 12v cig lighter plug on the end. ;)

Can't praise this pump box enough!

Yes, but so does a pump board also by cleantech, and the filter is easier to get to.

Yes, simple as. ;)  Bring in house on frosty nights to prevent freezing, just unplug it. Or you can fill the box with loft insulation. ;)

I had that one too, lasted me over 3 years without letting me down once. Then it just stopped working, gave me the excuse to buy a new one with digi' varistream which has not let me down in 2 years & still going strong!!!! 8) 8)

Yes you could, cleantech's is an electrical box BUT when you whey up what all the bits cost + time & effort it just isn't worth doing it mate. I looked into doing it. ;)

What dimentions roughy are these boxs? would be good to make something neat that I can just "Plug and play".

Although you may only save minimal money, its still something. And for some people like myself, meas you can buy bit by bit.

No Jouk, they may appear to be similar, but are miles apart. ;)

Spot on mate, the bits o the box that the hoselock style vbrass fitting go into, the clear plastic bits. What are these? These would also be ideal by the looks of things to have one small external port in the side of my van to have the reel outside!!

from the guide i did, think you mean this

now the bit inside the box under the "top hat" is a 6mm barb with 3/4" thread (item number NHT3414) Hosetail 3/4"-1/4" Nylon on wintecs site, though i am sure other will do them (i just used wintec that day)

Matt does the top hat washer just sit between the hose end and the hoselock style bras fitting. So the hose end screws into the brass fitting through the box?

Or does the washer have its own threads and they connect together through the washer?

Cheers mate, and hope that has made sense.
