dotcom Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 As promised. My setup. My trade is rigger in the oil field so plenty of hands on experience with pipes & pumps. My first 2 pumps were top of the line Mitsubishi 400 watt (no tank or pressure switch). After the second one wore out I went with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotcom Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 It's on a timer - which runs twice a day for an hour per cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 And fills this storage tank which is about 800 liters. It's made of plastic - not sure what kind. I have had the tank over 20 years with no algae problems etc. It has a float valve to stop filling once it is full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotcom Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 That Furnas pressure switch isn't doing anything at the moment. Left over from my old system. This new pump is 2 pieces. The controller threads into the outlet. It has lights to show condition & will not start if there is no water in the suction. Very happy with it. Very powerful & much more quiet than the old Mitsu.

Rimmer Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Apart from the upturned flower pot holding up the Sanyo pump it reminds me of a North Sea Oil Rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
