40psi is a bit low.

We run 2 poles and need more than 80psi (usually use 100) especially when both poles are doing third floor windows.

I received it today, useful bit of kit.

It works as a split charge system as well as a flow control.

You can monitor your battery with it.

It will even shut off the pump if you are going to flatten your battery.

yes i use it its good but every so often you have to charge your battery from the mains as driving around keeps it toped up eventualy it needs a good top up but if your battery does go flat you can turn your engine on and it will run on that it has a cut out so when it goes lower than 11 amps it will not run the pump witch can be a pain
