Right I have my cupa tea, my box of ritz crackers and a plate of cheese so I'm happy now
i have got an inline fuse on my red wire so if i was to put the wrong way round yes i have done it it blows the fuse 5p not £75 plus i have put a cheap £2 switch in so i just switch my v stream off with the switch and do not have to touch my v stream only to change the water flow which is not very often

I agree with the in-line fuse, that williamsons are now adding to the varistream, but were talking about making the system itself Idiot proof, and adding an in-line fuse does not make it so.
I see lots of posts on here were the guy's say KISS (keep it simple stupid), Lets say you blow your fuse when out on a job, now the fuse in my varistream does not have a value printed on it, its only because I know the red one is rated at 10 amp, how about the guy's who don't know this, they stick in a higher rated fuse, do the same thing again, Bang goes your varistream that will be £75 please. Its no Joke at this price.
I and JM123 will probably know the true cost of making such a piece of equipment like the varistream and I know that Williamsons, can reduce the price of them, and still make a profit.
Jeff, have you talked to Martin at williams's?
He is the most helpful guy you could wish to meet. I am sure if you voiced your concerns to him, he would take your comments on board. The problem may never have occurred to them.
My dealings with williams's have left me impressed with their patience and courteous service. Dai

I have never phoned williamsons, and I don't doubt you, that there a good bunch of lads, but they are also professionals in there field.
As for the problem may not have ever occurred to them, I can't swollow that one, and my reason for this, is they must have a fair supply of returns to them and being pro's, they know what the problem is, and being pro's they would know, how to rectify the problem, (simple a little zener diode) but also being a supplier and adding this little diode on the board, would do them selfs out of £75 each time, because when a guy blows the board its his fault, not the supplier or manufacturers.
Not for my sake but for the sake of you guy's, I want williansons (or there supplier) to add the diode to the board if they won't drop there price, also adding this diode should in no way increase the cost.
One company Eco-Flow as sair said, they have one built in.
I look at you guy's as my friends, for all the help I have had from you in the past, and this just makes me so angry, when I see the prices were being charged, not just for varistreams but all the other gear as well, I understand that companys have to make a profit but so do we.
So I for one will fight to get this diode installed for you.
