I have got an Ionics pro 5 i use in my garage to produce my water.

At present I am powering it with a battery which is permanently connected to a charger.

I need to find an alternate method without the need for battery charging, id there a mains adapter i can buy or something

[Chris Galloway]

wat voltage is the battery 12V??

 cant u use a 12V dc adaptor?

you need something like this

h ttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-MAINS-230V-TO-12V-POWER-ADAPTER-CONVERTER-AC-DC_W0QQitemZ110320766879QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ConsumerElectronics_PowerAdaptors_SM?hash=item110320766879&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

ditch the ciggie lighter end and just connect it to the device

though you will have to check the power your " i cannot say the word " system needs

as you might need something with a little more ooompppph ( they have them on ebay )

Give it to Matt and he`ll take down to his shed and give it the once over lol.

All it needs is something to power the solenoid, the power allows the solenoid to open which lets the water in.

[NWH]

Why don`t you just wire up a solinoid valve like you would in a van to the static battery.

I do that at the moment , but keep it permanently on trickle charge.

I want something more permanent i can just plug in the mains, therefor totally eliminating the battery

[matt]

dave, that ebay item i listed will be ok then

its just a plug in the wall that produces 12 V power

job done

oh and NWH, sorry to destroy the illusion, i dont have a shed im afraid  im too poor for a shed
