Lidl pump update
« on: March 21, 2012, 03:47:04 pm »
And it works a treat  :)

My psi has gone from 38 psi
To a whopping   77 psi with this £50 pump !

Also Tds from my merlin has gone from 31 to 16 before Di


Money well spent I think  ;D

The only down side is with the extra pressure
I have a little leak but I will hunt for that the weekend!!

I managed to get the fitting from a local plumbers merchant
That we're £8 a 1 inch screw thread down to half inch male hose tail

So £58 all in all and the pump will do as a transfer pump eh I get an ibc

Many thanks Colin
