interesting, only just posted in another thread about problem with flow on my vyair pump,
http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=174566.0
my vyair pump was only 2 years old but showing signs of having slowed down,
yes this pump would work but for how long ?
my experience shows you are better off buying a quality pump - shurflo or flojet etc.

i know how long that is the question but if they last 2 years like the v air for 20 delivered thats £10 a year so could afford a spare one and still have change from what you would on a named product just a thought as like i said i know others use the £30 ones from ebay but found these cheaper

What would worry me is that we work in a damp environment. That motor is rather open. I also rather suspect that the current draw of 3 amps is not accurate. I suspect that its the pump running at full flow without restriction of lengths of hose and jets.

I also disagree with the reasoning that if it lasts 2 years then you are quids in. You have only taken the price of the pump into consideration. When your system developes in intermittant fault, the first suspect is battery, then connections, then controller and finally pump. Even the Hozelok fittings to the hose reel are suspect. You can mess around for hours trying to identify a fault. Downtime is money lost and a cost to your business.

My one Shurflo pump on my van is 7 years old and the other is 5 years old, the Shurflo on my son's van is 6 years old. The Shurflo on my son in laws van is 2 years old. I have a Varistream controller and spare Shurflo pump in my office as a back incase of failure - they are 2 years old and not used yet.

Would I buy that pump? No, for me that is false economy.

The Vyair pumps aren't that much cheaper than the Shurflo, and a number have started to report that they aren't as robust as the Shurflo and Flojets are. Again, I would say purchasing them is false economy.

hi
yes i agree in one respect in what you are saying i have a flowjet that has served me for the past 5 years it was just a quick cheap thought as a back up pump
but just wondered if they would withstand the job so at the moment with the replys its 50/50
cheers

[evo]

so hoo is going to be the gineau pig then lol

[m.b.s.]

for £20 i will try one but i need to split the pipe from tank to my original pump so i can run the two pumps together
any ideas how i can do it ? i run tank through pipe direct to pump and pump to hose real as i have static at home and transfer pure to tank at night so no need for di vesicle ro in van etc.

thank you spruce you make a lot of sense as usual  
Gonna get me a shurflo from Daqua ( my last one lasted over 5 years also, its s replacement the bargain priced vyair looked the part but after 2 years as you've correctly said not as robust)

Personally, that's a wise decision. The last 2 pump kits I have have come from Daqua. I would also add a bayonet filter and hose fittings to the order as well.

get what your saying, admit I am tempted too

how your van set up ?

very simples, tank, 1 meter 1/2" hose hose to pump and controller, then to 1 meter 1/2" hose to reel.

same as mine then so how do i split so i ca try pump?

just get a barbed 1/2" (or whichever size you use) 2 way splitter and some jubilee clips, better than the hoselock splitters which are prone to leaking and causing airlock issues.
Simon

[m.b.s.]

barbed y you mean and put it on tank to pump side?
how far down from the original pump would you put it or dont you think it would matter?
