Without trying to sound condescending.... once you fully understand how use and calibrate a controller properly to your individual system, they are priceless IMO.
My system is leak free, never required protektacote in any van and never get connectors popping off. It's fully fitted with Hozelock type connectors and barbed joints. All the barbed joints are only retained by plastic cable ties with no jubilee clips.👍

Yeah beginning to realise i should have used a controller all these past years.
Anyway, how are you doing Daz?

Hi Jon I'm fine pal....ticking over nicely in a work sense.....missing the gym and my bandmates though.....I've ordered a new roland electronic drum kit to keep me sane and my drumming up to scratch......I think we ll be doing a lot of charity gigs when all this is over!

Retail therapy always good
You've set my mind thinking 

[stevieg]

Has anyone used different brands and found a particular one the best?  I am sick of the things burning out/packing in and getting no help from the supplier with repair or even suggestions to where to get them repaired!!!  Failing that,can anyone suggest parts etc how to make your own,including the voltage protection device.

Thanks.

I can see the benefits of the calibration now, I never used to like the cal function as I preferred having instant full whack when I pulled the univalve. With the cal set it takes a few seconds for the pressure to work back up. But like you say, I got leaks galore, blowing fittings weekly, water all over the van lol. Now I have the cal set in my truck I haven't seen a drop of water in the back. The van used to p water out of the sides every day lol.

With a bit of practice, trial & error, you'll be able to set it to perfection and even get rid of that slight delay.👍
All you have to do then is adjust it slightly for hot and cold weather- usually just 1 or 2 values either way of your optimum to compensate.

Spring provide a two year return to base manufacturers warranty on their controllers, and will often inspect controllers for free then advise on next steps before doing anything else.

 Support is provided by the distributors and Spring very often through these and other social media pages. Controllers are designed in house and we manufacture in the UK. The forums are also a way for us to gain feedback which is reflected back into the controllers.

The window cleaner suppliers and stockist have these in stock. If you look at the supplier web site you would get other supplies from.

[stevieg]

Do you mean that Spring supply these to other suppliers? If so can you tell me who they are?

Further to my previous question I notice that a "supplier" has very similar controllers to the spring brand. If I send my controllers to spring would they look at them for me?

[Simon Trapani]

Spring make them all. They just get rebadged for the suppliers.

When your batteries are fixed and your controllers in a dry area then you should have no issues.


The trouble starts when you have to remove the battery for charging. Murphy's law says that if you are dyslexic like I am you are going to get the battery terminals mixed up sooner or later. Reversing polarity blows controllers.

Like you I plug my battery charger in over night to supplementary charge my leisure battery and van battery at the same time. There is no way I can make a mistake and damage my controllers.
