LOL i can't believe this is still going, I expected a couple of posts. I think I'll put mine back in, get a lighter thing and not eat too much meat for fearing of staining aluminium

im trying to work out how you would go about staining aluminium using only the power of your insides.

I do and have used my tap/sink when it works!! I replaced the tap a while back as it wasn't working. It worked again for a while and now it isn't - any ideas if it uses a lot of/more power than the 12v lights (which are working)? as I am flummoxed now. Wondering if my leisure battery has seen better days.

So, in answer to the question. If the tap were working then I would use it but usually only for tooth brushing and hand washing and occasional filling of the kettle if I have no bottled water ...

They don't use very much power at all - about the same as a 12v flourescent tube. Switch is the obvious suspect. The switch in our tap died, we fitted a new tap, the switch has died again already.

Urghhh. How annoying!! I only used the new one a couple of times too Hmmmmm

Our shop sell pump controllers that sense a pumps current draw when the water flow is interrupted and turns off the pump should it rise above the set psi.
This can be set from 0 to 99 psi
the controller is 12v
features
digital display batt & aux batt voltage
pump speed control
dead end control
on off function
on constant ( no draw )

they cost a bit though about £80
but no need for a tap switch!

shure-flo pump pressurizes the system then the tap(smev) is progressive so either a trickle or full, i have an isolating switch for the pump.
