    well that made my accomplishment seem rather small lol,although getting it back in place was a contortionists nightmare,eventually i need to move the drums to right side wall of filter house and site nexus where drums are now,when this gets done ive decided to fit some sort of small water tank maybe a loft tank with auto top up and supply my flushing pumps with chlorinated water as,although the mains pressure hasnt been good at cleaning debris off inside of drum screen i found out after the jet pump blasted it all off lol,it has kept the outside of the screen very clean,for anyone thinking of going from mains to a pump i would do the same and use unfiltered tap water to supply it,,,,andi

    yes tom,a lot better than the £50 it was going to cost for small pump and a solonoid to control flow,and much better than the £180 for a new jet pump loll,,,,andi

    I am in the process though of converting it to mains washing, have sourced most of the part, just the supply to the pond to be done. You will just need to remove the two wires from the solenoid and connect them to the pump, the rest is plumbing.
    Mission accomplished, the final six feet to the pond done and plumbed in the filter house, now have trickle in trickle out in the filter house along with the Draco pump disconnected and a Klop 12v solenoid wired and plumbed in, now have mains water washing the drum and straight down to waste. Have much more pressure coming from the jets than I did with the pump, even running the trickle in at half pressure.

    Don’t get that, you either have crazy high water pressure then or your pump wasn’t up to much, thought the pumps with the Draco’s were nearly 5bar pressure!??

    Don’t know what pressure it’s running but don’t recall even when it was first installed having cleaning pressure like I have now, will post a video at some point.

    For Blue Harbour,

    You can see the mist coming off the drum, much more than on the original video when new when pump fed.
