Love this :wink: Could you tell me how your pump setup works? What kind of flow controller is it that the pump is sitting on? :hat:

Thankyou I've got to finish this yet though. What kind of speed controllers would you be using? I've settled on a bench power supply giving me precise control but would be very interested in a controller that could go in the box too!

So lowering the speed of the pump or voltage can shorten the life of the pump? Ooh I'm worried now :wha: So I can adjust it with my lever ball valve tap? I thought restricting the flow would damage the pump that's why I went down the voltage route. My head is hurting with all this voltage...

Thanks for the help guys, something for me to chew on :wink: Now I don't know if I've done the right thing, but I popped into maplins today and got myself a bench power supply :wha: I got some off it anyway so it came out to about £55 (If it doesn't work or I start feeling guilty about the...

Interesting Fil :thumb: It's certainly one option, are there any more options? How do you guys control and slow the pump when using it with a rotating sparge arm? And do you have a second pump from the mash tun to the boiler going at the same rate? One day I will finally get round to brewing...

I'm making a solar pump in a box (tweaked version) My question is, is there a way of adding a variable voltage thingamajig to the box or to the power wire? The multi voltage power supplies you can get all seem to have the voltage selector on the wrong side of the plug, so you have to remove...

Ok shorten the links if it looks better :thumb: I don't know the size of the pics exactly, they are from my photostream so I would guess about 1mb each?

Hi V, May as well leave the links as full I think, if they expire then at least people will get a rough idea of where to find them, because the sites name will be there, if ya get me, :hmm:

This is a "How I did it" guide more than a "How to". Many thanks to Vossy for his how to on converting a thermo pot to a bottom draining mash tun, which inspired me to do my own similar but slightly modified version. Parts list. Note that Tappatalk users may have to use web view to view...

Inspired by another How To: Goes Here Bits Required: Marking the holes: Completed box: To be continued... Changed my switch and power supply

Right thankyou guyb, very helpful, I didn't notice the 1 amp thing :doh: Ok off I go to find a good one :wha:

This is the pump http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290953728654? ... 1439.l2649 I've never understood ampage :wha:

Can you get 24v variable voltage plug in power supplies? That was a mouthful :hmm:

Ok I've just tried to power my pump with my new power supply and it won't power it :doh: The pump I have is the 24v 5m head version of this solar pump, I've tried a variable output 12v power supply and it doesn't work, however my 15v charger works... What kind of power supply should I get for...

I've now got all the pieces, thanks guys :thumb: Think ill attempt it today :party:

I'm having trouble locating the ½ inch lock nut thingy :doh: Couldn't find one in B&Q Where can I get one from and what are they called? Many thanks

Thankyou :party:

There will be..... patience :wink:

Thanks guys :thumb: On closer inspection the mesh may be too flimsy to support anything, and like you say Vossy, if it pits it will quite literally disintegrate I think :hmm: As I am slap bang in the middle of making my shiney brewery, are there any methods of making false bottoms out of...
