Bit of an update.

Thanks to some warmer weather on the weekend I have finally got round to changing the pump on the machine, which I intended doing from the start.

I have replaced the permanent magnet pump which is so noise with a shaded pole pump which is smooth and quite, much better quality unit, I ask myself why so many machine manufacturers use these poor permanent magnet unit’s

The ugly.

New key pad for the front of the machine.
Hope to sale the maiden voyage this weekend.

But will it wash or wash up a disaster.

The reason manufacturers use magnet pumps is cause they are cheap as chips.

Also magnetic pumps never leak as are totally self contained, they dont last that long and are noisy but cost rules.

keep up the good work interested to see the final product.
