After welding up the framework for the water tank and fitting it before the Gaydon Land Rover show, I actually managed to get around to wiring up the pump on Sunday. The gearbox change had gone swimmingly and so I had the sunday to do other things. Unfortunately the weather was pants so I didn't get a whole lot done.
All the kit wat providede by Boab who were extremely helpful and knowlegable. They supplied the tank, pump, purifier, shower head, and all the pipework. They also connected everything up and put little labels on all the pipes so we knew exactly what connected to what! So big up for Boab, cheers chaps!! :-)
The wiring for the switch to operate the pump needed to run from the batery box under the passengar seat to the back of the vehicle. I'd already run in a wire for the rear lighter sockets and so used that conduit to run the 2 new switch wires to the back of the vehicle. The switch activates the relay which switches on the pump.
At the moment the pump if mounted on the bulkhead. But I think this will need to be moved as I intend to fit the speakers in the rope boxes behing the rear seats. If this happend then the pump will be in the way. Fortunately I haven't made the wiring or the plumbing to the pump perminant yet, so things can still be moved around fairly easily.
We chucked some water in the tank, flicked the switch and voila! we have water!! :-)
