looks a bit cheap.
I got a pump from this place Silom
solid kit, a lot cheaper than some of the well known brands.

hi simon which one did you buy and is it good

sorry ant, only just noticed your question

I got the first one that you see on the website,

M457

I think at the time I found the site on flea bay.
it is a solid metal box, pressure not as high as some others, but more than sufficient for most plumbing applications.
had it about a year, one of them tools you buy but only use on occasion.
it is as AW says similar to the rothenburger but half the price.
cant vouch for integrity over a period of heavy use, but it does seem a very robust tool.

my rothenberger tester has tested over 150 houses to 18bar with no problems. If you leave it in the van or shed make sure you get all the water out in winter as i have seen them damaged from frozen water in winter times.

does the same thing, only at a cheaper price..:deal:
if its for a single job there is the cheaper ebay option or a hire shop

no i want one for most jobs after first fix just to check everything.would it take ages to fill the system though?if i closed the trv's and lockshields that is.as installs i do i prefer the manifold's method.ao could i just attach to either flow or return,cap everything else and away i go???
