Alan Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Old filters from Spa or swimming pools would come into that catagory. Pick them up on TM sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aez Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 spud guns can be made rather cheaply i should know i think we are on about mark 4 ps(onions are great for these can always get the right size) anyway back on track so i cant really see why they would have quoted such a high price??

HaNs Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Price is so high as they are made to take large pressure. I picked up a old pool filter, this solves many of my problems and saves me $$$. 3800L/H filter for under $400 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
