Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Happen to be in the right place at the right time and this bloke gave these to me for free. I should have been patient because now I've got eight of these things and didn't need to buy two.

Still haven;t tackled wiring these things up and will get to is soon!

I bought 40 dollars worth of crap copper pipe for a solar hot water project i think he felt bad about charging so much for a few scrap peaces and just said you can have them.

Just showing a pic!

Just made use of this link - Dismantling Tubs.

No idea what i could use the plastic tubs for but seems they would hold good water for troughs if plugged up and the stainless steal bowl well i have no idea at all.

Hi Jaffasoft

I am planing to put a solar hot water system together some time in the future,but it wont be for a while yet, but I am starting throw a few bits and peices into the corner of the shed. I would be interested in what you are planing to do. Maybe a thread in the solar and heating would be good.

By the way what are you planing to do with all those motors.

All the best Dean.
