is the speed controller working for the pump as well ?..im thinking i need a stronger pump but want to be able to turn it down..these solar pumps dont have speed controls on them

Appreciate a parts list or similar would be looking to build one myself
Thanks

Hi tazuk,

Can you tell me how you 'separated' the dimmer switch please; ie - how you managed to get the black control knob away from the plastic lid ?

I think I've bought exactly the same model as you but, without resorting to a lump-hammer, I can't get the thing apart ? :wha:

Cheers
