This is a great adaptation of solar lights, but there are a few things to be careful of with solar lights. A lot have no charge regulation on them, even the more expensive ones. This means it is very easy to overcharge the batteries, meaning risk of battery failure, which can be quite catastrophic. I'd factor in charge control with this modification to add safety to the system and make sure the batteries don't get overcharged.

Great video with some useful info. Thanks mate. Quick question, where does the washing machine drain hose goes in this unit. I have the same one installed, Robinhood supertub 1600. Thanks again

I have solar gnomes that I would like to convert like this. I wonder if I could do this if it would work

Thank you so much, detail explained video, I fixed my all four taps today successfully. God bless you...❤

Thank you so much. Great video. Worked s treat🎉

Just received a new welder. It already has the capacitor in place and alloy bus bars have been added to the long traces. Nicely done.

wow thank you. In the past I have gone down and bought a whole new unit and replaced it and now this worked and was easy I will never have to buy new unit again. I didn't have to remove the whole tap though just unscrewed it from the tub at the top. Thank you so much😇😇

My Robinhood Supertub 1400 has a different kid of tap, which lacks the securing nut under the knob. Looks like my mate Authur Rightus and I are in for some work.

Play sand makes better sense because of the price. I have seen many people show you alternatives that cost more than they are worth. If you don't leave your bags where mice or other animals could get them you can use things like rice, popcorn or even hard beans. I have used popcorn in shooting bags in the past. But I leave my things at a farm now and have to worry about mice eating their way in. So, I will be back to play sand. Problem with any alternative is the price and not even knowing whether there will be enough when you buy it to even fill the bag or bags.

Most excellent video. I don’t really feel like going to this much trouble knowing that one person tightening it too much will wreck it again. I wonder if you could replace the taps? Maybe not financially sensible but I like to reuse

Thanks man ordered one of these as well thought it was filled know they can be a pain and looks like it was. Thanks for sharing. my Father is from Christ Church, New Zealand.✌🏻

Thanks for the video. Very helpful which fixed my problem.

Good on ya mate. I'm a kiwi in SoCal. I'm going to build one of these for my home studio. Great idea, and a money saver.

Thanks, very helpful.

whats the purpose of the diplay mod?

Important to turn a hose tap on when turning water off and leave it on when you turn water on. Water comes out of there first , stops loading the inside taps, cistern with instant high pressure. Also if any grit is dislodged it will flow out tap and not to sistern or nefa/ ajax walve and lodging in washer. 🙂

Hello my friend. I did what exactly you adviced and i fixed it. After two days of normal indicator of the rpm it broke again. Do you know what is wrong? Thank you.

Awesome video which fixed my issue. Thanks a lot for sharing this 👍

May I ask what is the name of the tool that you used to remove the clip please? A great video 👍

thank you, have the exact same tub with the exact same jammed tap failed in the exact same way lol cheers.

Thanks, I used this to fix mine

Same one for Nissan Pathfinder 1996 R50 - Thank you mate!

Very Nice! Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience.

I use air soft bbs

Cheers man! Another fixed tap checking in. Was lucky to not have remove the manifold. What a silly design.

Thanks for the video. You read my mind - this is exactly what I wanted to do! The dark path beside my house needed lighting, but unfortunately it is also too dark during the day for the solar panels to charge the batteries properly. After getting everything wired up, I discovered a fatal flaw. The lights do not come on when receiving power. I can only assume that they think that if the solar panels are receiving daylight energy then it's not night! At the moment, the only solution is to find a way of only mains charging the batteries for a few hours during the day. To be continued...

I'm now flying the former P2-BWF in NZ, ZK-DVE. She's a good ship, wish I'd spent some hours flying around the PNG highlands. Oct 2023.

Would love to see part 2 of this, but can't find it anywhere. Can you let me know where I can find it please?

所以你坐了兩家不同公司的 請問推薦哪個

Where's part 2?!

Perfect. I also unscrewed my binding tap from the top side with no issues. Thanks for the helpful video.

Great video. Thanks for the detailed info. I found I did not need to remove the manifold to remove the valve stem. Just screwed it out in situ. Saved a lot of time. I put a bucket under the tub to catch the residual water in the line. Next time l would grease around tap and all residual water would flow into the tub. Thanks again, I would be lost without the video.

Thanks for this. Saved some major hassle.

Was it necessary to remove the cir-clip?

Good Background Musical hits

Thank you so much for this video - I have this exact SuperTub in a rented place we just moved into and this was the exact problem (but on the cold tap), and your video saved me a WORLD of pain!

Cheers mate, very helpful 👍 all my tub taps have now been serviced and working as they should

You usually only stick the names on the back of the board of the people who “up the table” (to avoid an eight-piece dicking) or alternatively the names of those who get eight pieced. So in either instance you get your shame highlighted for posterity.

Great video thanks i managed to fix mine buy removing taps from the top so no need to get under tub and remove tap body.

If you want to stop voltage drop for long runs of cable use AC volts, then at each outlet add a diode and cap to turn it back to DC.

You didnt show final product working or testing it with oscilloscope you need more work on videos

Thanks mate, just had this problem and fixed it after watching this. You are right about the design fault. The engineer who signed that design off probably working for NASA now.

My fridge wont run off my genset 4kw (so enough power) it easily runs things like hotplate and kettle so I suspect the fridge is fussy about the power, could I use this to clean up my generator power?

Hey scholes!

If the solar panel is 2v with 100 ma what dc should I use?

Awesome vid, having the same issue with my laundry tub. Will give this a shot later today.

I sent an email asking if you could make me an uckers board...please let me know either way thanks.

Don't solar lights stop working because their batteries need to changed or charged? Do they really only last 2 months and then need to be thrown away?

I wouldn't call that firewood. Nice work though.

Good afternoon. Could I have a cost to build one for my Cadet Unit, here in Sydney TS Kanimbla. I appreciate your effort in this fantastic build. Frank
