« on: 13 April 2018, 02:09:12 pm »
Hi there, anybody out there got a reasonable vacuum balancer to sell or lend or is it possible to hire one.
I am based in West Lancs, Southport, Ormskirk area.

Snap, same as that, £37.99 on eGay. Bought them 3 years ago and I might get round to trying/useing them one day if the FZS ever runs lumpy.  :lol 
I took them out of the box to look at them when the were first delivered and they have never seen the light of day since. They look well made and good quality.
Someone said it is worth getting better inline valves for them as the ones supplied are a bit naff, good quality fish tank air line valves are best
