Look at the price difference? Got one from eBay , works a treat . Nearly 3 times the price from Minispares…. Shirley

I guess the price difference is helped by the low loss valve fitted to the minispares one - they are about £70 on their own

Good point Gordon. Was wondering why there was such a mark up . Will have a look at my one tomorrow and report back …. Shirley

Ah, but does that machine evacuate the system as well? If it only pumps up a failing system, then you might as buy a cheaper 'grease gun' hand held type
Forgot to add...... The little hand held will take longer. My hydro system has been up and down mire often than a whores drawers. It takes about 50 or so pumps on the grease gun type pump to set the height correct - with the drive shafts parallel to the ground.
I have heard about the 'low-loss' valve. What is it and what does it do......, apart from preventing ;low-loss'
