318927 Water Pipe Line Installation Heating System Leakage Pressure Tester Pump

Pressure testing underfloor heating
Ideal for DIYer installing and pressure testing underfloor heating, absolutely no need to spend £80+ on an equivalent branded pump, this does the job perfectly. Only thing I'd recommend is getting a separate 0-10 bar gauge to connect to your system as the pump goes to about 50 bar so small drops at 4-6 bar on the pump gauge aren't easy to see
The cover feels fairly well made other than the draw cord which isn't really strong enough to tie the cover down tight. Water does run off the fabric quite well but any that collects on the top will gradually seep through the fabric so it's not 100% waterproof.
The seller instructed me to fit the cover in a way that water doesn't collect to prevent it leaking, but when covering boxy rattan furniture that doesn't naturally have a solid top surface all round, it's pretty much impossible to get the cover tight and flat enough that water doesn't gradually collect in some place or other, even if you stand something up in the centre to give the top some angle for run-off. I ended up making a "pent roof" frame out of some old wood I had laying around that sits on top of the furniture to angle the cover and even that doesn't stop it pooling completely.
Overall it's not a bad cover for the price and may work better on dining room sets with a large table that the cover can sit flat on, but if you're covering a corner set and expect it to stay dry enough to keep cushions underneath then I think you'll be disappointed.

Get the fanless version
Unbeknown to me some early 300 models still had fans and they aren't quiet. Fine in a data center but less so under the stairs in a home where your could hear it whirring away at night etc. In the end I sent it back and got the latter 400 model which is silent and also has faster CPU and more memory so should perform better although I'm not really taxing it.
