I don't quite understand what you are using to spray. Spray bottle? Pressure Water pump? House water pressure (hose)? If you want high pressure, I can offer some help with nozzles and selections. BTW I love my three cats! :med: |

I love my three cats too which is why I'm doing it. The smell from these other cats messing on our drive is pretty bad as well! I'm going to hook this up to the outside tap and trigger it with a PIR. I'll use a hand spray for the test and if all goes well it'll all get mounted up as a readily movable unit. I'll have to make a boot for the terminals on the valve to keep them dry as well. |

I should have said earlier that you can actually buy these. http://www.gardensupplydirect.co.uk/pest_control/contech_scarecrow_water_spinkler_deterrent/10592_p.html They get pretty poor reviews for durability and as you can see they are extremely flimsy. They aren't cheap either. This guys made one, I don't need the camera though it would be fun! |

I checked out one if my PIR's and set on the lowest time interval it's still staying on too long. 3 or 4 seconds would be ideal if I can get it. Update: I've checked another of my units and the booklet says the minimum time period is five seconds so that should be fine. The max output for the PIR says 1000w and it's only fitted with a 150w lamp so I can piggy back on the lamp terminals in the connection box. Need to buy the solenoid I've seen now. --- End quote --- A quick look in your local scrapyard for a automatic washing machine will get you at least a couple for next to nowt. I know that in my local one there must be at least 4 or 5. Just needs a philips screwdriver and a pair of pliers. |
