expansion vessel pumo

[hellfire]

after some advice
need a new pump for re pressurising expansion vessel which one would you recommend
also do you use a pressure gauge or pump to test vessel

I use a Regin pump. The sort with the foot plates on. It has a 2m long hose and a pressure gauge on it aswell.

Mine is a usual car type double foot pump with an adapted 2.5 ish meter lead , so its solid on the floor as you pump it , but I do like the type Darren ^^^ uses

I also use the Regin one. If you buy one of these go to city plumbing. Massively cheaper in there than plumb centre.

I got the Regin as well and also a small digi pressure gauge from Halfords (I think)
Used to use a double cylinder foot pump, but the short hose made it hard work on the arms
A stirrup type pump is the way to go

I use the Regin foot pump one too. I won one of the Regin rechargeable pumps its very noisy. I prefer the good old foot pump.

I won the Rothenburger cordless pump in the xmas raffle at M&R's (local supplier) used it twice and put it back in it's case & retired it to the back of the lockup. Absolutely useless, a 5" hose that doesn't reach the valve, battery lasts about 1 min and it's really noisey. I'll stick to my Regin stirrup pump.

Regin stirrup type for me to, just use a tyre pressure gauge for testing the vessel
