Slightly more than I expected - £190 top end or about right? (obviously buying 100s will be cheaper!)

I've not ordered one for over a year, we have an account obvs but I can't remember the price we pay. I'll see if I can find a po.

What I don't want to do is spend so much on kit to transfer water from where the roof / main butts are to the back garden veg patch that with replacing stuff I might as well of just paid for the water (I put a tap in at the back anyway)

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

I will replace the left hose that goes up the garden with mdpe when i dig it in. ALso now have the nr valve on the incoming and will keep it on a hose so i can disconnect and drain in the cold

Optex internal PIR, painted black & slapped on the wall outside ?

Yep i added a few after my hkc test to see how others did. The optex DT is coming down the honeywell dt is moving from the front to back to check its not environmental as the sun rises that side. Ive decided the optex dt doesnt like sunlight

Not tried one. The constant is a voltek pir with a pulse count module on it. However they dont like the animal activity so i started with other things. HKC quad so far (on low sens) has the best catch vs FA) The optex is very poor as it hates the sun (i know its outside but its a dt on its lowest settings) the honeywell dt is pretty stable but still worse fa due to deer so im still testing etc
