Two deliveries this morning for a couple of projects I’m working on.
A float valve for the swimming pool.
I’ve become tired of constantly adding water to Jan’s swimming pool with the garden hose. The heat at this time of the year means it’s a almost a daily task. Pool shops sell a “Swimming Pool Automatic Water Leveller”, but at a price exceeding $100. That seems excessive, so I’ve been reluctant to buy one. Searching online I found what appeared to be a suitable float valve (above) for slightly less than $5. I just need to make a mounting bracket from “stuff that will be useful one day”.
The second delivery was a 12V wifi camera which I intend to fit to the rear of the camper trailer. I’ve already made a mount bracket from “stuff that will be useful one day” and installed some wiring. Jan has order a switch from Aliexpress as I want to be able to isolate the camera from the battery when it’s not required. The plan is to wifi connect the camera to the head unit in the 4WD. Alternatively, I could connect the camera to Jan’s old Android tablet which I previously repurposed as my off road satnav.
