I'm on my way, and understand, I've rushed these three through, so they may take a day or two to work properly, but the rain will stop.

OK, 2 to Caloundra and 1 to Straddie.


Money money money....  ;D

I reckon you must be a troublemaker Oldmate - with wire gauges the lower the number the thicker the wire. 126 is V-e-r-r-y thin.  What you are showing in that pic is  about 000000B&S.
You seem to be trying to set JC up so that his customers become dissatisfied. I am sure that thin as 126B&S will be perfectly adequate and won't be responsible for a single kit failure!  ;D  :police:  >:D

Sorry mate your still not getting it.  I will spell it instead,

My suggestion is.  Minus 126 b and s which makes it bloody thick wire.  See the little minus sign in front of the 126, but your right I am a trouble maker. Want to buy some paintings?? ;D ;D

I think someone is taking your lead, I see now you can download a minute's silence on your phone for Anzac Day. (It is for charity)

Quite clever I thought.

How about an expansion pack for the fart away called the crap away? It can be installed at any campsite or family gathering and prevent people talking crap? If you can get that sorted I'll take 5 thanks.

" I live in Cairns and have been using Rain Away for the last 6 months and all I can say is that it works all the time. I am very happy with the result and would highly recommend it to any one. In fact I was even told as I was one of the first 20 customers I became a member of the Rain Away Customer Partnership Program and that I would get a new camper called a Rairage and that the Rain Away machine works better if used next to this camper. I have been told to expect the camper by 2018 and a person called Judd will contact me when it's ready. Can't wait......

Thank you JC for showing me how it works when I picked up the Rain Away machine. Putting the hose on me and then asking me to turn the machine on and the water stopped was amazing.

Do yourself a favor buy one, they really work. Heres proof, look at the photo below. After torrential rain coming I turned on the Rain Away and the rain stopped and moved away.  Unbelievable "

A very happy customer.

Hi Jeepers,

 I can see that there is a huge problem with the Rainaway unit, I live on the Atherton Tablelands, westesh of Cairns and when McGirr fired up his unit it took the rain away from the Tablelands as well.

They obviously do work , but in my mind you may want to tune them down a little as they seem to work too good and with around 90 km radius from where McGirr is I dont see the need for me to buy one.

You will loose sales if you do not down tune them, as if there is one every 90 to 100 km apart no one else will have the need to buy their own.

No but I sell 12v bibs, that have an arm attached to a chux, to wipe the dribble away from your mouth. Maybe that will work? I can do a special on them this week.

Ps jeeps, I will go halves with you as I am using your thread for self benefit and profit. Sorry mate.  :cheers:

Top idea, but I'm sorta keen on the prevention rather than the cure. If there was a product available I would be interested in getting it adapted to all Carlton FC apparel just to shut up their supporters. Mind you the amount of crap some of them talk there would need to be some serious 6B&S to stop them exploding!

In it true that the warranty department has had some claims coming in from coastal North Queensland? There is a review on productreview.cpm stating that two neighbours near cairns plugged them in just before Ita was classified category 5 and in the next 24hrs the units strangely acted in reversed and they copped around 300mm of rain? Appears they thought that using two would help reduce the cyclone effect, when it was upgraded about 30min after they switched em on.

Yeah and dont bother taking any photos either, I hear the orange one looks good.

On another note, we used one of Speewas PDFP'S at Knockwood and it worked a treat, until it filled up with water

macca


That's only a testament to the workmanship on the PDFP  .   lf its still holding water you may have a pothole    :cup:
