If you are taking that route, you have to ensure the following if you have a system1s:

1. An inline valve must be used on system1s or you will be injecting water everytime the washer is activated.

2. You also need a repeater circuit to activate the valve whee 1s is activated.


The picture at the above link illustrated the arrangement pretty clearly.
Unfortunately i could only find some where accessable for the pumps above the washer bottle.

Im going to be using two 2d kits, if im correct i wont need the inline valve becuase the HSV' will do the same job.

So all i really need to do is position the filter as low to the washer bottle as possible, and fit a check valve above the level of the pumps in the washer delivery tube.

I was thinkin of introducing a check valve to the washer tube on a seperate circuit, so that the washers could be switched of and the washer pump could be used as a priming pump if desired. Would the activation (repeater) circuitery you mentioned in (2.) be able to do this ?
