It is a Facet look alike from ebay at about ?12.00.
As far as I can tell it is identical to the Facet in all respects except the label.
Even the photo and the accessories supplied are the same.

Thanks for that Eric. Thats very interesting.
I will have a look on ebay and see what I can find. I assume there are different delivery pressures? I don't want to overcome the needle valves in the Webers.

Alan,
The cheapo`s don`t give the pressure. It wouldn't matter, as it is only for a few seconds and I can hear when the needle valves close as the pump rate slows so I let go the spring return switch. That is why I chose that design of pump as they are known to be noisy.
I also have a Filter King regulator in line anyway.
Cheers
