Pump cutting out
« on: September 23, 2011, 12:34:03 pm »
Hi ,
my pump keeps cutting out, battery is charged. It starts up again and then cuts out when it feels like it , then restarts when it feels like it. Any ideas what it could be???

Thanks Dale

is there  a long gap between stopping and starting again,  as sounds like a pressure switch problem
