Have you changed the fuse lately? Change it see what happens.  I once had a fuse that was faulty the metal teeth had like a calcium/powder on them  and that gave me troubles like what you have been having not enough power getting to the vari stream. Does the light kepp flashing when your having troubles?

wewll had a look at the pressure switch and there is 2 wires coming out . 1 goes to the top of the pump aND THE OTHER GOES TO THE VARISTREAM .  so i disconnected em and the pump wont work at all  ??? so put em back and its back working but still only on 4 .  ??? repressurised the varistream on every number and ended up lon 9 as that is the only number to push any water out  . so i am at al loss . any of you brainboxes got any idea . i know i should probably just buy a new pump controller and battery but its probably just a simple thing .and i am from yorkshire so i am a tight git b ;D

if you connect the 2 wires together you will just bypass the pressure switch

Possible that the pump is worn out. Useful to have a spare anyway so try changing pump.

Do Varistreams also suffer wear issues? Maybe after 4 years it's had it.
