Title: new pump ?
Post by: Ste M on May 01, 2010, 08:26:00 pm
Hello ive got a two man pure freedom, only ever used one pump, (the system was second hand when i bought it) used the other pump today and its not got as much pressure as the first pump when used on the same setting, i usually have my variflow on 6 or above and thats just about ok i find. Just wondering if the pump may be on its way out or could it be something else?

Are you now using both pumps at once, or are you using one at a time?

The reason I asked is I have seen two similar pumps run from the same battery at the same time, and one producing less than the other, and though this might have been your problem.  When either one was off, the other produced what it should.
