Title: varistrem pump controls
Post by: daz1977 on May 08, 2010, 01:20:50 pm: hi got a varistream pump control and when i connect it up the pressure is crap, but with out it the pressure is great, even when i turn it up to boost the water comes out crap, is it a knackered controller or will ther be something loose in side

Hopefully cos I have a trigger my set up is ok to use without the controller as well
