Title: switch burn out
Post by: easycleanwindows on August 28, 2005, 11:50:06 am

i have been informed that you can stop switch burn out on pumps by putting a t juntion from the pump back into the tank.
has anybody done this if so do you put it in from the pump side or water output side?

You can do this by a T junction, but you need a flow control tap to restrict the amount of water that returns to the tank.

A better option is to fit a varistream pump controler,as this bypasses the switch and gives you full control over the amount of water at the brush.

I bought the flow controler from williamson pumps the best buy ever apart from WFP, controle the amps from the battery not the water flow which burns the pressure switch out

If I fit an Ecoflow to my system (and no bypass) will it still allow me stop the flow at the pole end without any damage to the Ecoflow or pump?
