when using a varistream the unit replaces the pressure switch.

You may have a blockage somewhere inbetween the pump and the end of the hose.

have you recently changed anything ie the lengh of your hose/any fittings...

have you checked the power?

if the battery is low then it will pulse - the varistream will pulse but the light stays green

if you have a blockage the pump stops and light goes red

I was having similar problems with mine a while back. Fixed a loose wire and then realised that the small filter just before the pump was minging too.

Fingers crossed it's working fine now. Hope this helps mate
