Title: Struggling to get water up the pole ... help !
Post by: Blue Frog Systems on December 21, 2010, 11:17:46 am
Been out today cleaning...

First job the water was really struggling to get to the top windows... when i brought it down it was fine and running nicely.

The pipes werent freezing up, just seems as though the pump is struggling to get the water up. Its a standard house (ground floor & 1st floor) that i was cleaning.

Im using a varistream thing (the dial one) and a 100psi shurflow pump. I know what i would have done when i had my digital varistream.... turned up the cal as i know that increases the pressure if your struggling to get the water up there.... but i havent got a clue how to do this with the dial version

Can anyone help me ?

The pressure switch is inside the box.

If I remember right its marked a - h.

Turn that up. It does involve taking the thing to bits though.......

I expect it is freezing up.
It doesn't just suddenly stop. There's a build up of ice inside which makes it harder to flow, so it slows down gradually.
