you probably need to tighten the hose going into pump from the tank as a loose hose will draw in air

starting from the tank outlet disconnect everything -retighten everything,use ptfe on all joints ,threads etc work your way up to the pole/brush dissconnect the y piece / tubing blow thru it  and pump water thru srr how it goes ;)

Knock your cal up to 50, and make sure all connections are tight.

I had a problem similar to yourss and found doing the above solved it :)

yup I think ur cal is too low at 25 try 50 as bluefrog said ... had to alter mine when I started using a longer pole as system was getting false dead ends

I would first test for airlock in system and secondly check battery is full or holding charge and thirdly check the variflow whether it is running the pump at the speed it should be pumping out and check pump for any debri etc ;D

Thats what happened to me between tank and pump, no visible leak as it was sucking in air rather than leaking water.
