Bump.

Bumpy around here, innit?

The problem won't be the Shurflo - £ to a penny it's the 'digital' varistream playing up.

Check out the blue dial inside and turn it this way and that in an experiment to find out why the hell it's ruining your life.  Well, it seems like it, doesn't it?  You don't need this kind of carp.

Check the varistream first.

my digital varistream dosent start straight away it take a few seconds before the pump starts. but if it dosent start at all then look at the varistream, i rang williamson pumps once about a unit i had and they are very helpful and gave me loads of advice. i would ring them if you get stuck

As usual it's the controller at fault.  Why does anyone use them anymore?   ???

Think it might be down to the cali might be set to low to start pump back up. My flow rate is set at 80 and my cali is 30 as when I first had the digital variflow I had it set to low and the pump wouldnt turn on straight away. Its more like a hit and miss, so try setting the cali up different until pump comes on. Hope this helps.  ;D ;D

nothing wrong with the controller,just needs to be set up right.
