Title: Shurflo pump reading P5??
Post by: Blackbushe Windows on May 29, 2011, 03:39:32 pm

Flowmaster reading alternating between flow setting (27) and P5. Can't get it to run. Is this an error message, and if so what's gone wrong?

PS means your pressure switch has kicked in and stopped the pump - If it reads DE your flow controller has detected a dead end and stopped the pump - it sounds like you need to either calibrate your flow controller to your hose and pump and/ or adjust your pressure switch (if it is adjustable).

Do you have any set up instuctions that came with your flow controller

hope that  helps

Dave,

Yes instructions (Quick start guide) only say "Pressure switch activated or motor disconnected". Pump goes deadend as usual when tap turned off on hose, but soon goes to P5. Only way to resume water flow is to tap pump. Ive not changed anything I'm doing.

Have re-setup autocal to 30. Seems to be ok. Is this setting right?
