Title: Ps flashing
Post by: j timms on April 25, 2012, 08:57:52 pm

Why does the ps light keep flashing on my flow controller. Also does anyone find a split relay on battery doesn't charge up enough. Thanks skidder

Flashing cos the battery is low. Either your SR isnt working right or your just not doing enough miles and need to charge up with a hamster wheel at home

PS means the pump pressure switch has been activated. The controller is telling you something has built up pressure in the system.
The control does not activate the pressure switch follow the steps below and this should help resolve the issue

If PS is displayed, this means that the pump's pressure switch has been operated due to a high build up of pressure in your system. The controller is set to work with a 5.2 litre per minute pump up to 100psi, although it will work at higher ranges. Common causes for the pressure switch operating are:

1. A restriction to the water flow, i.e. from a twisted hose.

2. Blocked or small water jets. (We recommended that the jets are no smaller than 2mm).

3. Grit or dirt trapped in the system.

4. Air trapped in the system.

5. Prolonged shut off of the water flow.
