Title: Pump problems - help needed
Post by: mattflashmatt on July 06, 2013, 10:00:50 pm

Hi,

I've got 2 streamline flow controllers. They've been working fine for the last year but are now not turning off quick enough after I've turned the water off at the pole end. I've looked and there is no leaks in any hoses. The pressure just keeps building and the pumps turn off but still pump for 1 second every 5 seconds. Then when I turn the water on at the pole end, it sprays out at a high volume.

Do I turn the psi levels down through the controller, if so does anybody know how to do this as I have no instructions?

Thanks,
Matt

Need to recalibrate the pumps buddy, you'll need to do it as the waters thickness changes depending on temperatures.
You'll need a lower calibration/pressure setting, so it will shut off quicker.
Most (if not all) pumps run intermittently when it hits a dead end, as its basically trying to see if it can pump...  Once you open your tap it should kick it the next time it does, giving you the short blast of pressure build up

It's the hot weather. You'll probably have to put the pressure back up come Autumn.
