Mine needs a flow of min 55 on flow controller to work, that's about the right amount of water  for how I work.

1st try keeping it on summer setting,and turn the heat and flow dials to about halfway. Otherwise it gets to hot and cuts out.
And try upping your flow rate on controller from 45 to 55+
See if this helps
Mine runs faultless with it set like this

Turn heat and flow setting on the heater down to half, sounds to me like the water is getting too hot and cutting out.

I have the Fogwash which is similar. You just have to find the sweet spot where it fires. You only need to nudge the flow valve a few mm the wrong way and it won't fire. Open your pole hose valve fully then adjust the flow valve on the casing untill it fires up - mark the casing. Keep turning it 'till it cuts out - mark the casing again. You now have the parameters of flow where it will fire up.
