It is the switch that burns out, the pump is still ok.

The varistream bypasses the switch, so you could stil use the same pump also being able to contol water flow from a drip to full flow.

Have a look here for an explanation of why the pressure switches burn out and what the Varistream does

We are doing them at £64.00 plus VAT and delivery.  

Have a look at the contact page on the site if you would like one from us. Its a very good price indeed.

had the same problem myself with my shurflo pump
because i down down the flow on my hose pipe i burnt it out

cost me £24 to get repaired and i now use a varistream which has rectified the problem
(you learn by your mistakes, should have fitted 1 in the first place)

We can take payment by card over the phone, cheque or any other method. We even have a paypal account but would have to charge a small percentage to cover their rotten costs. Delivery isnt that much at all..  whatever it is via the mail. Just cant remember right now coz i am at home... sneaked away from the office early today :)
