Title: varistream or ecoflow
Post by: MNWC on March 09, 2007, 07:38:27 pm
Hi all

What are the main differences between the two if any.

I know there is a bit of a price difference.

But do they do exactly the same job ie regulate the flow of water to your command by the use a flow controll valve. ??

Hi Marcus

Basically they do exactly the same job, ie, regulating the flow rate of your pump.  The only difference is that the varistream will also switch your pump off if it senses an uncontrolled flow of water, ie, your hose-end pops off.

one also has a reverse voltage sensor, so a recent thread reports

yes and that means it will do what it wants, not what you ask it to do!

wheres the imagination of the younger ones these days

if its good enough for ionics the market leaders its good enough for me, and the eco flow

sorry friday night and ive had to deal with an 8 year old approaching 15 which i think i managed  it well first time ever

so iam out of managing things now, took up all my energy

"eco flow rules"  whops did i say that   

it proberly doesnt, in my  professioal opinion ............ if it cleans, save waster prolongs life pump slows down use batterey  have a go .

Hi Marcus

What's the point of a product that only regulates the water flow but does not regulate the pressure?

I thought the whole idea of this electronic gadget was to bypass the pressure switch which seems to be a vulnerable component of the pump.

Ecoflow have recently advised on this forum that they will be adding this feature in the future.

The Varistraem works great for me.

yes eco flow will be adding this feature , but running it alongside the oringinal

the presure is avected by the eco flow at present and is reduced when the regulator is turned up and down .

which in turn will maintain a steady flow at whatever height and setting you put it at

the only reason i will be putting in the variable reaction  to decect   the rise and fall of the draw of current  is because of demand by those who use varistream and want a choice .

ive had no problems in eco flow for over two half years and neither have ionic with there control ours was bought out as a cheaper alternative  when we started up

So it will be a cheap copy of the Varistream then?

sair - I've been meaning to ring you for about 2 weeks - I'll get there eventually!!

Does the ecoflow switch off the pump when the pole is disconnected? 

Is it diode protected (to avoid destroying the internals if reverse polarised ie terminals connected wrong way round)??
