mate of mine as been having problems with water flow for last few days he uses a shurflo with varistream . when he turns on the pump there is only a little trickel even when varistream turned full . at first i thought it was air locked but it wasnt . it wasnt pressure so what could it have been ???

have you tried pulling all the hose off as on mine sometimes the hose on the reel starts to collapse and this restricts the flow
