Title: slight bulge in hose
Post by: LWC on September 03, 2008, 08:12:00 am
can anyone help, ive got a digi varitream and i just cant seem to get the setting right

you know when you hold down + and - togetehr and then do it again till it flashes and set it

what setting have you guys got yours on, i think mines on A, does the setting have anything to do with the bulge? and i when i try to set this, the pumps keep cycling, not like all the time just like a couple of seconds then shuts off then cycles...

If you've got a bulge in your hose, the hose has got a hole somewhere, which shows under pressure.

With my 100m minibore, I've got the shutoff pressure at 7, and flowrate 2, equates to about 1.7lpm at the brush head, but I need to fine tune it. But it works for me, there is no initial brust at the brush, and steady and even flow. I haven't checked yet how the pump cycles or anything like that, but it shuts off relatively quickly. Always make sure you lay a good amount of hose out, there is more backpressure when the hose is coiled up at the reel.

the bulge is on the outlet of my one pump, but not on the other and theyre both setup the same
