Post by: darragh windows on November 13, 2008, 08:16:31 pm
cant find the instructions for mine to check this but today the green light was flashing, i think that means battery is low but when i tested the battery it said it was strong enough same happened last week and i charged it and it stopped flashing never used to have to charge it this often is my battery on its way out or is it my varistream

blinking green light means low battery,

how often do you charge your battery,

draining it to low is no good for a leasure battery,

i charge every night , no problems,

my battery is over 2 yrs old, still going strong

red light simply means pump is not running

green.... pump running
red.....    pump not running
flashing green ... low battery

mine is the mk 11 thgough , dont know if digital is different

i think ;)

if the green light was coming on and pump was trying to pump, then varistream is set to shut of at to high a pressure,

if on the other hand green light flashing rapidly ,

it means low battery,

even with split charger, you could be taking more out than you put in,

there for slowing lowering battery over time.

If it's not sealed, check the water level. I had a similar problem and when I checked the plates were showing, a spot of DI water and it was fine.
