OPen it up and find the little dial and turn anticlockwise.

If it makes no difference turn it the other way.

If no dial to turn, put it in the bin and fit an on/off switch - flow might be a bit full on, but at least it will work.

Hi if it is digital, switch on the vairstream and hold the - & + for 30 seconds then the number will flash showing you the cut off preasure, decrease the number for a lower cut off preasue then switch off to set.

Ps No need to open.

Turn the hose on to let the presure out, then press both and hold untill the display changes and starts flashing.

cleanglass had the same problem and that was due to being incorrectly wired, just double check you wiring i think that will be your problem

you don't remove the pressure switch, just pull the supply and return wires off the pressure switch terminals, cut the terminals off and couple the 2 varistream pump wires (indicated on the varistream) directly to the pump joining with a strip connector.

Hold it until it starts flashing, then turn it down to about 9 (from A, B, C, 9.) Turn it off, wait 20sec, turn it on, should work.

i had my varistream decide to stop turning off my pump today, it blew the di head clean off splitting the thread leaving half in the vessell and it also blew the outlet part off the pump.....................not happy varistream is 3 years old so i dont expect help but they shouldnt pack up like that

im now leaving pump pressure switch connected
