you probably need to tighten the hose going into pump from the tank as a loose hose will draw in air

Knock your cal up to 50, and make sure all connections are tight.

I had a problem similar to yourss and found doing the above solved it :)

I would first test for airlock in system and secondly check battery is full or holding charge and thirdly check the variflow whether it is running the pump at the speed it should be pumping out and check pump for any debri etc ;D

Thats what happened to me between tank and pump, no visible leak as it was sucking in air rather than leaking water.
