[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Brand new strainer pump and flow control, I ran the old pump with no strainer for a couple of months, so this was a reason why I thought it was knackard when we replaced it all I still had the problem ,

ran my reel in a hotwash system and it was perfect back in mine and we get P dead end at over 5 or 6 and flow issues ,
Once the sun came out though everything worked just as it did in the hotwash van on that cold day,

it sounds like it is what you are saying cold issues and calibration
Will play with it tomorrow or Monday back at work!

I'm 99.9% sure it'll be the pressure setting.

Yeah I think winpro is right.

I have used 100m of mini bore for 3 years now with no problems.

I use the gardiners anologue controller which is excellent for dead end calibration. Just turn a dial up and down. Really easy.

Doesn't work playing up start stop going to buy a new hose....8m

[Crystal-clear]

All I know is I plug an 8m hose and it works I plug in my minibore I have nothing but problems and I don't need this rigmarole. Its already cost me far more in down time

Have you upped your dead end psi all the way?

[Crystal-clear]

What just up the psi?

I kinda went in the huff, am also semi sick still went home ..
And have cleaning spot appointment in the morning turns out my grey varistream switch box is really suiteable for 12m!! One of the staff just sold me it without asking me what hose I use 100m of minibore..
He might allow me to return it cos I wasn't made aware and says maybe that switch is the problem?
What do you think ?

All varistreams have a pressure setting.

If you bought it new you should have the instruction sheet telling you how to adjust the pressure setting. Why haven't you done it - Winpro told you how?

[Dave Willis]

If it's like this one don't forget to disconnect the pressure pump switch too to let the controller do the pressure setting.

I have tryed. Its not working And I have been told that that varistream only works with 12m.. Is there a pressure switch that I can take away?
I'm due there tomorrow . But if someone thinks they can fix it without me needing to buy a new switch I'd like to know

[Dave Willis]

I've just given you the instruction sheet  

Your pump has a pressure switch - when fitting a Varistream you have to take the wires off the pump pressure switch as the instructions.

Your pressure is now controlled by the Varistream

However, depending on the hose diameter or length and pole height - your Varistream needs to be calibrated to control the pressure cut off point.

When this has been set then your flow can be altered to whatever you require.



There are two settings PRESSURE calibration and FLOW setting.

Once you've got them right you'll hardly ever need to change either. Normally your pressure setting might need increasing in cold weather a bit and reducing in hot weather but not by much.

Thankyou very much for your support Dave + win unfortunately when it comes to DIY I'm a nightmare,and end up driving from Surrey to Scotland to have someone who knows how to do it set it, Im gona show your post to the cleaning spot guy maybe we can set it together

[Crystal-clear]

So there is no physical pressure switch to disable i heard about that too all just via the digits?

[Dave Willis]

Oh Lord.

[Dave Willis]

"IMPORTANT:-If you are fitting the controller to a new or existing SHURflo switch pump it is necessary to
remove the wires that run from the pump motor to the pump pressure switch. Take the two wires that exit the
pump motor and join those (red to red & black to black) to the two long wires that come from the controller.
The pump pressure switch should be left in place, but it is no longer wired in. Check with your supplier that the
pump you intend to use with the VariStream is compatible."
