Russ it comes back on for a split second just to test the pressure then goes off again it does this every 10 secs or so, The longer it's in this mode the 10 secs seams to stretch to maybe 20/25 secs

Thanks Chris
Thats good news then
I think I may have one of them set up - nearly
Now for number two

As Chris says it will run for a few seconds after you unplug your pole or turn off your flow.

After that the light will turn red and your pump will stop,it will keep coming on for a second or two just to test the pressure.

Hey Hey !!!
Two varistreams up and running.
I have had to set them both on (a) internal and around 12 o'clock on the dial
I do think that if somewhere in the instructions it told you that it would shut the pumps down intermittantly I would have got there a lot quicker 
maybe or maybe I was just the impatient twat as stated earlier.
Many Many thanks to all for your assistance
Cheers Russ

Hi Russ,

I think I have spotted your underlying problem. On the photos of your set-up the hose on either side of your Flojet strainer is just pushed on to the barbs not 'jubilee' clipped on. This will allow air to enter the input side of the pump (only a small amount) but it will mean that the pressure switch on the pump will never fully 'switch'.

You have managed to resolve this by means of a varistream as this works on the pole side of the pumps pressure only. I suspect that the problem is still there though.

[russ_clark]

Thanks for that Alex
You are quite right the hose is just pushed on the strainer barbs.
Thought that would be ok as the strainers are only plastic and if I 'jubileed' them they may crack??
I guess I am wrong again
Will get it done and let you know if it makes any difference.
Can you advise at all (as a supplier) re stronger industrial fittings as I use plastic
hoselocks at the moment and they may also be a source of leeking (although they do not at the moment- I'm pretty sure)
Cheers Russ

Hi Russ,

Depends what size you need.

 If they are for 1/2" hose on say a DI vessel then it is hard to do better than NITO quick release fittings, not cheap but very good.

 For your microbore ends and your pole tails then I would recommend EZ-Snap connectors or similar.

I can only think that there's a leak somewhere.
Try this, take the outlet pipe off the hose reel. so now you are left with just a couple of feet of hose coming from your pump. Start the pump, then fold the hose to stop the flow. If your pump stops, you know that there must be a leak further down the line. If it doesn't stop, then either you have wired the varistream up wrong, or the varistream is faulty.
As the Varistream cuts off the power to your pump when it senses the pressure build up, the pump can not be at fault. Dai

[russ_clark]

NITO quick release !
Rectus 21 female !
Schrader male !

Please advise where I can get supplies/ prices for these items?
Also want to upgrade my 1/2 inch hose to the best quality in my van.Any ideas where from?
Outside the van is all microbore for info.
