They were no help to me!
Told me to get in touch with who I bought it off, and they wanted the varistream and pump together so they could "bench test" it, yeah right like I'm gonna be without a pump for a week ::)

I think it's probably your battery that's low or on it's way out.

Get it checked out properly. Make sure that the voltage reading is taken with the V/stream turned on.

Yup had the same response from the manufacturers when mine seemed to be playing up so I got on to my supplier who sorted it out straight away for me. They sent me a replacement out the same day and I sent mine back to them for inspection and swapped it back after fixing it.

yes i was told that if the light flashes it is the batt that is low or flat
the thing was that i had charged the batt  and still flashed?
this thing that was wrong was my batt charger was the wrong sort    not a deep leisure charger   so spent £50 and got one    all charged and working fine
hope this helps

Just a thougt, if you paid via Credit/Debit Card it will show up on
one of your Statements, this can then be used as Proof of Payment.

As a stop gap, take the Varistream out of circuit, replace the pressure switch on your pump and carry on working.  This gives you a breather to send it off to be checked, etc.

It wont be the pressure switch on the pump as that would stop power getting to the varistream = no lights at all.

I had the same problem, the light flashes when there is not enough power (low batt) but also too much power.  Measure the voltage on the terminals of the battery, if it's 16v or more that will be your problem.  Too much power.

How is the battery charged?  I have a split charge relay that kicks out too much juice.  It would work before a journey but not after just flashing green light.  So solution take the fuse off of the relay.
