hi
who uses one ? are they better? and what advantages do they have over the previous one

digi ones are splash proof i have had one for about 3 months now but haven't used other ones so don't know the pros and cons.

My digital works fine, and has been pretty badly leaked on. No problems, works great.

[Moderator David@stives]

my digi just now has one pressure setting no matter what the read out says,

Too much

[michael papworth]

I heard the analogue dials kept getting broken, and I think the digi ones are splash proof.

This was precisely my experience.

I've found the digital to be absolutely bullet proof and, more to the point for me, absolutely foolproof.

I'm not convinced that the pressure and flow rate is uniform for any particular setting, but I do find it a lot less hassle than the analogue one that broke.

I would hesitate to say that one is better than the other. But I would say that I particularly like that the on/off button is independent of the flow control button. This, I feel, gives easier and more consistent control

use by a pass  , now that is bulet prufe

[dmlservices]

cheers for the replys , have heard the settings control the shut of point , does this also increase /decrease flow

All the settings are for is shutting off the pressure depending on the hose used,if it takes ages to shut off it`s set wrong.

[dmlservices]

but what about flow control? can you increase /decrease flow like you can on old one?

daz

[NWH]

It has buttons that go from 1-9 most people find you need no more than setting 2.

I've been told there are 3 different settings, I'll probably mistake the names for it, but here goes.

0-9(&b) : Flow rate
0-9 (pressing both + and -) : Shut off pressure
A-C (pressing both + and -) : Pump PSI, C being 100 PSI

When changing the latter two at the same time, shut if down first after changing value one , then dial in the second value, shut if off again, and there you go.

Sorry, was talking rubbish, here's the original post.

A-F is for pressure, when you drop below A the following numbers are to indicate when the pump should cut out & the normal 0-9 is flow rate. Set pressure & cut off from flashing display by selecting each one (while flashing) then switching the unit off (this has to be done seperately of course)

So, you have THREE parameters not two.

Set pressure to A, cut off to 6 & flow to 1, this works for me with the same set up apart from i have 80m of minibore not 100m.

I take it you got it sorted then & it's working ok for you?

[[GQC] Tim]

It's working very well for me now, really happy. Thanks for that Tony.

Using C, 7, and 2. 1.6lpm and no blast when using the trigger.

I must have missed that thread - how did you discover the three parameters Tony?

[craig mcneil]

These three settings are new to me as well. I've just been setting the flow rate apparently which I set to 3 or 4 usually - 7 on a new clean.

I'm very pleased with the Digital Varistream although I agree that sometimes the amount of water flowing out doesn't necessary match the setting.

It was you that told me, remember

I'll have to read my own instructions again - i missed the third one. :

What you like

I can deffo credit you with the three parameters mate
