Varistream 2 blue dial setting with microbore.

Does anyone use a varistream with microbore if so what letter do you have it on inside the box for a quick shutoff on the pump,i`ve been playing around and can only seem to get it to shutoff at about 9-10 seconds.

That would mean using pressure switches and that`s a no no for me,to many times have i been high and dry on jobs when they`ve played up on me.The only main problem your going to get with a varistream is tuning the box with the hosereel to shut off the pump,that dosen`t stop you working.

yes cant be arsed to open it up right now and check and cant remember what scale goes up to ;D
but about a third of the way give or take
had to turn it up from B when changing the reels over as it would not switch off when connected to new reel

i also think around 10 secs is about right , if you adjust it so it cuts out sooner, you will have trouble when you want to use a higher flow rate , such as  first cleans and upvc conserv. roofs

Yes you will that`s right,i found by getting the pump to shut off to quickly i couldn`t get it to go much above 12 o`clock.
