OPen it up and find the little dial and turn anticlockwise.

If it makes no difference turn it the other way.

If no dial to turn, put it in the bin and fit an on/off switch - flow might be a bit full on, but at least it will work.

Hi if it is digital, switch on the vairstream and hold the - & + for 30 seconds then the number will flash showing you the cut off preasure, decrease the number for a lower cut off preasue then switch off to set.

Turn the hose on to let the presure out, then press both and hold untill the display changes and starts flashing.

you don't remove the pressure switch, just pull the supply and return wires off the pressure switch terminals, cut the terminals off and couple the 2 varistream pump wires (indicated on the varistream) directly to the pump joining with a strip connector.

Hold it until it starts flashing, then turn it down to about 9 (from A, B, C, 9.) Turn it off, wait 20sec, turn it on, should work.
