reducing the pressure of a 100psi shurflo pump
« on: April 25, 2010, 07:28:50 am »
Hi all,

As the title says, is it possible to turn the pressure down on a shurflo pump, I'm sure I see something on here once but can't any info, I sue the pump with a controller but could do with turning the pressure down.

Many thanks,

Gordon

i AM SURE A FLOW CONTROLLER WILL TURN THE PRESSER DOWN AS IT SLOWS THE PUMP DOWN.

Hi Richard,

Yes the controller does slow the pump down when switching off, it's more burst of water when I turn the tap on, and also to take the pressure all the connection that I use.

If it is a Varistream flow controler you can set the cut off presure.

But depends on the type you have to how you do it.

With this type you have to open the front cover by undoing the 4 screws. Then you will see a blue dial, with A B C etc on, turn this back toward the letter A one letter at a time, and try each letter is a lower cut off setting.
