When I closed my eyes last night I could still see a spaghetti of hazard yellow pole hose burned into my retina.
Thank you for the reassuring words in your last post...it gave me hope!
This morning I redid the connections from the battery to the Varistream. (It's 1.5mm multistrand by the way not 1mm as I thought before.) Just trying to eliminate any causes that end. Well, you never know. Battery still 100%.
We tested it out again as far as the valve - OK
Tested through the valve - OK
Connected the pole hose - Bit tempremental
Hmm has it got a kink in it I wondered.
So tried it through 10m of new pole hose Id got for spare - Bit tempremantal again.
So it seems to go through 100m of microbore internal diameter 6mm without a hitch and then meets resistance in a few piddly extra metres of brand new pole hose which has outside diameter 8mm / internal 6mm.
Managed to get a fairly constant flow by increasing the pressure to E and lowering the flow to 3. Not a great rinse, but 4 had too much splashback.
At that rate the pump was running very quietly so there might be an advantage in that its unlikely to ever overheat.
Cant test it out properly and actually earn any money because with all this checking/undoing/redoing I have now run out of O clips. Not going back to jubilees now!
Tomorrow the new clips should arrive. And should I live that long, I will let you know how it goes.
Thank you.
