The battery in the back of my van keeps going flat , the green light on my controller keeps flashing green I've been told that means the battery is low on power , it's the 2nd time this has happened in a month , I've checked the reach n wash battery everything is tight but I could be wrong even on boost I have hardly any flow and when I do it cuts on and off , getting fed up now as this hadn't happened to any off my other vans , I've taken a photo so you guys can see , can you see anything wrong ? Thanks for you help

Thought it would flash green  when ok? Or show either an L (low voltage) or U (under voltage) if the battery was flat.

Have you callibrated the controller properly?

d.co.uk says that that a green flashing light is low battery and a red light is "power is on but pump has stopped

Stick a spare battery on or charge the one you've got? Red light is usually when pressure is reached. Is the pressure switch dis - connected as it should be?

pretty sure it is , as it has been working fine for a week or so

Maybe you've already answered your own post - the battery is flat?

Get yourself a multi meter, put the battery on the charger until its fully charged, leave it for about 8 hours
connected to nothing and then check the voltage.
This will tell you if the battery is knackered.
12.8 volts means its taking a full charge 12.2 volts or less and its time to change the battery.

My guess is the batterys  knackered.

Flow controllers are usually temperamental about battery condition.

Why the two negitive wires ?

Two wires on the negative usually means one is going to a split relay.

Have your battery drop tested to see if it holds charge.

Or you could just make your own flow controller with one of these:

It costs a fiver (delivered) and it's dead easy to do.  On the reverse it's got four screws for wires; two to the battery, two to your controller.  I added a simple in-line switch (£2 from Wilkos), stuck it in a box and it works lovely.

I'm no expert on DIY, yet I found this simple and straightforward to do.

It never messes me about either.

I use basically exactly the same and have done for 5 years, or there abouts.

Never had a single problem.
