Hi all just wired my new pump and varistream in already got one in van just set second reel up when I turn on its fine on no 2 it's fine 3 it's fine put it up 2 six water fires out then stops then comes out then stops yet on 2 and 3 it's perfect any ideas or does the varistream need resetting any advice please thanks andy

C'mon, Chumbuckets, help the guy out.  Or Frankie.

I think it probably needs calibrating, if you've not already done it, but if it works fine on settings 2 or 3, then why not just use those?

It needs calibrating Andrew. The pressure setting needs to be increased as the dead end is activating with the higher flow. Increase the pressure value by a couple of notches, that should do it.

Why would you want to go higher than 6? In my experience 5 is more than enough for a good quick rinse. Ours will work at 6 but not higher. Recalibrating higher uses more battery power and put greater stress on your hoses, fittings and couplings.

Good point, mine is used at number 2. I'm assuming he may require 6 because of restrictions within his system?

You are better off setting the pressure value to work in conjunction with your "preferred" & most used flow setting. This way you're not sapping battery power & pressurising the whole system up for no reason.

Ok thanks for advice I use it on 2 most of the time I was just wondering why it happened cheers andy
