My mate has been trying to run 200m off of the usual pump and controller (https://purefreedom.co.uk/product/100psi-shurflo-pumpstrainer-flowmaster-controller-back-plate-copy/ ) and having trouble with it DE'ing. I know a lot of these pumps say "up to 100m" of hose but I wasn't sure, if I'd seen on here in the past, if anyone uses 200m successfully?
It's calibrated and set to 30 on the controller but, when he increases the flow (say to 40 or 50 for extra power), it DE's a lot quicker i.e. every 2-3 seconds, so increasing the flow rate to push the water through quicker, is a no-no.
We tried the pump and controller on my setup and it worked fine (on 100m of hose), so can only assume that it's not a faulty pump that we're working with.
Is it just the case that 200m of hose is too much for it to work with properly?
