I am not able to restrict the pump flow by inserting a valve in the hose line as this will cause the pump to cut out. Is there anything else I can do other than replace the pump for a smaller one.
Please help.

HI CHRIS I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH WAS DOWN TO TOO MUCH POTASSIUM IN THE WATER, IF YOU GET YOUR WATER TESTED BY A LOCAL AQUATIC CENTRE SPECIFICALLY ASKING FOR THIS TEST THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS REQUIRED IN THE FILTRATION SYSTEM. MINE WAS A PRODUCT THAT REDUCES THE POTASSIUM AND OTHER ITEMS ALSO HELPING REDUCE ALGAE.
