    Started happening again yesterday. Still pulls a shot fine. Pump just goes pretty silent and gage drops to about 6 bar but when u stop shot if raises back to 9-10 bar as if that was what it really was. Still getting 30ml in 30 seconds. The only thing I have noticed is a very slight increase in boiler pressure (have not adjusted anything). Considering backing it off slightly.

    Water was fine, only difference other than normal was really hot day and water in tank was pretty warm from heat of machine being on but I wouldn't think that would cause it. Hopefully it's just a one off.

    Was it low on water? just a guess.
    Intermittent problems are frustrating.

    Update, left it off for 20min and turned it back on. Seems ok now but still a bit concerned on what caused the problem in the first place

    Just went to pull a shot from junior and as soon as the needle went near 9 bar the usual sound from pump stopped. It pumps water to group head without a handle inserted and pumps up to about 9 bar then seems to cut out. I do regular back flushes etc and steam and everything else works fine.
    Cheers
