    Thanks, It seems to have settled down. Working fine.
    When I pulled the lever up, the pump engaged and ran, but no water came out.
    So probably not a pump issue?

    200 -240g in 30 sec is an avge baseline.

    Check at the mushroom and gicleur as to their state / condition.

    If your comfortable / competent with AC240 remove the side panels and observe the water lines for obv signs of scale buildup.
    What area of Aust are you?
    Std water is described as ( hard etc.) ?
    Thanks for the questions.
    I'll pull apart the mushroom and have a look.
    The machine looks to have no obvious issues. Photos attached.

    It's been working fine since I posted.
    The normal amount of water is coming thru. No tubes where it is less.

    I live in Sydney, just moved and had it serviced early last year.

    I'm after some ideas what could be the issue
    I have a 2012 VBM Domobar Super with a factory fitted rotary pump.
    When i turn on the lever, the pump engages, but sometimes the normal amount of water comes out, sometimes about half, sometimes almost none.
    So, I'm assuming it is a pump issue....

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance
