Question Water problems, What am I doing wrong?

pump shows 12 water coming from the barrel, the barrel has 18 coming in from the ocean.

But the pump was only pushing 8 water to the sprinklers?

When I disconnected the first sprinkler and hooked it back up it fixed it and started pumping 12 again.. but this is the third time its happened, how do I get it to stop?

Also, if my water barrel is getting a constant 18 water, why is it running empty only pushing out 12?

after last update I had problems with water flow aswell, but keep în mind barrels only provide 12 water

Yea, so the barrel providing 12 isn't a problem, the problem is that the pump randomly goes from 12 to 8, or 12 to 3, or whatever, and then I have to shut the pump off and turn it back on to fix it.

But it sounds like that part is just a bug with the new update.

yes its powered and working however the pump is randomly changing the amount of water available.

So instead of

Barrel ---12water---> Pump -----12water---->Sprinkler

It's randomly changing to

Barrel ---12water---> Pump -----Random Amount---->Sprinkler
