Please help me!

I have a DC 6000 pump hooked up to my Apex. All of a sudden the flow automatically slows down then speeds up.

At first I thought my sump low float valve was the cause and it was stuck but it was just fine. So then I thought that the pump was getting clogged so I took it out and I replaced it with my temporary AC pump. And guess what the AC Pump started doing the same thing!

I decided that it must be the Apex somehow was causing it so I unplugged the AC pump and plugged it in a regular non controlled electrical house outlet and guess what the flow is STILL slowing down then speeds up!! I can't for the life of me figure out what is going on!

The worst thing is that it's causing my ATO not to go on at all!

Has anyone have any ideas?
