Post by: LBWCS on November 28, 2010, 06:34:17 pm: I had the same problem when I had
mine.I found that it was to do with the flow rate.have a
mess around with that, both on the l5 and your
flow controller

I'm on the verge of buying one but this is the only thing that worries me. I don't like a fast flow rate. To give you an idea, using 2mm pencil jets & with the brush laid on the ground -jets pointing to sky the jets of water peak at about 18 to 24 inch.

Would this be too slow? anyone?

Post by: P @ F on November 28, 2010, 08:53:33 pm: wrightsurf , if i remember rightly , fitting flo back to tank renders your flow controller useless , is this correct , i want an easy fit , and dont want to blow my money in the morning
Title: Re: L5 CUTTING OUT
Post by: wightsurf on November 28, 2010, 09:03:48 pm: I have a old eco flow, i think ::) lol
I don't have a problem with the way i have set it up. I just turn it on and away i go .I don't stop the flow whilst working.

Is that what you ment, i can have a look at the pump controler if you want.

I have 2xshurflo 100psi pumps , varistream 2 controller , vari tech digi controller ,35psi pump , flojet 60psi pump , trolley system , T4 and a Combo , if i tear it all apart tomorrow surely i can cobble something together ;D ;D ;D
