Title: Flow rate microbore (alex)
Post by: Moderator David@stives on January 07, 2006, 07:08:00 pm
Can anyone tell me what flow rate you would get through 100m of microbore from gardiner through a 100psi shureflo pump as compared to 100m of standard guage.

(Alex could you have a hose 100m and reel ready for collection tommorrow)

I tested my 100mtr microbore from gardiner with a 60 psi flowjet pump and the flow rate out of the hose only was 1.7ltrs a min.

For comparision My 1/2" hose with a 60psi flowjet pumped out 6 ltrs a min.

Flow rate with a 100psi pump is quite a bit more than 60psi, I would say about 50% more. (must measure it sometime!)

Iv`e never botherd about flowrate,as long as theres a good jet out of the brush and enough water is going on the glass im happy,too much would obviously be a waste,Gaz
