Title: streamline digital controller
Post by: ben M on April 04, 2012, 04:41:54 pm: I have a streamline digital controller, my flow rate is 40.
Do you think is enough to rinse properly or should i increase it?
thanks

I would just say that the ideal flow rate is very much a personal opinion as it will depend on each system set up and each persons preference

a flow rate of 40 is not bad and will give you a reasonable amount of water at the brush head.

i use 100m of microbore.what hose do you use? as this will affect the flow.eg if you use minibore (8mm)hose your flow would probably be the same as mine if not a bit higher on 40!

So it shows you that every1 is diffrent need to judge for yourself if your rinsing the windows ok.
Just play with it untill u get where u wanna be.

Post by: dan hughes on April 05, 2012, 08:12:15 pm: 80m (ish) of minibore,

i use setting of 50/60 regular cleans small windows. First cleans, or big shop windows, i blast it up to 69/80. But i like full blast.
Still can't manage to change the cutoff settings. Tried and tried, they just end up ping me off,so i leave it as it is. Works fine enough.

I'm thinking that 20 would be a dribble.
