Title: What flow rate do you use?
Post by: Carl2009 on July 13, 2012, 04:22:20 pm
I have a Pure Freedom van based set up. A 500 litre tank does me all day, though I have come close to running out once or twice. I have my flow set around 40, up from 25 a while back. So, what flow rate do you use?

we use 60 on ours.

on glass conny roofs with hardly any pitch ill ramp it up to 90 with pencils to get rid of all the anoying bits.
more water  and proper technique = less time

Fan jets, no controller so pump on full bore.

The flow rate will vary set up to set up, some will like a fast flow and set the rate accordingly others like a slower water flow.

There is no ideal rate just the flow that suits you.
