Title: Higher flow rate in high temperature
Post by: Mr Sparkle on July 18, 2013, 09:03:16 am

Hi guys.

I'm finding I need to be using a lot more water in this hot weather especially for rinsing .
Leaving marks otherwise.
Anyone else finding this?

Feel like i'm working in spain not west midlands by the sea  ;D ;D

yes mate i have the same problem found myself working on 40 on the flow con and stood there thinking i,m going to be all day at this rate.

 so what i did today was bypassed the flow con and worked on full pressure and by god it was out off this world reminds me of the good old days when i worked like that all the time

 i did find that i worked faster and the windows came up A1  so if i can change the tank i have from 350l to a 500 i mite stop on full pressure until the winter then reconnect the flow con.

I always run my digital Varistream on 8 so plenty of flow and I work a lot faster with fan jets and am amazed of how little water I actually use! :o

If you work with a mega high flow Daz then why not just ditch the controller?
