Title: advice needed please water pressure via with Microbore
Post by: Dazzler3370 on February 03, 2017, 04:21:31 pm

Hi all I've just changed over to Microbore, however i have to have my controller on full just for a standard 2 jet brush. I have tried my 4 jet brush and water just trickles out.
I like the fact that its a lighter weight and easier to use.
How can I get more pressure through it. Do I need a more powerful pump/LPM currently using 100psi

Cheers

Are you using 6mm bore hose?

How many litres a minute is your pump intended to produce?

Recalibrate your controller

Your controller actually has 2 settings, 1 for the water flow rate, which is the number we usually see displayed, and a second setting to decide at what pressure setting your pump should switch off. You may need to up this second setting.
