Title: Flow controller
Post by: Sunshine Cleaning on November 06, 2006, 07:43:41 pm
Where do you place your flow controller?

At the end or the hose I find it keeps getting snagged. In the van and I have to keep running back to alter it.

I have two.  I have one on the van mount.  It's a non-electronic manual one.  I usually have this set higher than I need it.  I also have one on the end of the hose reel where the pole hose joins it.  By setting the van mount flow higher than I need, I can adjust the actual flow of water going onto the windows at the pole.

Im the same as paul 1 on my van system which i use to set the flow rate.
And 1 on the pole hose which i use to turn the water on and off.

I got my pole flow control valve for the pole hose from gardiners.

If you get the flow valve from screwfix, make sure that you purchase the flexible hose inserts for the valve as well.
