why?? Water flow
« on: June 22, 2012, 12:31:55 pm »
Ok, so i switch on the pump on "full" and connect a facelift brush to the hose, the pencil jets do they job, giving a good powerful blast.

I disconnect Facelift and use Unger,,,,, The Unger seems to be delivering 3/4 the power of the Facelift

I then use a Brodex and it is about HALF the power of the Facelift.


has it got anything to do with the size (height) of the poles... the length of pole hose? Or is itthe Jets?

The Jets dont appear to be blocked up?

The height of the pole will effect flow as the pump will have to pump uphill. The flow valve size on the pole will also effect the flow and the size of the jets bigger say 2mm will produce more pressure that a 3 mm jet.

do they all have the same size jets, y pieces and pole hose ? if not thats probably the reason,
try each one with all sections closed to eliminate the height of the pole as the reason.
