Same as you but on setting 5 I do use 6mm hose though if that makes a difference

8mm microbore , set at 3. good flow , work quicker

Hi
Also have 8mm minibore. For me 3 is not quite enough and 4 is too much. Mostly use 3.

  It all depends on the flow rate of the pump, not everyone has the same flow rated pump, so the info is useless.

  I have gone back to my original varistream, one from the original batch of 100, it has the manual dial button on it so i can fine tune the water flow to exactly what i need at the time.

  100psi is not the flow rate, it is entirely possible that my 100psi surflo has a different flow rate to yours.

Thats right , otherwise he could not use number one..... mine is the same pump and i use number 3 ....


1. would be nowhere near enough for me.

Not really, depends on what the water has to go through right up to & including the jets!  Hose length & bore, connector bores, jets type & size etc.

Your "3" might actually be the same flow rate as my "1" at the brush!

Hi I use 3 for 90% of work 6 on the rest!!

Never! Surely pressure & flow rate are the same thing? :

No.. because it would depend on the diameter of the pipe

I give up!

It depends on how my Varistream is feeling on any given day.
The setting maybe fine today, but for some reason will have to be changed tomorrow to give the same flow rate.
I now charge my battery every night but it makes no difference, seriously considering putting the old Varistream back on, as I had more joy adjusting the blue dial on the inside.

I was nearly driven to despair once, but found the problem was a kink in the hose, just where it joins onto the garden hose bit in the centre of the reel.

no controller just run my pump on full power,
