Pure freedom flow rate
« on: October 24, 2010, 10:03:21 pm »
Hi guys

On the digital flow controller, been using around 35 for regular cleans, thinking of upping to 40/45, as I seem to be paranoid about rinsing, sometimes even rinsing double!
So just wondered what setting you guys run on?

Many thanks

Mr B
If in doubt.....Leave it out !!

run mine on 40 or 50 for 1st cleans, this will be my first winter wfp so may slow down if its icey, dont want any shattered hips!

i dont think there is major difference between 30 - 80 anyway,  only like half a litre a min,   as i clean close to glass the pressure is there

i had a prob with the battery, as the pump would lose pressure, but after putting up the cal,  i never had a prob,  but have since got rid of battery and run off the van

30 for me. Sometimes up the flow to 40 for 1st cleans depending on how dirty they are.

do you run the cables from the pump straight to the van battery terminals

I run on 25 for everyday cleans and up to 40 on first cleans. The recalibration only affects the pressure switch on the pump I think. I have a 500 litre tank and have never run out yet, though come close now and again.

One tip i'd give is to have 2 pumps installed at the outset - useful if you need to fill a barrel whilst continuing to work.

I have a p/f 25l trolley and have been using it for the odd difficult window here and there but have started to do more and more with it .... always had setting on 12 max beleiving I was saving water .... did a few yesterday with setting on 25 WOW what a difference so much faster with the rinsing and I dont think I used anymore water as only had to rinse glass for a few seconds whereas on 12 it took a few passes on a seperate note I broke it yesterday  :( well just the lock handle that is but think it was down to me lifiting trolley with full container over a load of dog poo - narrow side passage and couldnt go around it trying to save time but backfired  ::) ... will email p/f asking for a new handle telling them the truth and see if they will give me a freebie  :D
