get a 500ml bottle and fill it with 1 jet. time it. first cleans on changeover you need around 2ltrs/min. so fill the bottle in 15secs. after first cleans 1ltr-1.5ltr/min works well.

I would say it this way, the water should be coming out about a foot from the brush, but experiment and you will soon get the feel for it.

I always run mine on 40, use approx 350L in a 6 hour day, for a first clean use the same flow rate i just clen them all twice with a good rinse.
Im not scared of heights, just falling from them.

First cleans always take longer and more water.

When i was using as digi control i was using 40 regular and 60 on a first clean

60 on my digiflow (pure freedom)all the time and use between 200-300L per 6 hours "on the glass"per day.
price higher/work harder!

I've got a Pure freedom 25ltr trolley & normally run it between 18 - 22.
Is this the norm for trolley users?

I have my trolley running from van connected to a 500L tank on 40 all the time, i feel it gives a good rinse and doesnt run down the pole when working at height!

some good guide given
2lt a min or a 12"-18"inches of water coming away from the brush
does depend of the brush and whicj jets you are using
as well as the pace you work

it wont take you long to find the right balance
when I use pencil jets i set the flow rate 20% lower than fan jets
