You need to give a link to the machine it's hard to identify with just a picture.  Is it a Honda engine & interpump or a copy?

That FSC  look expensive with the water broom fixed to the front, do you really need this type of FSC? I would go for a smaller FSC  considering that looks like a 13 HP or smaller machine it might not be suitable to run a big FSC

Just re-read your question...... Have you already bought this machine? If so my advice to buy a different FSC is pointless :-\

Thanks for your reply . The machine is a Honda gx390 with a flow rate of 21 litres per min . Not to sure about what the pump is but it can only be suction fed if that helps !

The bar on the front of the Fsc is a complete waste on time

I bought the exact same machine from the same place last April Del Boy. Great piece of kit and you will be able to handle all domestics no problem. I upgraded from Honda gx390 15 Lpm to Honda gx390 with 21 Lpm and it powers the fsc a lot better. Only downside has been with it using more water per minute I sometimes use more water then I can get into my water butt so have to wait for it to fill back up before I can go again but performance wise it's sound!!

I also bought the dual tech fsc but the 18 inch and don't really use the front bar to be honest so would get an ordinary one if I were to buy again

I've had  that at machine and the same size FSC , the reason it's not a good match is the rate of speed you can use it, you need to move Very slow otherwise it does not clean or you find yourself going backwards & forwards constantly. Just because its big does not mean its quicker.

It also will not touch the weeds, you will still need to go across the full drive again to remove all the weeds it  missed.

i was looking at the 17" one with just turbo nozzle on front.would the 17" actually work better due to being smaller

Ask your wife size doesn't matter :D

This is an old video of mine using a 12 inch FSC, (it worked quicker that a bigger 18inch I also had)  and I preferred to use this one.

Ignore the water comment at the beginning, I now know this is not true..... I miscalculated  :-X

That's an interesting head, anyone know how much it cost? And what psi/flow rate it requires.

I need a new turbo lance head, mine it not the right size, it returns half the water back into the tank.  I  did fit 2 heads onto the lance but it was not that good
