The flow rate you use is all about the look and feel you get when working,you just know when your using either to much or to little.If your having to chase water down the glass over and over your not using enough.

Turn up the flow and go man go!

Thankfully water is still cheaper than fuel!  In fact it is our fuel!  Not a drop wasted, all back into the natural cycle.

I might put that on my van....Powered by Water...What do you think?

I never understood the "I use less water than you" mentality,.... It's not a competition!!!

Personally I've tried to reduce my water usage simply so I can work all day without refilling, but I find the job goes slower if I go below 1 litre a minute,.. and normally my flow is nearly 2 lpm.

Can't remember what the flow rate is but have Varistream set at 12 0'clock position when working on own.
Use 100m 6mm microbore with Vikan brush on pole.
Usually rince brush off unless working above 1st floor.
I don't change Varistream position if on 1st clean as i find this position good for all jobs.
