What speed do you run your pump at?
« on: November 26, 2009, 06:56:14 pm »
Hi,like title says,what speed are you running your pump controller at? Mine ranges from 1 to 99 and have been running roughly around 30/35 but the last couple of days have up'd it to 50,sometimes 60. Uses more water,but find it rinses those annoying sticky bits that get stuck in the water so much better. Damn things,seems to spend all days chasing 'em down the window  >:(

Soz,should have been clearer.
It's the pure freedom one,but have seen several other types of controller the same.

I have the same controller and Pure Freedom recommend a setting of 20-30

I use my controller on 45, Andrew McCann told me to use it on 22-25.
I found this was slowing me down, so cranked it up to 45.

45 minimum.

If Im in a hurry or feel generous and want to just be hasty I have had it up to 99 before now  ;D ;D


Defo turn it up for new cleans, generally at least 60 for them.


I seem to remember at 50 its a fraction under 2 litres a minute with 6mm internal diameter hose.

That sounds a better pump than the one I use. Where did you get it from?
