Hi all,
This is my first post, I was reading about using a primming pump on the aqaumist pump with a transitor to detect pulses then operate the washer pump, how long can you run the window washer pump for before it over heats?, or is this not an issue.
My thoughts to achive the same results, if not even more flow from the aqaumist pump with a low tech approach, would be, make sure you have an air tight tank, and run a line from the top of the tank to the intake plenum, so as the boost increases (and water demand) so does the water pressure into the aqaumist pump causing the same effect, - the higher the boost, the higher the flow of aqaumist pump.
So if your running say 20psi boost your aqaumist pump will be getting higher prewater pressure than with a washer pump.
My pump + tank is in the trunk, so I may have to do the primming pump trick on my setup, hence the top question about burning out the primming pump.
Cheers
Ryan
