Default Re: Water level indicator

Richard, I recently tried a twin jet combination intead of single jet (0,9mm -> 0,5mm + 0,3mm) and encountered a non-liner flow problem. Actually, the flow tends to burst for a couple of seconds but on a prolonged run under load the flow gets even lower to the upper revs.

On a single jet setup there was no such issue. Apart from jets and 4 mm piping to them nothing was changed.

The jets are connected via a tee supplied as a part of HFS-3 kit, after a tee there is one jet on a 7 cm hose, another jet is linked via ca 1m hose with a 15 psi checkvalve on it (also Aquamist part).

I'm now thinking whether having a 15psi checkvalve on one jet and no checkvalve on the other could cause the first jet to be blocked after the initial spray period. I don't see a good theory behind this - but this could explain flow decrease.

Did you ever experience similar issues? I'm currently thinking of getting a second checkvalve so that both jets are connected in a similar manner...
