Hi
Wanted to ask a quick question about turf scrubber flow rates. I currently have a discontinued Clearwater cw300. For a while I have been questioning the amount of flow it’s been getting. According to BRS that still list the product, the recommend flow rate shows as 600 gph. I decided to pick up a 1in Neptune flow meter and pipes a temp line post valve so that I could set the proper rate. At first I decided to just set it at 450 gph as I don’t have a need for the scrapper to run at peak flow.
When running at just 450 gph alone. The flow is already stronger than what is capable of flowing down the screen. Like a quarter of it just flows over the edge per my video attach. Didn’t even bother going to 600 gph. If I lower the valve eventually it get to peek where the water is just barely spilling over the edges but the rate sits more at 350 gph. Curious as to why the manufacture would list such a high flow rate if most of the water would just end up going to waste.
