And the flow rates are -what?

Go to the orbits homepage. They have a design tool which explains all of the different flow rates of each nozzle depending on the head (psi) and diameter of your piping. What is the most accurate is the throw rate or distance for these nozzles.

It only measures the amount of gallons that go through it. It also only provides the total amount of flow. You'd have to time it to get the flow rate. It's a great little device that I've been using for months and I haven't had any problems with it.

Well the maximum flow rate is at about 119-120 gph by sliding the (intake tube to its minimal setting) you essentially cut the max flow in half since only half of the intake pipe is over the impellor. Im sure there might be a few gph + or - with the hydralics involved but 60 gph would be a good estimate ... Not sure on cost per month our electric bill hasnt swayed all that much and I have a c4 as well as a 406 canister marineland plant led's and air pumps going on 2 tanks

There are a number of variables to take into consideration when selecting a pump: Size of your pipes, length of the run, filter pressure, back pressure, etc. but on every single water pump, flow rate and pump head are the two most important specifications. Flow rate is how much water can be moved in time period without any restriction. This value is usually given in gallons per hour (GPH). Head is how high water can be pushed by the pump at full load. This value is usually given in feet or meters. As the height you're pumping the water goes up, the flow rate (GPH) goes down. So, you want to get a pump that can get the water to six feet high and still maintain you ideal flow rate to heat the water. What I discovered is that if I push the water too fast through the system, the water does not stay in the collector long enough to heat it up enough (the water cools the collectors too fast). If you pump it too slowly, then it can't keep up with the natural cooling of the water in the pool. I'm currently using an old Intex 635T pump/filter combo that I had from an old pool. The head height for me is only 4', but that pump has no issues circulating the water. In fact, I've installed a valve to slow the water down a bit so it has time to heat up while it's in the system. The key is finding the most efficient pump for the job - don't buy a giant 2 hp that you have to regulate (and doubles your electric bill), when you can get by with, say a 1/2 HP motor that does the job just as well and cheaper. I've discovered that my old Intex pump/filter combo works pretty well and is running at about 10-15 gallons per minute and the water temperature (at the return) is warmer to the touch. You might be able to run it faster, since you have 3 panels (I have only 2). I also recommend that you put a filter between the pump and the solar panels if you use another brand of pump with no filter - any kind of debris in the water could get trapped in the solar panels and reduce your efficiency and heat. I hope this helps.

Greetings; As far as I could figure, the flow rate was NOT adjustable at all. Attaching the different little spray nozzles is really the only "adjustment" available on this unit. We enjoyed it and were very disappointed when it didn't even last the summer. Hope you have better luck if you purchase!!

Yes, the flow rate can be changed by rotating the body of the unit by hand once it is in place.

With the filter in place, not fast at all. Honestly I don't use it. Without it the flow rate is very acceptable, though I don't have a GPM answer for you.

There are two base models. One has a higher flow rate than the other. That means that more water can be moved faster that the other. But both flow sufficiently well for most enviorments. The other things that are added may be desired for some applications. You need to check with you local plumber to see what is required in your area.

I really don't know. However, the best place to find out is at the custom flow website.

I think the flow rate will depend a lot on which filter you install inside it. I have used a 50 micron and a 30 micron filter and couldnt tell any difference in either one. My flow rate is not noticably diffe rent than it was before I installed the unit.

Amazing...3 answers and all of them completely wrong. The question isn't for the flow rating in liters of a 50 gpd membrane, anybody with a calculator and the number 0.38 can do that. He's asking what the flow rating is for the part itself, which should be about 4 times the membrane it's meant for. Having looked up the part number, I can say it's 550 ml/min, or alternatively 209 gpd. Sorry I'm about 9 months late :)

Nope, the flow rate is different. Read here for /lots/ more info: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2B1F0JGB32PMH/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2B1F0JGB32PMH

In my opinion it's as fast as a sprayer needs to be. I have had no flow concerns with it. That's about all I can tell you

I would say high flow. However I have since moved since installation so I am not certain anymore. I think it was a great investment overall.

You can regulate the flow by turning the "red" end. Wide open, I'd guess, 1 gpm. Great nozzles.

I don't understand the question. it seems to be a slow flow system, if that is what you allude to. water keeps running, and it will never be a heavy flow

I don't know what the numerical flow rate is but it's definitely an improvement over my old faucet. No complaints here.
