Hi Guys, I'm thinking this through a little prior to install ... If you're using a single nozzle system and then used a dual nozzle system ... Would the Pump pressure need to change to flow more juice for the additional nozzle? OR how does this work? I'm trying to understand how the system knows to keep up when adding a 2nd nozzle ... Maybe this is a deal where the pump knows more juice is needed and automatically compensates ... thanks, TIM Last edited by Tim_in_NC; 03-06-2007 at 10:47 AM. |

The systems just operate at a slightly less pressure. The pumps are capable of 1.0gpm Now the nozzles you are running are say 14 and a 14 add them up to 28 now thats just 1/2 of what the pump is capable of. Your not going to have any issues.

This seems to be what I was looking for - the effect of dual nozzles on pressure and resultant quantity pumped. As long as the nozzle total flow rate doesn't exceed 60GPH, they should flow their rated quantity, regardless of how many nozzles used or is that too simplistic?
