I have a sure flow pump controller ( the one with a blue face and has settings 0-99... )

Just wondering who uses these type what # do you have it set on?

I have mine on around 25 as any higher seems to be a bit fast and splashes everywhere, or is splashes ok?

 
Don't ave a controller, just set te pump to what feels right for me, and tats the key, what's right for you. If you work slow, having the water going like niagra falls is a waste of water, conversely if you work fast, having it trickle will either slow you down or not be a sufficient clean( possibly). When you're getting the feel for it, a litre a minute is a decent yardstick

 
I had one for a couple of years great controller i use to set mine at 32 and would put it right up on first cleans to 48 .

 
A window cleaner told me down my area he has it on 63. I said why he goes to me because i got water to waste. IF u havent go water to waste then u got to be about 20.

lol

 
I've got a flowtek remote control one,.. I use mie on about 65, but my battery is knackered so it pumps a lot slower than you'd expect with that setting!

 
As I'm only on my first time with the pole for everyone, some have been new first cleans, but have been scrubbing frames, rinsing frames, scrubs glass, rinse then rinse..

Yes mark hopefully will have an aqua in next week or 2, a nice red one to match my clx!

See for the glass you rinse and it scatters all in wee lines everywhere? And not off in sheets as I heard someone call it? Do any one ever get spotting with these as it dosent seems to rinse it properly. I seen a video someone putting vinegar in the water Nd that's meant to stop it?

 
Glass that beads is more likely to spot, as more water says on the glass, but even though it looks like its not rinsing properly it usually is, bit of an optical illusion, I still have days hen I don't feel confident with how they rinse ad spend longer, but it's not usually necessary, unless it's a first clean or hot weather.

 
I watched a video where some bloke used some kind of cloth and that turned the glass into the sheeting kind
It's brass wool podrikk, there's a tread on it ere from januaryish, apparently it won't sheet permanently

 
Hydrophilic glass sheets and hydrophobic beads,it all depends on what happens at the factory in the process when making the glass i`ve been told that under a microscope hydrophilic glass has smaller holes in the glass allowing water to sheet easier over the glass, where`s hydrophobic glass has larger 1`s allowing water to get trapped in them.This could be true but could also be completley wrong lol. /emoticons/biggrin.png
