Autobrite Foam lance...

Col...What you have is "good flow"...everyone should have between 50 and 90 PSI mains water pressure.





mark

unfortunately this is not the case for everyone Mark.

Having had 2 houses in the Country

1st Dunblane private water supply poor flow poor pressure. Indeed in the summer the spring well would dry up and we had to switch over to the Ardoch River and filter the water through our own private filtration plant. Lovingly know as the pump house. Then we had to fit laser things to the taps in the house. See folk that turn on a tap and water comes out and don't need to worry have no idea. god I remember when it was heavy rain the water was brown with peat couldn't wash you whites jeez and we are only talking 6 years back. toon folk have no idea.


2nd Muir of Ord. Mains water to the road then our own old 1950's imperial size pipes to our house just two small and restricted our flow of water and in turn restricted our pressure.

I have lived on a farm as well Fi...and my own hoose his is still outside of the town...but only just...and on a rurel postal route...

But my water supply was never as bad as yours

This has been very enlightening for me
If i ever wanted to foam my car, it's all here
Then again, i'd rather watch several dozen episodes of Big Brother on a 14" black and white portable

No...I think I would still rather foam..in fact...I'd rather foam...cut my toe nails into the quick and dance in salt...listen to Nana Mouskouri...and pay double tax than have to endure that dirge on TV

LOL, neither is mine, its to circa £50 metal job with extra foam and supersnow foam stuff mines pretty damn quick, Mini goes from HyperBlue to Fluffy white if 5 secs...... Beat that!!!

Sorry Dashik...didn't mean to imply yours was the wee Karcher one...was differentiating between the two for the good folks here.

Still haven't tried mine on my car....because BMW still have mine:(

Well thanks for that mate. Having worked for a pump company for 10 years I don't think I am mixed but it was kind of you to post. It is the difference in pressure I was talking about though. :)

Well obviously you took that the wrong way Mr Big Pumpy Bum!

If you hadn't worked for a pump company...you may have found that interesting...but obviously you took that in condescending way which was not intended. Sorry if I offended you...but no need to get all pumped up about it!

"Weir" only trying to help (Get it???..."""Weir"...Weir Pumps???)

But I felt "impelled" to...

Oh I give up!:(

Still think flow is the issue with the Gilmour...But hey...I'm only a rocket surgeon

Err..mate...I don't think so:( ...its the one that was left exactly where I parked it two days ago and nothings been done to it yet.:( Actually I tell a lie...someone managed to move it...and park the front spolier on the kerb. I'd personally like to thank that person:mad:

I never said I lived on a farm. I lived in a big HUGE CASTLE in the country with 5 acres ground and stables just off the main drive. Now lets see if you can beat that
