That could very well be the culprit depending on how you're capturing the output. If you're doing so at the end of a hose with a 1" input, that'd certainly be the prime suspect. CRS used to provide a flow restrictor plate (basically a circular washer but only had a 1/8" hole in it to ensure a low flow rate then went to a spray nozzle that performed similar restriction on fan spray to keep flow <2gpm). Higher flow rates work with softer water and vice versa.Well John, flow rate is not something I had considered but now that you've mentioned it, that might be the issue. I have 1" PVC feeding the tanks but, no way to reduce the flow.
The trick is to reduce flow rate as much as possible to preserve the filter media. So if you were putting out 2gpm and getting 300 gallons output, cut the flow rate in half and double your output. Most of the least expensive pressure washers put out less than 1.5 and I've got my Kranzle dialed down to 1 gpm. No need to be able to blast tar off the car and the fan spray from a p/w is essentially a 'water broom'. Hope this helps!
Awesome photo. Here's my wife and I on the same ramp probably a decade later.The wife on the ramp at Whiting Field circa 1977.
This really shows what a beast the T-28 truly was. Almost embarrassed to show a photo of us standing in front of the Turbo Weenie LOL.
I'll bet you could start, taxi and take-off in that T-44 with your eyes closed. Sure is nice when you get to the point in an aircraft when you know something isn't right b/f the Master Caution light illuminates...and there is very little it can throw at you that you haven't already seen. Missing those days for sure.
