Flow Rate Information:
Different sized connections to your softener will affect the rate of water flow. The best flows are achieved with rigid pipe work, this offers the least resistance to the water. Using flexible hoses reduces the flows as the internal bore is smaller than that of rigid pipe work. In most cases such as homes with Combi Boilers & Gravity Fed (tanks in the roof) systems hoses a quite adequate, however on installation with Megaflow type systems where the highest flow rates are required the best results will be achieved by using rigid pipe work.
Standard hoses 20 litres per min, 15mm pipe 25 litres per min, 22mm Hoses 30 litres per min, 22mm pipe 40 litres per min |
