For demonstration purpose - what is the minimum height/head and flow rate required? and also is the power wheel &amp; enclosure made of plastic? what type

The flow is actually determined by the head of the water since the diameter of the nozzle is fixed, and the maxium velocity is determined by the head of water: v=(2gh)^0.5 I haven't checked how much head, but it must be between two or three meters.

The device is about a foot tall and made of a thick and sturdy plastic. You will need to attach to a garden hose to get the required flow.

They run off a small turbine generator in the unit itself. No outside power source is needed. I returned the unit I purchased because the valve assembly was not completely milled. There was no way to connect it to a water supply. Also the instructions are entirely in Chinese.

There is no amperage or wattage or horsepower rating. It is only a plastic storage box for three discs that go into a Cuisinart Food Processor. The plastic storage box has a plastic door that pulls open and pushes closed. It is easy to store discs and to have easy access to them when you need them. The disc holder also stacks nicely on the kitchen counter, with another disc holder, if you happen to have more than three discs to store. Best wishes for your purchase. I hope this helps you.

I'm using one currently for my bike with a gravity fed system. Just make sure the flow path is all downhill.

geez. what is the point of "answering" the question with "don't know"?The 260 series impeller is "Engineered plastic with metal insert"

It's small in diameter too, like standard air tubing. How are you planning on using it for your project?

I have noticed no flow restrictions, and I have used it with a 4 gpm gas pressure washer with no problems! I have had several of the Sun-baked plastic reels in the past where the handled broke(sun-baked) off or started leaking internally after only a short time of use. This one has an aluminum leader hose attachment instead of plastic. This one is also heavy enough to allow un-reeling without tipping over. Get this one, you will not be disappointed!

I don't know what the minimum horse power is needed. We use a 1 horse Hayward Superpump in our system. Hope this helps.

I use a 1.5 HP pump. I am not certain of a min. pump spec, but feel certain that 1HP would be sufficient, also.

Thanks for your reply. My main concern was restriction to water flow due to the valve mechanism. Another reply specified that the restriction at the valve was about 5/8 inch which is larger than the one I viewed at Menard's.

While there are no speed settings, you can put a ball valve on the output. Doing this will give you flow control. Never restrict the input.

1. Search "watts" go to contact us call them2. Make one. Buy Y valve and plastic hose cap. Drill hole in plastic cap( 1/32 ). Measure out flow from hole at normal pressure 5 to 10 gal in 20 minutes is good. If flow is low drill another hole and remeasure. Repeat until you get 5 to 10 gals in 20 min.

Def not too much flow..very adjustable to suit your needsI have mine in a 20L with a hydor koralia also.I also have one in a 29 bio cube I like this wave maker a lot

From my experiments, I have calculated that this 50 GPD Flow Restrictor produces a flow rate of about 442ml/min. Reducing the flow of the water source produces the same results.

Plastic. Be prepared to have low low flow to get any performance out of this one.
