I want to use this to feed a kid water slider. I only need very little output flow, can I control the output flow or have to do so with the input flow

Yes, you can control the output flow as well as the temp. Keep in mind though and adjust well, this puppy can put out water hot enough to scald. Hope this helps.

There are two knobs on the front of the heater. One adjusts the temperature, and the other adjusts the rate of flow.

The output flow is what you change when adjusting the temp. The slower the water flow the hotter it is. Hope this helps.

It works great. You have very fine control over the water flow. I would buy it again.

It has a switch that can control water flow in 3 options: Head 1 only; Head 1 & 2; Head 2 only. In my tests, if I switch to head 1, no water leak in head 2 or vice versa, So I assume if you want to disable and remove a head, say head 2, you can just push/pull the switch to head 1 position, turn off water and remove the head 2. If you keep the switch in head 1 position when turn the water back on, water will flow to head 1 only, no water will flow/leak to the open pipe for another head.

Yes. But, you can turn it down till you just have enough water coming out for the slide or you can turn the water off but the slide will dry up. I will be honest, it will run up your water bill like you watered your grass all season, which I didn't so I consider it a trade off. This is fun, basically easy and the kids just love it. Money well spent in my opinion....even with the extra in the water bill.

Return side, you want the pump to be throttled back from the effluent (outgoing) side of the pump. If you out it on the influent(incoming) side of the pump you could create a situation where the pump is running and not enough water to getting to it. Pumps need to have as much water available to them as possible. Not only do I run small pumps in aquaculture systems, but I am maintenance manager for a rural water district maintaining their pumps as well.

Yrs you can. Just make sure that you connect the correct sizes to make sure you get the flow you need. I currently have three systems in one with a single timer.

I'm not a pro when it comes to liquid cooling, but every pump I have ever seen runs on continuous power, so hooking it to a sentry controller doesn't make a lot of sense. Direct power from the PSU is the best route, and since variable pumps are controlled, in most cases, by a dial on the pump, I don't see a benefit or reason to hook it to a controller. Plus, fan controllers are capped at 30A, and I have seen a few pumps that run above that level, which would not be a good combination when it comes to controllers.

Yes, The Valves control the flow it has a picture of a "Turtle" for slow... on one side and a "Rabbit" for fast... on the other side. Without the valve it just pours out.

On my system, there is a little "switch" on the side of the pump which can be adjusted to a lower flow...hope that helps

It can be done but it takes practice. I bought this model because of its water capacity. I have also used the gooseneck model and its very controlled. They are both great products.

You should need nothing else. If for some reason you wish to control the flow you may want a inline valve. I didn't use one and every thing is fine.

The higher up you hold it, the faster it disappearsYou can control the flow or not.Hope this helps

If you run it wide open, probably so.But there is a flow valve (the gray lever) that you can control the flow rate.

Nope, the flow rate is different. Read here for /lots/ more info: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2B1F0JGB32PMH/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2B1F0JGB32PMH

There are no controls on the pump. The only way to effect flow is to pinch the hoses, which isn't very accurate for adjusting the flow.

It does not have a speed control. You would mount a ball valve on the output side of the pump and control the flow with the valve.

We purchased one a while ago because my wife wanted to be able to control the volume of the flow without affecting the water temperature. It works great for that. In the fully open position it doesn't seem to restrict the flow.Hope this helps. Good quality valve.
