can you adjust the flow rate or is it just 3.5 gph. i wanting to use to add Kalk but want to do way slower than that

air adjustment valves for an air pump for your aquarium work great the same way it will adjust your air it will adjust the flow of liquid through this.

I use it for a water top off. you can put kalk in the bucket and only when water evaporates will the kalk go in there for it will go in at a slower rate. The water rate of the pump does not adjust.

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.

There was no direct adjuster on the pump itself. I ran the output thru the tubing into a small flow-switch I bought at Lowe's that has an adjuster. I just barely cracked it open and got all the way down to drip level and it worked great. You can try it on either end to see which works best for you with the pump pushing into the adjuster or pulling from it. The valves are very cheap and work wonders and makes you wonder why they weren't added to the pump in the first place. Good luck.

i use a small tube valve to adjust flow. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=airline+valve

Perhaps a high quality needle valve would work. Or a timer as JS suggested.

Flow isn't adjustable on these. I use one to topoff kalk, but on a digital timer that runs the pump for about 5 minutes at a time, 6 times a day.

That's the way I am using them (i.e. plugged directly into the tubing, although I'm using 5/8" tubing). In those cases where I am using emitters putting out greater flow (5 and 10 GPH) I use the Rain Bird MBF4PK - Full Circle Micro-Bubbler spikes to avoid "washout" (the stream of water washing out the soil). I have found that occasionally you have a faulty emitter that seems plugged up and puts out less water than the others, but this is probably less than 1 in 20.

There is a flow regulator on top (little black nob with and arrow) try changing it s orientation until you get your desired flow...hope it helps.

I put four to five holes. Start with less holes and add more to increase flow. Always start with less and then adjust as needed. Hope that helps.

I have a 27GL cube sized tank with this filter. The spraybar spreads out the flow. It is not to much current. With the water forced though the filter media, actual flow rate is half what Sunsun claims. Flow is not adjustable as is but I read online that you can buy a valve to put on the inlet hose to adjust flow.

I had a problem with a 2.0 GPM showerhead and my Rheem 13 instant on heater. If you don't demand enough hot water (.5gpm) the heater will not even come on and I had a problem with the water temp switching hot cold hot cold. I went up to a 2.5 GPM shower head and it works fine. I personally would not recommend under a 2.5 GPM showerhead. If you're just using hot water it will be fine, it is true that the lower the flow the hotter the water. But if you're trying to mix hot and cold, if you anywhere near one-third hot and two thirds cold it won't even come on with a 1.5 gpm fixture.

This item does not come with a flow restrictor. Meanwhile, the waterflow is around 2.4 GPM.

there is a flow adjustment - works great! flow needs to be set before setting up pump, a little clumsy but it works fine for my betta on low setting without any other adustments - good luck

With city water I would think you should get closer to 10 gpm. We are running 6 with #3 nozzles with only 5gpm. We have plenty of pressure with that.

I do not know the GPM, but after having for a long time now, I would definitely say it is low flow in nature. As far as the aerator, it appears to be a common one, but would have to check the threading to assure it is a standard size.

It appears that there is a flow restrictor in the spray head at the point where it attaches to the hose. I experienced unacceptably low water flow immediately after installing this faucet, so I took another look and discovered the flow restrictor. I removed the O-Ring and the little plastic part with holes in it...then reinstalled the spray head. My water flow is now just right. I went from about .9 gallons per minute to about 1.33 gpms after removing these parts.

Hi talked to tech guy at Liberty they recommended 2" for best flow but suppose min. Would be 1.5" ...for code think they will require 2" upc Hope that helps

Yes, it can be done. I've just tried - without any problems, just need to decrease flow control.

Sorry for the delayed answer just saw this. It's a slow flow. It only came with one in the box

You can regulate the flow by turning the "red" end. Wide open, I'd guess, 1 gpm. Great nozzles.

Based on my experience with these devices, running on variable speed should only change the flow rate in GPH. I run a 3/4hp pump on mine 8 hours a day in the off season and 12 hours a day in the summer. I can say that these devices make your pool more efficient in regards to how much turnover the pool has with the water. Hope this helps.

You should only have a flow rate of 1/2 gallon per minute at max. The slower you run it the better filtration you will have.
