can the rate of pressure be turned down to have a slower flow of steam?

The handle does contain a a + and - valve like wheel, you can adjust the volume of steam coming from the nozzle and it seems to add a slight pressure when turned up. It does not however apply pure pressure. Its a great steamer however does not work well at all on heavy greased areas such as on or around vehicles.

Yes it has variable steam control knob that you can move to provide more or less steam power. Great machine and much more better built than the MC1275.

If you raise the little pressure valve in the cover to manually release the steam, it takes only a minute or two. I don't know how long it takes by not manually releasing the pressure,as we have not used that method.

yes you can. there is a small button that with each press of the button drops in about 5 psi. it is very easy.

There is a Phillips screw for adjusting pressure on the end of the cylinder. Tighten it and it will slow it down.

I don't see why not. If you throttle down the flow rate with a valve it doesn't seem like it would hurt anything. I would put the valve on the output side.

Yes, its fantastic. I use it allllllll the time, max setting low steam. You''l love it!!

no you can't. At times the pressure would stay slow. I pulled it off and threw it away.

The lower the flow the better it works. Its like putting your thumb over a garden hose, As the water backs up It stays in the heating elements longer allowing the water to get hotter.

No, no steam is emitted without the trigger being depressed. Evaporation quickly dries wet areas. The micro-fiber pad is not designed for drying surfaces.

I find this is a noticable issue when using the high side of "Low" (the first dot). I need lower heat for my dress pants, but want some steam. What happens is no steam, followed by spurting steam, followed by no steam as the thermostat kicks on then off. The iron's thermostat is too crude to keep it heated at that chosen spot. My assumption is that this shows a swing of at least 20 degrees, and at just the spot water could become steam. It's annoying.

Yes, you just reduce the air pressure. Adjust it with the air compressor regulator.

To slow water flow you turn down the faucet pressure. To change the type of flow you turn the outside edge of the head of the sprayer.

any steam iron leaks if the selected setting is below the minimum steam setting.

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

YES! We have low pressure. It is like hooking up a power washer to a garden hose. There aren't a bunch of settings, but you can adjust it to be less intense. I highly recommend this product. I have had one for over 10 years.

I would think a lower pressure would just cause it to spray in a smaller area. Otherwise, I don't know.

The steam comes on as long as you have water in the machine. You don't have to do a "cool down" to continue. A well thought out item. Only wish the power cord was longer.
