How to calculate Flowrate in Litres Per Minute, using a bucket and stopwatch:

Before installing your new EZ-Flo system, it is vital to ascertain how much water is passing through your system and making it onto the garden.

Steps:
1. Connect desired watering appliance (such as hand nozzle, or sprinkler) to your hose.
2. Prepare bucket and stopwatch.
3. Open tap fully, and place in bucket when full flow is achieved.
4. Start stopwatch, then fill bucket.
5. Stop stopwatch when bucket is full.
6. Close tap, and set aside bucket.
7. Use the following formula to work out Flowrate: LPM=10x60/T

Explaination: Litres Per Minute (LPM) =
10Litre Bucket, multiplied by 60, divided by seconds taken to fill bucket.

Example: 10x60/50=12

"If a 10 litre bucket takes 50secs to fill, your flowrate is 12 litres per minute"

For best results, perform this test multiple times throughout the day, and use the average flowrate between tests.

Use this known flowrate to set your EZ-Flo mixture ratios correctly.
