Upping flow rate...recommended setting

As per earlier post on benefits of higher flow rate, I am using pure freedom digital controller and have upped to 40 recently, but still feel maybe 50 will mean one quickrinse and on to the next window,rather than two rinses(bit paranoid about rinsing)
As I have some water stored, usage not a major issue, obviously it's more costly on the water bill, but hopefully faster cleans will more than compensate.
So guys what kind of settings are you running at?

i use a purefreedom setup and find the 35-40 setting just fine i would not want to go as high as 50 the more water you use on the top the longer they will be dripping on the bottoms i know you can use the brush on the window sills but you still have water on the brick work dripping down
but i may be wrong as im still new to all this

Mr B - are you pencil or fan jets ?
if fans then turn up flow until you get 2 really strong 'fans' that when on the glass sound like an F-15 flying over yer head at 100 foot.
i have an old dial flow controller and it's set at 3/4 speed

Many thanks guys,
Will whack it up to 50 , then go higher if needs be.
Biggest prob I think is I still hanging on to the trolley mentality, no disrespect to trolley users but you kind of try to conserve as much water as possible.
I was advised to use 30 setting when PF installed the van mounted tank!
Looking forward to trying next week, my theory is more water on initial brushing will flush most crud away, whilst quick rinse get rid of any dirt remaining in the water left on glass after brushing.
