I never get wet it hardly splashes back at all, quite a lot of people don't use a controller.

OK let me explain ...

I have a tap between the microbore and the pole hose - when I want to lower the flow I just turn the tap a fraction.

No flow controller. Had one. Don't need it.

Its not a 'Flow Controller' it simply controls the flow.
Gold will be along to explain!!

So am I right in thinking all those who don't use a flow controller are also not on a water meter ?

I don't have a water meter buy I am di only so I use less water than if I used an ro

gold how much water do you use a day ? and how many hours you do a day

I know what your saying because I have a tap (I guess) in the same place as you, we just use a controller to restrict the water from full speed (saves water and time controlling the flow) we tend to use the tap mostly now just to turn water off.

I am not on a water meter either but do have an ro and a need to conserve water because I am street parked and live in a flat so cannot always fill up every evening easily (650 tank)
Do you have di after the tank and pump on your van ? (as I do )
I was told the slower you can run the water through the di the longer the resin will last.

As I said at the very start, someone else who doesn't understand how an electronic controller works.

It's not all about flow Gold! BIG ROLLEY EYES

What is it all about winpro? - educate me why I need another one.

Malcolm my dear. As you know, god created the whole world in just 6 days. On the 7th day he rested.
Now, I'm good but I'm not that good!

[Dave Willis]

Gold, do you have a bypass?

[AuRavelling79]

Gold, do you have a bypass?

My Mum had two separate ones - kept her going an extra 15 years!
And there's one around Avonmouth village which makes it a lot nicer place to live.

Oh ... 

No I don't Dave, (tho' I have used one in the past) I use the flojet pumps and I get scrap batteries and use a smart charger overnight - as mentioned I have quarter turn taps on our belts.

I found my old analogue flow controller a hindrance - you'd have to wait a few seconds for pressure to build up if you turned it off for any length of time, it could be temperamental and I no longer use one.

All flow control (as in amount of water from the brush onto the window) is from  the tap. So if I'm doing a few houses and one has say some old georgian windows or a leaky door I just set the tap lower and then go back to full pressure which is my default setting.

[Dave Willis]

Mmm, so if you turn the tap off you are relying on the pressure switch to come in and stop the pump?

I've always used a controller ever since I was born a cleaner. Had two crap Varistreams last year that gave me no end of problems - bought one after another about £160 then had to buy another from Gardiners to sort the problems £80.
So that's £240 I could have saved by not using one in the first place 

[DG Cleaning]

I use a tap as well always turn off between windows and not had a problem with the pressure switch as yet. They're very cheap to replace anyway

[Dave Willis]

I use hot water - so I don't think I could work without a controller because the DE setting needs to be adjusted to stop hoses expanding with the heat. Could be done with a bypass I suppose.

[Tom White]

Mmm, so if you turn the tap off you are relying on the pressure switch to come in and stop the pump?

We've been using two pumps like this for about a year now; no problems.  No problems with the battery either, however the flow controllers we had would mess us about with the battery (and we're still using the battery without a problem without the flow controllers).

The pressure switch works brilliantly; just as it should.

[AuRavelling79]

Tosh - you using flojets or shurflos?
