When I talked to Ken on the phone before I ordered he was insistent that a pressure rated pump is required I guess because of the back pressure created when the eductor is reduced to 3/8" orifice ? ... he worked it out that a Mak4 with 2 eductors would be more powerfull than with 1 ( 7 PSI with 1 eductor and 6PSI each for 2 eductors ) ... not sure how he came up with the math as he was working from a graph of head loss for that type of pump ... so all I did was put 2 eductors on each of my Mag18's as I would have done with the Mak4's
Does anyone know how to measure the output velocity of a pump ? ... maybe if Jonathon is reading this he can bring over his Mak4 and we can do a quasi-test with Mag18 on one end and Mak4 on the other ?
