Misting Pump

TonyT · 07-13-2009, 01:24 AM

Quick question for you guys. I just got a diaphram pump off of a soda fountain that is 90 PSI and 1.6 GPM. It was free and thought I could run some water through it and clean it out. Will this pump be strong enough to run a misting system and if so, any ideas on how many nozzels? I appreciate any help with this.

Depends on your nozzles. Find some ratings for the nozzels you like and calculate thier flow rate @ 90PSI. Stay under that delivery rate and you will be fine.

Thanks for the help Justin. The nozzels are 45PSI so I should be fine. I figured it would be ok just wanted another opinion.
