With pump running, I removed the check vlave on the LQ inlet. Water stream was what I though to be very strong. Connected directly to LQ inlet and still could not keep up...flow went up to 5...but eventually dropped to 3.5. I even removed inlet float and just let water come right in...still no good.
I guess I have too much of a pressure drop across filter and heater???
Your pump height gives you strong suction for the outflow, so you are clearly limited by inflow. The inflow side of the Liquidator is driven by pressure from the lines from the filter to the pool. Where exactly is your inlet line tapped into the plumbing?
Inlet to LQ: Using the saddle valve, it is after the heater outlet just before the return splits going back to "pool return" and "spa jets".
Oultet of EQ: Using the saddle valve, it is inches before the coupling to the pool pump...right before stainer basket.
I am not home to get the measurements on the piping or eye balls....will get them tonight
