Adjusting Flow Rates
Flow rates of the water and concentrate are adjusted based on the desired ratio. For example: if the desired ratio is 5:1, then the flow rate of the water is 5 times that of the concentrate.
If the desired finished drink flow rate is 3.0 ounces per second, then the water flow rate is 2.5 oz./sec. and the concentrate flow rate is 0.5 oz./sec. (The water at 2.5 oz./sec. is five times the 0.5 oz./sec. con- centrate flow rate.)
