3.Check water supply volume. To operate correctly, the unit requires a water supply 25% greater than the units output. ( i.e. PW2700SC = 3 GPM, PW2000SC = 3.75 GPM of water flow).
To test water supply output;
a)Turn water flow to full maximum output.
b)Place a 5 gallon pail or container under water flow for exactly 1 minute ( 60 seconds).
c)Measure contents to determine water flow.
