Precision Flowmeter Control Panel for GT 500
Each GT 500 direct feed unit is equipped with a selectable flowmeter panel, providing essential control over water flow and fogging output. These panels are constructed from durable stainless steel and feature a clear polycarbonate flow rate scale, allowing for easy and accurate monitoring. Designed for optimal performance, the flowmeters require a water supply pressure between 10 to 100 PSI. It’s important to note that lower flow panels enhance efficiency by reducing wastewater percentage, resulting in a drier fog, ideal for sensitive applications.
