    Pump to generate vertical stream of water from nozzle.

    @LittleInch Thanks for the reply with more detail. I don't have much experience with pumps as you can probably tell but this still felt like one of those conditions where real life =/= textbook ideal conditions for things to work nicely. Again probably just my understanding causing that feeling...

    Pump to generate vertical stream of water from nozzle.

    Thanks for all the replies! I purchased the pump and tested. It far exceeds the required minimums for the spec. The spec doesn't call for a continuous aligned flow column of water, only a jet of water exiting a 6.4mm nozzle achieving a height of 6m. To me that says it can be spread out as long...

I have tried going through the equations etc. (about 1 year ago, don't have info now) to create a calculator and it seems that there is not enough information to fully define a thread...

Anyone know of a good source to rent a machine? I'm in Southern California and will be heading to China in...
