Hi all. First, I just want to say I like FRC and all of it's products. This is just a question to better understand their products we are now using.
We recently bought a 2006 Seagrave with a 1500 GPM Waterous pump with a FRC Pro-S governor. This is all new to us, as our old rig was a 1984 Mack 1250 GPM Waterous pump with none of today's technologies.
Can anyone tell me if it is normal when you have a change in pressure / flow for the rig to begin reving up high - around 1600-1700 rpms? If so, why does it do it? Is it trying to keep things balanced at the PSI you have it set for?
Also, while on the topic of FRC devices, we have the Insight Ultimate flowmeter/pressure indicators. Anyone else have these and if so, do you get what seems like impossible / inaccurate readings? We get GPM readings on a few when the valve isn't even open. Also, on occassion, we get no GPM readout.
Thoughts? Anything is helpful to me, it's a new rig and I want to know as well as I did our old one. Thanks!
