Morning. I have taken the plunge (expensive plunge!) on the demise of my wp26 torch, and taken delivery
of a CK wp20 with 8 meter flexi cables and a brand new water cooler ( Thanks Tom)
The torch is nice, much smaller than I imagined, it's not going to make me an ace welder but it's certainly going to help.
My issue is that coupled up to the cooler, I'm not naming the cooler as I don't want to undeservably tarnish a brand on the web.
When all coupled up I'm only getting 1/2 a pint a minute flow, I've tried a pipe on the cooler outlet straight back into the tank and it's like a hose pipe flowing, but when I blank off the output with a pressure gauge I'm only getting 14-15 psi from a cooler that rated at upto 47psi.
My question is should I be content with 1/2 pint flow per minute and if not, is the pressure not man enough to handle a 8 meter torch, or should I be asking if my torch has a restriction ( ok, 3 questions). Any advice? Cheers, Ed.
