But with a decal, 5 lpm would show up as 10 lpm. That would mean if you are reading 8 lpm on the decal, the flow meter itself is actually reading that the machine is putting out 4 lpm. That is strange. Maybe someone can explain to me how that works.
They replace the light plastic ball with a heavier metal ball of the correct weight for the new reading. If you increase the weight of the ball, you change the amount of flow it takes to float the ball. I had the same question and asked.
