The Ultimate Ice Resurfacer 43
When the solenoid valve is open, a pressure dierence of at least 0.5 bar (7 psi) must prevail
at the valve to ensure safe and speedy switching of the pilot-controlled solenoid. A smaller
valve on a low-pressure supply pipe with a larger water hose therefore works better than a
large valve in a small pipe at low pressure!
