How many litres / minute & what PSI are needed for a high volume 1" hose type wash? Planning on feeding from an IBC topped up by rainwater & backup from the well pump. Slight fall between IBC and parlour / yard. I always get confused between pressure & flow.

Numerous neighbours have been robbed aswell, the guards well you might aswell have shep on the job no one's been caught/arrested, at a stage here and rightly so extreme force is needed it's the only thing they understand justice system our lack of it in this country encourages them no end as a suspended sentence is likely all they'll recieve.... Two roteweilers here now have to chained up every night at entrance to yard to deter the bastards it sickens my stomach the necks on them
