Mjello Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 When you have a pipe systems with 2 small consumers. Less than 1 kg a second. This can slow down water movement to a crawl even though the pump is barely used. So even when a pump can deliver 10 kg. flow it is reduced to around 3 kg in the example attached to this post. It seems to me that water should be separated 1 kg. each side pipe, 8 kg. moves on in center. See example below. Right now it goes pipe1, pipe2, pipe3 in 3 way junction in turn.

BlueLance Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Yeah the other issue is even if it only pumps in 1kg or less per second I am pretty sure it still consumes 240W.

Riateche Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm also suffering from this. If I have a pipe junction where one pipe leads to a slow consumer, the other pipes start to receive little to no liquid. Deconstructing the pipe to the slow consumer magically gives all 10 Kg/s liquid to the other pipes. I have to build pipes so that it goes to the fast consumers first, which is sometimes very inconvenient.

That works really well My pipes are crowded enough as is. Must have been playing too long ...
