The time of discharge lasts for 30 seconds (average) once every 100 miles.

It would be as well to confirm these figures by connecting up to a Luvax unit a pipe with the following meter valves in it discharging in parallel into atmosphere.

Size. Number of feeds.
Y.8000/64 2
Z.8000/20 1

Z.8000/102 4
Z.8000/21 1
Y.8000/47 2
Y.8000/125 2
