GRABO High Flow

More flow, so the pump can out-run a leaky surface.

Flow versus vacuum

Two numbers describe a vacuum system. Depth of vacuum sets the maximum force on a perfect surface. Flow rate determines whether that vacuum can be maintained on an imperfect one.

A High Flow system moves more air per unit time, so it can hold a working vacuum against a larger leak — which is precisely the situation on textured or slightly porous construction surfaces.

Where it fits

Rougher, more textured or marginally porous surfaces where a standard pump cannot keep up.

It does not make a genuinely porous material attachable — see porous vs non-porous.

Questions about this

What does High Flow change?

Air volume moved per unit time. That lets the pump maintain a working vacuum against a bigger leak, which is the situation on textured or marginally porous surfaces.

Does it work on genuinely porous material?

No. Higher flow extends the range of marginal surfaces; it does not make an open-pore material sealable.
