Best result with the robot is achieved when it’s allowed to clean the same space several times.+The robot is delivered with, and shall be used with, a size 0.55 [[:parts:nozzle_types|turbo-nozzle]]. The high-pressure washer suppling water to the robot must be specified to work with a flow of 16-18 liters/minute at a pressure of 180 to 220 bars. The water pressure will drop slightly between the pressure washer outlet and the nozzle.
