    +1 on above

    the GSP will tell you if its happy by opening fully most days of the year ( occasional failures to open are nothing to worry about)

    Mine like low and high flow. They are not a picky bunch.

    having it on my back wall, i have areas that are high flow, medium, low, and almost stagnant in one area.

    It doesn't seem to care at all.

    But it does spread faster in the areas with higher flow...
