I recently got a hold of a 11x14" Gravity Works print washer and I've been trying it out to see how it works.

What I don't understand is, how do I hook it up to get a constant flow?

If I let the siphon hose down it will drain as it fills up so that's counterproductive. I could use the other larger drain to maintain a flow but I don't think I'd be using it for what it was designed for (to quickly empty the tank)? Unless the rate of water going in is what regulates the flow?

If anyone has used this before or has a manual, I'd greatly appreciate it
 
there are 2 outlet hoses- a small diameter one below a larger diameter one. the lower small diameter hose has a spring clip that is adjusted to control the outflow. you close it down to minimize the outflow to allow both exit hoses to flow while the water level is maintained in tank.
 
Thanks jvo. So what's the difference between the two outlet hoses, I mean what is the design reason in having two outgoing hoses? I don't think you need two tubes to make a siphon, no?
