Low flow

Has anyone encounter low flow on these units? I am testing at 50 LPM but only getting about 40 LPM on my tester. I also tested a brand new one out of the box at 50 LPM and it was only slightly better at 42 LPM.

Awaldron,

There is a technical manual that can be located on the left under documents.  See page 29.  By chance are you at high altitude?  

Just me.

We're only a few hundred feet above sea level.

The manual also states, "allow the device to sufficiently warm up; rapid changes in temperature can affect the sensor."  Oddly, the Acceptance/Peformance Checks on page 14 mention nothing about checking the readings.
