Default Water Injection question

I have a cooling mist unit in the trunk of my car to cool off the supercharger intake air. I was told that every 2 tankfulls I should be empty on a 1 and 1/2 gallon water tank. 20 tankfulls later, it's only 1/4 used. Is it not working correctly? There are no kinks in the lines, and during testing it squirts out pretty well. What do you think?

I think you don't wot often enough.................. What boost level does it come on at? One or two nozzles, and what size nozzle? I only used the 1/2 gallon unit that Snow and others give you, and even that lasted 2-3 tankfuls, depending on my right foot..........

I'm WOT all the time, or so the local police say.
It's suppose to come on at 3000 I believe and It's one nozzle to the underside of the hat. It sprays pretty good when it's off. Trust me, my foot is always into it. I would guess 1000 miles and it's only 1/4 gone.

all the kits I've used are boost referenced (or maf), not rpm. Must be a very small nozzle if it works and isn't out of water yet. I've had a dozen of these kits, they use more water than you're using if jetted correctly.

Can setting the controls on the unit fix this? Make it come on sooner, or such?
Here are the settings

I've never used that exact controller, but it appears to start spraying at 5 psi of boost or so and hits it's max pressure at 15 psi or so. Are you running 15 psi? If so, I'd probably have the max spray on a few psi earlier, maybe by 12 psi or so. Not sure what the tune gain dial does. You had said it comes on at 3000 rpms, but I don't see an rpm setting unless it's in the software somewhere.

Still wondering which nozzle size you're running.
