It is designed for 4-20 meter head (height).  That is 13 to 65 foot water height.  The recommended a minimum water flow is 3-5 liters per second, which is 50-80 gallons per minute.  For full power, you will need 14 meters (42 feet).

The  bottom view shows the 5.6 inch (144 mm) diameter Turgo Wheel, adjustable Nozzle, and Resistor in the water stream which is used to control the output voltage.

The generator is a Permanent Magnet type with very little cogging torque. The inlet pipe is 2 inch (50 mm).  Comes with a hose clamp to attach a flexible hose, or attach a threaded pipe.

Comes complete with a manual that includes an installation guide.

 Here is the output for the unit at different hieghts and flows.
