Got a question for the dilution ratio when house washing, 1% from what I have read.
Now if I have an injector that pulls at 15:1 and then put in a x-jet proportioner in my foot valve to get 80:1 which would be 1.2%, right?
Or should I just pull straight SH and not dilute it at all?
Your Math is assuming your using 100% SH and not 12.5% SH
Also you plan on down streaming and xjet at same time?
Yes, 10% and downstreaming. No X-Jetting. I have x-jet propotioners to get an even weaker ratio that I put in my foot valves at the end of my chem lines
Add 1 gallon of water to 1 gallon of 12.5% SH and you get a 6.25% strength mix . Hope that math helps
haha, nope it does not.
I guess the best question for me to ask:
Should I dilute my SH before I downstream it?
Typically a 50/50 mix downstream is fine for me with Ohio weather. I run a 5.5 machine

Meaning if your downstream injector shows a dilution of 10:1, for every 10 gallons your washer pushes out, it sucks up 1 gallon of SH. So if I use Straight 10% bleach into the injector, and my injector dilutes whatever It sucks up 10:1, the the final strength of mix out the nozzle tip is 1%. How about now ?

thanks @JayDavis I have a 4.8gpm machine
1 gallon of SH isn’t 100%
It’s only the strength you buy it at
12.5, 10, 6 whatever your percentage is.
So if you use 10% 50/50 cuts it down to 5% before your injector

Now I gotta math…haha
Yes that makes more sense when you put it that way.
I’ll have to get the new draw rate with this 1.8 injector at 200’ once my hoses get in. I know my 2.1 injector at 100’ gets me 15:1
