My man @Nickski dunks a pinky in for a taste test before deciding on 0.4 or 0.6

.57 is the best for house washing. Anything over .7% and youâre losing money
This might be what your looking for, $80.00-$100.00 price range.
" If you buy bleach in bulk, use Taylorâs Chlorine
Bleach Drop Test (K-1579) at the time of delivery to verify the
available chlorine content meets the labeled concentration.
Make sure youâre getting the full strength youâre paying
for! As part of routine maintenance, also test stored bleach
periodically."
Probably not as easy to use as your pool chlorine test kit.
When crap dies, the SH is good; when it doesnât, turn up the heat a bit⌠
Iâm confused on how this calculator works. I DS 8-1, out of a 5 gal bucket. I typically go with 3 gal SH to 2 gal water. That gives me about .75% hitting the house. Iâm not getting that with your calculator when I put in 5 gal batch mix. What am I doing wrong?
not sure about the calculator issue youâre havingâŚif youâre cutting your SH 3-to-2, then DSing 8-1, then youâre roughly on either side of the .75% youâre looking for (depending on if you have 10% or 12.5%, and assuming itâs true to the label)âŚthe calculator doesnât appear to account for the downstream ratio, so your bucket should be either 6% or 7.5% in your scenario. It would be easy enough to add in a 2nd step to the calc to account fo your DS ratioâŚif you really need to.
Rough targets of 1% 3% 6% is all youâll ever need to make a living and clean anything thatâs thrown at you. Anyone chasing around decimal points and waiting on lab tests is delusional.

To care or know your percentage is delusional. Itâs like creamer in coffee. No one knows the percentage of milk to coffee, you just add till it right, then repeat process every morning forever.

We have a test kit somewhereâŚonly useful because we buy in immense bulk, and if we goof and slow down, we may need to check the actual available to rework ratios after it sat for some timeâŚ
Ah yes thatâs what it is. The ds ratio is missing.

Enter your numbers in the green boxes only:
This is just a dilution calculator for SH
Enter the strength of the SH you start with ( 5%, 10%, 12.5%),
then you have to enter the total gallons of the batch mix.
It will tell you how much water to add to dilute your SH to your target strength
This is just a dilution calculator for SH
for down streaming you have to do the math based on the injector you have
example: 10-1 injector fed with 12.5% SH will give you 1.25% at gun
10-1 injector fed with 10.0% SH will give you 1.00% at gun
10-1 injector fed with 7.5% SH will give you .75% at gun
-Pick a target strength based on job needs
-do the math for 8-1 injector
Ok understood.
So you must not ds then?
I use my 100PSI 12v pump to apply Mix on most jobs.
Here in Florida growth can be really bad, a lot of stucco also, need a stronger Mix to do it in 1 pass etcâŚ
12v is nice and quiet with good control of quantity and strength of spray. Good for normal size house jobs.
I have a 10-1 Injector that works well when needed.
I made the calculator to help guys with batch mix math.
I use mixing valves to adjust my SH, Soap, and Water mix pulled by the 12v pump.
That way I dont need a batch tank, I can change mix strength at any time, and no leftover mix .
Saves room on my short bed Tacoma truck.
