Hey all, just getting started with my operation. I bought a Softwash Starter Skid from Southeast Softwash that has a snazzy blend manifold for proportioning bleach and water from their respective tanks. I thought I’d also be getting plumbing to add a separate surfactant tank, but did not.
My question is now how to apply surfactant. My options seem to be:
-
Buy a surfactant tank and try to plumb it with Southeast’s blend manifold so I can proportion it independently (cons are I have no idea how to do this)
-
Batch mix the surfactant into the 50 gallon bleach tank. This was their recommendation, but from what I’m reading, the mixture of bleach and surfactant becomes useless after 24 hours. So to be efficient, I’d need to know EXACTLY how much bleach and detergent was needed for each job, then dispose of the extra solution every day?
-
Apply it separately. I guess with a pump sprayer or otherwise. Would add an extra step and be clumsy applying two different solutions to a surface.
Feel like I must be missing something. Advice appreciated.
