I’ve seen it before.

I’d pay someone to make it for me!! Any takers?

My rate is $160/hr. I’ll take my time and get it right over 4 hours and won’t even charge you for materials.

And a heck of a payday for something that’s about as easy to assemble as legos, but I find no reason to reduce my in-season rates for winter. :slight_smile:

@Ikii correct me if I’m wrong but from what I see. All the way to the left would be your water valve (fully opened, middle valve 1/4 for your surfactant, and right valve SH it looks to be half opened. So the % hitting the surface is 3% solution?

This is not my set up I found it on the Internet

Attwood® Universal Sprayless Connector
About $14
The other connector for piping from lowes/homedepot.
And the propirtioners about $30 from ebay
Just make sure yoyr detergent has the same density or close as the SH.
I only use SH and detergent no water on my mix.
Just enough to foam and of course i use hot water on alk my jobs

Glad to see my setup made it on there. Thanks OP for giving me credit.

Bryan, if your looking to have one made, PM me on face book.

I have lots of videos and pics that show these little valves are accurate and repeatable. No need to spend upwards of $1400 when the end result is the same

Water and bleach are 1/2”. Soap is 1/4”
