Hello everyone. Just a quick into as this is my first post. I’ve been silently stalking this forum for about a year and a half and finally decided to make an account. Thank you everyone for the endless wealth of knowledge on here. Without this resource my wife and I would’ve struggled much more with getting our business off the ground.
I wanted to share my remote injector bypass kit that automatically flushes water through the injector when the SH is turned off. I’ve included a parts list and a wiring diagram. I’ve been running this for a while with no issues. Please let me know what questions you have.
Sure here goes, why not disclose all the links you provided are affiliate links?
Why do I feel you need to?
Incentives, reliability, and disclosure.
Incentives:
If I write an article listing 10 amazing hats to wear, and strongly recommend 1 hat over the others.
Is that because I actually enjoy that hat? Or is it because only that hat is paying me a commission if a reader also buys it?
Reliability:
If I did the above in an article, I wouldn’t be a very reliable writer, would I?
My opinions would be biased based on how much money I can make — and not from a place of experience and expertise (as it should be).
Disclosure:
However, if I was upfront and stated clearly in the article that some links were affiliate links, and that I could potentially receive a commission — my trustworthiness in a reader’s eye can go back up.
In the worst case, at least the reader would be aware that my recommendations may have other aspects of incentives and reliability.
I appreciate the honest feedback. No affiliate links here, I just copied and pasted the links that I purchased. If they were affiliate links, I would completely be honest about it in the name of transparency.
Please understand that I have no intention of making money off of this. I did my fair share of homework on how to build a system that would automatically flush water through the DSI when the SH was turned off. Wasn’t super tricky, but enough work where I thought I’d offer the resource to the community that’s helped me a ton for over a year. With all the knowledge on this site, I don’t have a ton that I can contribute. I just thought it was something that I could do.
I hope this doesn’t leave a bad taste in anyone’s mouth. I was also thinking of sharing my mini trailer build for those without a lot of garage space.
You did fine. I didn’t see any links except to Amazon. Your system isn’t the most used friendly and those valves don’t last long, but nothing wrong with throwing it out there. The Shertz box is the best thing on the market right now, bar none. But, I think he is raising his price too where he will put himself out of the market.
Hey IBS, thanks for the response. What would you suggest to make it more user friendly? I’ve been running this for months without any issues. I flush out the valves and they’ve been lasting a good while. I also get some insane range with the remotes.
Unfortunately with the price hikes of everything, I can see him pricing himself out. I hope he’s able to avoid that.
It appears you are using two valves instead of one three way. Somewhere here I posted some parts and make a video. The one way valves were about $18 I believe. Brian and I made one using a plastic there way valve but it was little too labor heavy. The one I made for Russ Johnson works ok but the dema valves are expensive compared to their reliability. If you are having success with yours, don’t charge anything
That’s pretty cool, I’ll have to look into it.
The system I posted normally has the water valve open. When you press the On button on the remote the water valve closes and the bleach valve opens at the same time. Off does the opposite. This way the injector always has either water or bleach flowing through. My thought process was if the injector pulls 10%, why choke out that 10% on a water rinse -especially for surface cleaning? It ain’t anything too complicated, and didn’t require any programming. I haven’t made any videos yet, I’d like to put one together.
