Well my electric ball valve finally went out after several months without rinsing. It was a simple setup, but flawed because when I wasn’t pulling soap I would lose flow. I had a single electric valve inline between the injector and the house wash. It also had SH in it 100% of the time.
So now I plan to build it out correctly this time and could use some extra eyes before I pull the trigger and order this stuff. The electric ball valves I selected will open or close based on polarity. With this option I can stick to one channel. Check out the flow chart and parts list. Does this look like a solid plan?
Everything looks good, except I would use the N/O valve on the fresh water line, and the N/C valve for the soap. This will result in less drain on your battery, since 2/3 of the job is rinsing.
Edit: just read the description of the valve. Durr. Didn’t get the concept of the reverse polarity actuation at first.
I’m a bit lost on how that remote is going to pair up with the ball valves, though. It appears to be a very simple on/off remote. How will you reverse the polarity to open and close your valves?
The remote is 4 wires. Two are for the power supply to the battery. The other two are + -, they will be hooked up to the valves. Each valve will be wired opposite of each other. Hopefully that makes sense. It’s hard to word this stuff. Diagrams tell a better story to me.
And hopefully I’m thinking about this accurately. I’m certainly not an electrician
I guess I’ll need to go with a multi channel remote. I cannot find NO/NC electric ball valves. I know solenoid Valves come In those option but I find them less reliable.
