Care to post a pic of this? Maybe I’m having a bad day, but for the life of me I can’t wrap my head around what you are saying here.
What I think he’s saying is, that he has a high pressure ball valve before his DS injector, so that he can shut off the flow and remove the injector entirely from the flow path.

In the picture above if you look about 10 inches up from the top of the blue jug on the right you can see the ball valve.

Correct.
And the purpose of this is to be able to remove the injector completely without shutting down the engine?
Exactly
Why in the world would you do that, ( take injector out) every time you used a surface cleaner when for $90 you just put the bypass? I’ve got at least 2+ years on one of my injector bypasses and have never had to do anything to it other than replace an injector when it went bad. That would probably equate to over 1500 times, at least, of having to take the injector out and put back in. That’s crazy, even for someone from CA, lol.

I had used a bypass for the whole season but did not have the Schertz box at the time. I was in a discussion about it with @Innocentbystander on another thread. The debate was how you lose flow, or friction from the 90 deg turns from the bypass. I know that you put yours so that it goes straight and the dsi is in the loop but that seems that you would pull even less soap doing that. I was adamant about having the bypass but that was before the Schertz box and I didn’t know (or believe as I had not personally tried it yet) that running through the injector would not reduce flow. Once I got the box and did a bucket test with pulling water through the injector on rinse I found that there wasn’t a loss in flow and that maybe they were on to something about the two 90’s. I’m now down to 14-1 since I changed from 100 to 200 continuous hose and don’t want to be any lower. I figured that since I only need to break the surface cleaner out once every week or two the 20 seconds it would take to remove the injector and snap the line back with quick connects would be worth it. This was a way to have the best of both worlds. Before Chris box there was no way I would live without the bypass!
I guess the difference is I’m using my surface cleaner literally every job I do unless a roof.

If I did that I would absolutely keep the bypass. I still have it and may put it back on this coming season. I’ve been busy with a lot of house wash’s and roof’s these last couple months and have 5 more big jobs lined up for this month already (2-3 days each). I had actually looked into a motorized high pressure ball valve for the bypass before finding Chris box. Dyna quip had one that was about $700 and I would still have to hook it up to a remote system. After discovering that Chris’ flushes the injector every rinse I went with his and glad I did. What I do want next though is a remote on off for the PW machine and a remote (same remote multiple buttons like a tv lol) to turn the heat on and off. Efficiency is king! Well that and gpm…
