SH Chemical Mixing Percentages

Get a gallon jug with one gallon of water,open the injector wide open - put the hose in the jug with the chem tip,run for exactly one minute,simple formula- measure what left in the jug - one gallon = 100 % the amount used is your %

Thatā€™s not how that works. Itā€™s not about time, itā€™s about how much gets pulled from chems vs. the amount of diluting water. Time has literally nothing to do with the injector ratio.

Let me re emphasis this,you run it for one minute whatā€™s left in the gallon jug will compute to your percentage,use your gpm vrs percent of fluid left - what do you not understand

Well my dude, you didnā€™t say anything about gpm, or dividing whatā€™s left over by your machineā€™s output in your first post. The way it reads is that you can just take any machine, put the chem tube in a gallon, run it for a minute, and then ā€œwhat left in the jug minus a gallon equals 100% the amount used is your percentageā€. Thatā€™s about as clear as mud.

Itā€™s an extra step thatā€™s unnecessary. Injector ratio will be the same no matter how long you run it. You could put the dip tube in a shot glass and spray into a bucket. When the shot glass runs empty, measure the total amount of water you have in the bucket. If itā€™s 11 oz, then you spray at 10-1

Why complicate a simple procedure

Youā€™re wasting your time with that one, Jake. He pops in once in a blue moon and gets confrontational with folks and eventually starts hurling insults and profanity and then disappears. Heā€™s never offered any sort of solid advice to anyone on here. Just so you know.

I would suggest to run a gallon and get the exact %

Mr displaced Texan I do not know you and you obviously donā€™t know me - I have been pressure washing since 1989,I have made a lot of mistakes and learned by experience and taking advice from other people - when I started I didnā€™t have anybody to go to for advice - the answer I gave to the guy asking about the % was correct,not sure where you are going with slamming me

I know you Bucky Harris. Your post history here is available for everyone to see. If youā€™re here to be helpful and not be hateful then by all means stick around.

I was simply warning a helpful, productive member here that heā€™s engaging with someone who has a tendency to go off on people and use profanity.

10-4, I was unaware. And thank you for the kind words, I try my best for whatever thatā€™s worth.

@Bucky thank you as well for the input. Iā€™ll try your way next time, more than one way to skin a cat

Heā€™s the ex cop that washes on the side, hoping he wouldnā€™t get caught because his department wouldnā€™t approve of his side business. But, on the plus side he says he has 20 pressure washers lol.
