Shock your SH when temps get low & you will see a improvement.
Iām in Louisiana. It rarely gets under 70 here. When it drops below 60 people start freaking out. It still feels like summer time atm.
Have you tested your injectors to see what theyāre pulling? If I remember someone with a 8gpm machine was pulling 18:1 ratio with a 3-5gpm injector (2.1). That would give you about .7% hitting the wall which is plenty. Maybe a little longer dwell time and might have to hit bad areas twice. With your smaller pump you were probably pulling 9:1-10:1 so your dwell time was less but it also takes you 2-3 times longer to rinse.
Your diagram is missing a degreaser bucket connection
The 4 way from hydrochem is set up way differently. Very elaborateā¦check valves, manifoldā¦ect but it has a $250 price tag.
Diagram is just using $30 worth of 3 way ball valves to select diluted hw mix and straight bleach for gutters when needed.
Usually 3 sides of the house very diluted hw mix would work fineā¦it would be nice to go to a hotter mix for the north side by turning a valve
No I havenāt. I will do this within the next few days while I have some down time. What you said seems about accurate. Iāve probably just gotten used to working with a hotter mix with 5gpm then the 8gpm is capable of.
Pardon my ignorance but what are you shocking your SH with. We almost never have weather in the 40ās this time of year in TX but we do this year so I need to bump up my game. Thanks
Trichloro-s-Triazinetrione works better than calcium hypoclorite but only add 1TBS per 5gal max depending on initial % of SH I have added as little as 1/4 cup to 65 galās [pre dissolved] & it bumps up alkalinity a considerable amount. Just google Trichloro - s - Triazinetrione & you will find out where to buy it. Good luck to you
Is the 4 way from Hydrochem the DS set up you were telling me about a while back? Granted, you may not remember that conversation at all, but you mentioned one of your suppliers had a DS āproportionerā style set up.
Yeah it is. I only buy a hydroxide mix and citric acid from them, and a degreaser. I donāt get up there often. Buy SH from a different place and eliminator.
Iāll email the rep and see if he will send me a picture of it
Thanks, Iād love to see it.
I run 5-8 gpm general hi draw with my 8gpm machine and my house wash is 50/50 with elemenonator and 200 ft of pressure hose.No problems doing it this way
Whatās your actual draw rate?
Not sure,I have never checked it.I will mess with it this upcoming week and see
Did this ever work out? I was thinking about doing the same thing but with house mix and another mix for downstreamingā¦
