This is my first year running a proportioner. Just waiting for it to warm up to test it out and find good ratios for the valves. Mainly run vinyl siding and use to batch mixing so have to figure out ratios

So much cheaper than our current "proportioner in a box". The trouble we have experienced with manufactured proportioners is repair time. If we get a leaking check valve or anything that could be a quick swap-out, the entire unit has to be disassembled to access it. Moving forward we build our own. Thanks Mike, for all of the great information you share on here.

That can be a problem - but if you use quality parts, don't overtighten and use adequate Teflon sealant, you should be good to go

Just got a text from someone asking about the surfactants we use. It really depends on the surface being cleaned and there are so many companies out there selling stuff that is worthless, we use Southeast Softwash detergents.

This is awesome. I’m buying this week because I’m tired of batch mixing

Great video! I just went to Amazon and bought most parts. One or 2 is out of stock and a few of the things were outrageous in pricing. Like 24 bucks for a nipple, I found through another seller for like 6 bucks. The pentair metering valves we're 50 from this link but 30 through another vendor. Price increase is probably due to the "plastic shortage" from covid.. All in I was at like $175-180. I bought a couple of the extra barbed fittings just in case I brake one. Just a heads up. I really appreciate the content! I'm excited about getting into roof washing. I'm a Roof Maxx dealer so I'm hoping this will mesh nicely!

i did not see the link for the ratio chart, was curious if i could still get that. Thanks!

On the QuoteIQ mix calculator, how would these valves line up on the pull ratio? With the SH valve set at 1 and H2O at 1 you'd have a pull of 1:2. With SH at 1 and H20 at 2 would you have 1:3 in the app?

Awesome & to the point video. Being new to the business, the ratio chart is great. How would you calculate the amount of SH hitting the surface when using 10% SH?

@AllAboutPressureWashing

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the new business. If you look at the chart and you had an undiluted tank of 10% SH and set the valve dial to "1" and also on "1" for your H2O, you would be diluting it by 50%. If you wanted to increase the amount of SH for a stronger/hotter mix, you would turn the dial up on the SH side - so put the SH dial at "2" and leave the H2O dial at "1" and you would have a 67% SH : 33% H2O ratio.

@hsilva3213

3 жыл бұрын

So if both set to 1 your mix would be 5% hot using 10%SH. Ove been told to always run H2O valve wide open. So I'm sure if they are both wide open you will still achieve 5% close SH valve to maybe half and you would have a 2.5% mix??? Just going off valve position not really numbers.

how do these hold up ? do they last if you are careful?
