I've built a 3/4" manifold very similar to this with sch 80 fitting and pipes from lowes for my water inlet manifold and my 12v pump manifold. Definitely do 1" for the AR or Comet and 24v pumps.

Great valve setup. You've done the hard part. Research and development,, trial and fine tuning figuring out how to get a hot mix efficiently. I don't believe that you've ever mentioned the 1/2 inch outlet from the pump to the hose reel. Do you keep it at 1/2 inch and do you use 1/2 or 5/8 hose on the reel ? I thought it odd that AR puts a 1 1/4 inch inlet on the pump and a 1/2 outlet to the reel. Also...On your 12 volt wireless SH valve. I think, that at one time you had a 3 way valve ... select SH or flush the system with water while rinsing. Of course, the 12v valve is pricy, and a method of flushing the 12v , backflow, and the metering valve, and the pump would probably be better. Thanks for posting videos !!!

I would try to do a draw test with the SH and water lines with two different metering valves both on full. It wont draw 50/50. Both metering valves need to be the same. This has been proven from other youtubers that a ball valve and a metering valve wont draw the correct amount so your ratios will always be off. Do a test, maybe everyone else is wrong? On you own rig you have two metering valves so it will work correctly.

I think the Pentair's and GF's have restriction on %100 open. The bigger 3/4 and 1in metering valves don't, so it's proportional. This is my assumption at least.

This is correct. The openings are different sizes therefore letting different fluid quantities flow through them.

You don't need it unless you want to go more than 6.25% or if you've had your bleach a while and it has gone weak so you need the extra strength more than a 50/50 mix so you have to close the water valve some. But on my manifold I'm just using regular ball valves. All you have to do is run a water test, with the ball valve 100% open then time how long it takes to fill a gallon. With that time find and mark what closing positions will fill 96oz, 64oz, 32oz, 16oz. That'll give you your position 1(16oz or 1.25%),2(32oz or 2.5%),3(64oz or 3.75%),4(96oz or 5%),5(open or 6.25% ) which is pretty much what a GF valve is doing.

But also if the size of the openings of the water and SH valves are different because you bought different brands or types then your ratios are guna be off from what you think they are based off of the SH metering valve markings. In other words wide open for both valves that are different won't be 50/50 and will be off for other settings.

I don't remember who, but someone recently did a video testing a ball valve as the water valve. Again I don't remember exactly, but it was either pulling too much or two little water and throwing off dilutions.

That is correct because the opening on the ball valves are different so the ratios are different and unpredictable.

Just would have to change the barb size for your hose and close either the left or right barb because you don't need a bypass like the gas pumps do.

Why do you have 25’ of line going to the pump from the bypass port on the manifold? Is it fir cooling purposes?
@MannyAguilarJr
Жыл бұрын
Yes cooling. It allowed the bypassed fluid to cool some so it's not as hot coming back into the manifold then going into the pump. It's just a slight pump protection but don't let it bypass too long. If you're not guna spray anything for a couple of minutes then turn off the pump. Just like the direct drive pressure washers you buy from Lowes or home Depot.

@@shoreunlimitedhydrowash4019 did you figure it out? Try closing the water and bleach some ways to allow more suction from the surfactant until it catches up to the manifold, maybe. Maybe your surfactant is too thick. I'm sure you've tried it but maybe opening the ball valve more on the surfactant line. I'm sure you've looked but maybe the line is pinch from the suction. Maybe you need to move up to a 3/8" line, I know there's a time when you need to move up on line size but I forgot when it's needed.
