DIY Soft Washing Mix Manifold Build

[@chucktrotter9699]

4.3.24 Good instructional video on how to build, however still no parts list like some of the other comments say.

[@56839gra]

I spend 275 in parts and im putting it together this weekend 😊

[@estishomeservices]

Thanks for the info, the prices on the pieces fluctuate a lot.

[@j8k3th3gr8]

Hello brother! Great how to video. Again, there is no parts list and i cant find that t in anything but metal on amazon- can you help me out and share the link for it please?

[@spence5436]

Your website link doesn't work. Can you share a parts list or fix that?

[@Abovenbeyondservices]

Good video, Depending on the pump you are using you may want to go 3/4” manifold and reduce to half inch

[@estishomeservices]

Yeah, that's why I was saying you could go 1/2 or 3/4. Depends what your running.

[@Abovenbeyondservices]

@@estishomeservices oh yeah? I didn’t see anything about 3/4” manifolds for higher flow pumps, on your video, that is why I figure I throw that tiny advice there.

[@thoward2267]

Where is the parts list? I just see the link to your website. Excellent video! I am excited to get started!

[@anthonyroman5971]

Very well explained thanks I’m doing research as of now to launch 2023🎉

[@estishomeservices]

That's awesome! Let me know if you have any questions, I may do a video on easy ways to start and maintain an LLC, also I believe I have a video on how to do a GF valve proportioner as well

[@estishomeservices]

Hey brother! How's the launch coming?!

[@johnpaul-mp7zc]

Hi what ratio of water to SH do you like to use on vinyl siding? thanks

[@carlostreadwell4565]

Good video man thanks alot

[@estishomeservices]

You bet!

[@andrewr1125]

The link don’t work 😢

[@johnpaul-mp7zc]

does it matter that your model doesn't have the pintail "off" word in different locations from each one of the three? it would seem to make me wonder if i have the proportions dialed in exactly as the percentages require?

[@matthewstanley893]

Is there still a link to the parts list somewhere?

[@estishomeservices]

I am currently working on getting it back up

[@pressurewashingandhoodcleaning]

where did you order your stuff from?

[@trevordoren1266]

Can you drop those links

[@pressurewashingandhoodcleaning]

is that 1/2" holes?

[@Aoitori94]

Also just wondering - wouldn’t you want extra check valves after the control valve so it doesn’t flow back into that also so example check valve-control valve-check valve ? Or is that excessive

[@estishomeservices]

Completely get what you're saying, that would be a little excessive

[@wv8404]

Check valve need to be under the valve not ontop

[@estishomeservices]

​@@wv8404 very much appreciate the feedback but that's actually not true. The check valve is to prevent chemicals from back washing into the supply tanks. Doesn't matter where the check valve is.

[@wv8404]

@Estis Pressure Washing yes I get that but also to prevent bleach from back flowing to the metering valves themselves.. bleach should only be able to get to the mixing block not into any part of another valve or line.. plus when u go to rinse it out makes life easier if the check valve is above the valves the. How u gonna rinse of the valves that the bleach has backflowed on

[@estishomeservices]

@@wv8404 the valves are rated for SH so it doesn't matter if they get SH on them. You can easily rinse them, I have a flush valve further upstream where I just flip it and water comes through all the valves

[@herbertvonsauerkrautunterh2513]

I use an x jet

[@mase7998]

I am not seeing the parts list for the proportioner on your website

[@estishomeservices]

I will update the site and get the list back on there

[@Carnius797]

Can you make one of these 1 inch that would fit my comet p40? My apologies my app is lagging and I can’t see my old comment

[@estishomeservices]

The P40 is 300psi and the valves, even if you upgrade to GF valves only support 150psi

[@eduardomagana3158]

How much is the total $ to make one? And do these work for air systems too?

[@estishomeservices]

Haven't tried them for air systems. It costs about $260 to build

[@johnshoemaker6164]

I see that the Parts link refers to a ProStar CH1019 metering valve and not a Pentair R172086. Are these the same valve made by the same company, or is the Prostar an aftermarket copy? If the Prostar is a copy, what have you found in the performance of it?

[@estishomeservices]

They're the same thing.

[@Carnius797]

I have a question. I’m thinking of building a manifold for my comet p40 to try it out. In theory could i just substitute all these for 1 inch pieces?

[@estishomeservices]

You could in theory, but unfortunately, even if you went with the upgraded GF valves, it wouldn't support the PSI from the P40 which is around 300psi where the GF valves only support up to 150psi

[@captaincake4331]

What valves do support 300 PSI?@@estishomeservices

[@ecutc3]

so if i buy this.. what size hose would i be using for the water.... size for detergent... and size for chem?? and then the exit water from manifold should be same diameter? or is the exit hose supposed to be bigger?

[@estishomeservices]

Water, SH, and outlet are all 1/2 in Soap is 1/4 in

[@Aoitori94]

@@estishomeservices awesome thank you! Gonna attempt to make one lol

[@estishomeservices]

@@Aoitori94 if you need any help at all feel free to ask. [e-mail] [phone]

[@bankruptsee]

Thoughts on GF vs pentair valves?

[@estishomeservices]

If you have the money to get the GF valves do it. The pentair let some air into the lines and it's cheap plastic

[@bankruptsee]

@@estishomeservices Awesome. THanks for the info and the video

[@jaredscott547]

How much would it be for the GF values of you were to build one? Interested

[@estishomeservices]

@@jaredscott547 it'd be about $550 with GF valves

[@DylanAvery-d6y]

7 months later, still no links to parts

[@henryward4750]

How much if I order from you? Thanks for the video

[@estishomeservices]

$340 for pentair valves $480 for GF valves $340 for Hayward valves

[@ritmolatino1627]

Dont bother, the is no link to parts used

[@estishomeservices]

My website is being rebuilt.

[@Rhall6451]

What gpm pump do you pair this Diy with? I run 5.5's.

[@estishomeservices]

7gpm 12v

[@estishomeservices]

5.5 will work

[@danielpersonal99]

The link to the parts does not work

[@estishomeservices]

I am working on getting it back up

[@estishomeservices]

Should be done by the weekend

[@carlostreadwell4565]

How much if u build

[@estishomeservices]

$300 for the pentair ones

[@searst2]

Says I need a password for website?

[@estishomeservices]

Yes, my apologies, we are currently updating our website. You can still login and everything should work. Username: estis312 Password: fW1MK7Wx Or you can contact me directly with any questions. [phone]

[@dcsc4895]

could this hanndle a p40 11gpm pump?

[@estishomeservices]

I would not recommend using it with a p40 Those are 300psi and this system is really only rated for up to a max of 230psi
