“Hey catch up”.. I love it when you say that on your vids😂😂 Anyway there’s a brand ASAHI who’s metering valves design solved this phenomenon. By full open the metering valves practically the same inside diameter as the ball valves. If you look at the other metering valves the inside diameter at full open is way smaller than the ball valve, hence less flow! Wash on brother 🤘🏽

I run a ball valve on the water side and two Pentair valves for soap and SH. Ball valve stays open for a house wash I dial the SH between 1-2 number on the Pentair. Works good. I throttle the ball valve back a 1/4 turn for roof washing. I run the SH between 4-5 number. I run a NorthStar 7gpm pump 12 volt. Going on my 3rd year with that pump. I buy my SH at 10 percent. Pentair valves are going on 3 yrs with no problems. I run 200 ft of 5/8s flexilla hose. My system works for me no issues. I will say I tried running a Pentair on the water side at first and it restricted my vertical distance by 10 feet when it was on. The 1/2 inch diameter proportional system is restrictive in my opinion when running a 7 GPM pump. Now a 5.5 gpm might work fine. But just wanted to share what works for me.

What I’ve gathered from the pentairs are they are honestly the same when it comes to percentage. All the way (if you’re using 10%) would be a 50/50 mix which would be 5%. Half way would be 2.5% and so on. The numbers tend to scare a lot of people cause they think the numbers on the dials are 1%,2%,3% etc lol

See the above post I don’t run a Pentair on the water side. I run a a ball valve that is left open all the time. Since I switched to 12 percent SH I leave the ball valve open all the time even when doing roofs. Also a Pentair valve on the water side will restrict your vertical distance by 10 ft. It did mine anyways. But do what works for you. This is just my experience.

I'm not the brightest light bulb, but is there a need to meter the water. Can you just run the ball valve for the water fully open. I understand it has a different flow rate from the pentair valves. But does that really matter. Please clarify. Also wouldn't more water flow be an optimal scenario. I don't know anything, I'm just trying to learn to set up for myself. Thank you
@allproexteriorservicesllc5338
@allproexteriorservicesllc5338 8 ай бұрын
Yes, more flow from the ball valve will not give an accurate mix. Knowing the percentages with accurate valves equates to applying to correct solution & chemical savings. Knowing your chemical draw is key in the industry. Hope this helps. Thanks

It self primes pretty easily. It takes about 30-45 second to clear the line when changing the SH dial. Thanks

What would happen if you maybe used a 3/8 ball valve instead of a 1/2 inch control for the water, I’m thinking this may work

I did this same experiment but i used two of those 1/2" ball valves in series for the water. The one closest to the cross stayed closed but i drilled a hole through the ball to imitate the resistance i was getting on the metering valve. The second valve was my shutoff. It took some fine tuning but after I got it it stayed consistent on the draw rate. My metering valve cracked recently so I may see if I can do the whole module similarly. I can buy the metering valves but I enjoy the tinkering.

It may work. But if you are only doing roofs through the proportioner, then 2 ball valves would work for sure. You would just always have a 5% or 6.25% depending on your SH concentration.

If by chance you want to 3way off the output side to switch draw from a 12v “or” a Downstream injector, you’ll need a meter valve on water to shut off water completely to meter for Down stream. Also you need check valve on all as well!

The GF is not a gate valve. They are metering valve that allow the flow to be metered. We now use the Asahi metering valves on all out or proportioners. Thanks

The biggest issue I was wondering about before getting a blend manifold was the size of the suction hose going from the manifold to the pump. I run all 1 inch suction hoses to my 5.5 pumps. I was always told to double the size to whatever size your inlet opening is for your pump which is 1/2 inch. I was wondering if you can do the same for the suction hose going from the manifold to the pump. 1/2 inch seems like it would be a lot of stress on the pump trying to pull through that and also trying to pull from 2 more separate 1/2 inch lines plus another 1/4 in line. Just wondering what the thoughts were on that.

I never tried anything bigger than 1/2" feeding the manifold. I did use a 3/4" from the manifold to the pump, but did not see any improvement. This is why I run a 3-way ball valve on my SH line. So I can convert my SH line to H2O without losing any flow. Hope this helps. Thanks
