Proportioner Build & Test

I built a proportioner for my soft wash system. I tested the ball valve on the water side to see if the draw is the same as the metering valve.
Updated 5/4/2024: Parts list for all fittings from Farmchem.com. Farmchem does not have the check valves so you need to get them from US plastics.com or another source. Just remember to make sure they are 1/3 crack pressure. You will need to purchase the metering valves separately. I went to my local pool company to purchase Pentair valves. I upgraded to the 1/2" Asahi valves from the Pentairs. You could also convert all the fittings to 3/4" for additional flow if needed.
3- HB050 (1/2" MNPT X 1/2" Hose Barb)
1-HB050-025 (1/2" MNPT x 1/4" Hose Barb)
1- CR050 (1/2" 4-way)
6- NIP050-SH (1/2" x 1.75" Nipple)
3- HB050-90- You can use this 90 or a straight fitting depending on your set up (1/2" MNPT x 1/2" 90 degree Hose barb)
3- 22210 (1/2" Check Valves from US Platics.com)
2- SL050-90 (1/2" Pipe Elbow)
1- HB050-075 (I chose to use this fitting from the proportioner to the pump. (1/2" MPNT x 3/4" Barb)

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.

“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 🤘🏽

What a lot of people don't understand, is the reason for quality proportioning valves. One look at the cross section of the two valves tells you everything you need to know. That being said... in negative pressure application, it is CRUCIAL to use valves with REPEATABLE CONSISTENCY. Do you need a proportioning valve on you water pickup? Not necessarily. What IS important, is that YOU know YOUR equipment. Know your settings, and the results the produce. Also, know your chemicals. Density and viscosity will effect flow in negative pressure (pickup) applications. A high density/high viscosity foaming agent or surfactant isn't going to flow like a low viscosity solvent/detergent. Take a day and run flow tests on your equipment with the chemicals you use. Keep a cheat sheet with the various valve settings and flow rates.

Have you had any issues with having a bulkhead in the bottom of your chemical tank? I was told the SH will damage the fitting and leak.

Ok peeps, maybe I'm missing something here,,,, at 4:45 it looks like he has a 1/2-inch barb coming out for the water and the SH on the bottom of the unit on the left and right side,,,, then at 8:00 minutes on the bottom right and left sides it looks a 1/4-inch barb size coming out ???? and at 8:10 he says 1/2-inch barb, but they look like there 1/4-inch barbs,,,, what am I missing please ???? thank you all,,,,

Not sure what you are missing. I used 1/2" barbs on the H2O & SH & 1/4" on the soap. I did eventually upgrade the barbs to schedule 80 later. Still using that proportioner as of today until my next suace maker is complete. Be on the lookout. Thanks

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.
