Stealth Soft Wash Proportioner Product Demonstration

[@wasabi167]

This is the first video I searched for on a Proportioner to get a better understanding and now I can see how they set this up on their trucks and trailers and you have just made this very plain and clear how it works. Thank you for making this video, it was an excellent demonstration!!!

[@tritonpressurewashing]

Same, I’m looking for 2 days for a video like this one, seems plastic pipes/PPR/polyurethane or propylene like the ones from our houses, shouldn’t be more than 50£ to make one but some videos are telling somewhere at around 200£ which is way to expensive for few normal connections from hardware store

[@Bradhutton123]

That is a fact. I too have watched a lot

[@05tech]

Great video, putting in the coloring to show us beginners what’s what. thanks for the visual and it helped that you put the key chart to show how to mix each one. Awesome brother.

[@vladius8521]

basically using proportioner in downstream fashion?

[@TroyStevensStelzerPaintingInc]

@JN Equipment You suggest using 1/2" over 3/8" for more than 4 GPM (which I fully agree), yet on your website it shows you build those with 3/8" barbs. Why? Help me understand why you'd go out of your way to put in bold type how important it was to use at least 1/2" hose, meanwhile, you're building and selling these with undersized barbs?

[@Spraywell]

Great question. The SPRAY hose is a 1/2 inch, the reason for this is 1. volume of material at the tip and 2. reduced backpressure in the line. But keep in mind that's the 200ft spray hose. What we are discussing here is the suction end of the hose. On the proportioner, we've divided the suction hose between 3 hoses: 2 - 3/8 hoses and 1 - 1/4 hose. which creates a total of 1 INCH ID of suction hose when they are all used together. If you are only using the Water and SH lines, you still have a 3/4 inch suction hose.

[@TroyStevensStelzerPaintingInc]

​@@Spraywell I agree with part of your statement, however, if you're only using water, you'll be pulling from an orifice smaller than the pump inlet, which is the biggest cardinal sin for these pumps. There's advocates out there who swear you need twice the diameter of suction as your pumps inlet, which I think is way overkill, but absolutely nobody would agree that it's ok to use anything smaller that the actual pump inlet.

[@mattmayo937]

@@TroyStevensStelzerPaintingInc and @JN Equipment so what was the end result to this? The manifold outlet hose going to the pump should be what size? And the inlet hose for water and SH should be what... 1/2? and then surfactant at 1/4? (Some say 1/8" on suf... ) What are your thoughts? Oh yeah.. and the hose size leaving the pump to the reel? What size hose on the reel for a 5.5GPM pump?

[@liquidusgaming6021]

Excuse me, what does it mean when you open all 3 valves and your pump isn’t sucking all 3 lines but if you close one valve or sucks the other 2 lines I can’t get my proportioner to suck 3 lines anymore I’ve only used it for 1 month did a few roof cleanings and it’s not working right. Is it maybe from not flushing the surfactant out of the valve? But I can shoot a water hose through it and all 3 valves water comes out the other end but when I hook it to the pump my proportioner isn’t working right. What is the problem? I also been using half inch hose for bleach and water and 1/4 for surfactant.

[@Alaska24801]

If I use soap like laundry detergent for my surfactant. Do I need to dilute the laundry detergent thank you

[@chriscox5166]

Good video on explaining the proportioner.

[@artbentley4887]

Also, could you build one with just two valves, one for say a batch mix and the other line for surfactant???

[@vladius8521]

can you run the water line to pump from pump to proportioner then to gun? or will it not work well without being on pump draw side-object is to prevent bleach etc from going thru the pump?

[@pressurewashingandhoodcleaning]

[@bryantcaterino5521]

How do I know if I’m getting 1% bleach for a standard Vinyl house siding job?

[@hogswaggthejoka4346]

Why put a control valve on water line can you go check valve alone since water is always 100% open

[@SamNguyenV]

You can’t do that, it won’t mix evenly to ratio. I’ve tried already.

[@Igor-q3f]

The surfactant is about 1oz per gallo of bleach. Can you figure it out on that dial?

[@Spraywell]

for that small amount I would recommend mixing your soap with water into a bucket and drawing directly out of that pre diluted mix. that EXACT of a mix is tough for this version for the standard proportioner. For super specific mix quantities like 1 oz per gallon, you could use the ELITE proportioner which is more exact with the mix quantities.

[@HouseWashingRick]

will 1/2 inch hose work on sh and water ports and 3/8 on soap port

[@crave_thrax5140]

What soap do you prefer on vinyl siding homes with a soft wash system?

@@Spraywell THANK YOU

[@muratuzer6772]

What diameter hoses would you recommend to use in combination with a 7 GPM pump?

[@Spraywell]

for the proportioner or your spray end? For your spray hose I would recommend 1/2 inch or 5/8, For the proportioner I like to use two 1/2 inch suctions lines for water and SH, and a 1/4 inch line for my soap

[@muratuzer6772]

JN Equipment Isn’t 1/2 inch suction line for water and SH too small for a 7 GPM pump? I do use a 5/8 inch hose as a spray hose. Just asking, I’m still fairly new to 12V systems. Thank you in advance!

[@Spraywell]

@@muratuzer6772 are you using a proportioner (3 separate suctions lines) or not (only 1 suction line)? If you only have 1 suction line than use 3/4 or larger.

[@muratuzer6772]

JN Equipment Yes, I am using exactly the same proportioner (got it from you guys actually). I have replaced the barbed fittings to where I am using 3/4 inch hoses for water/SH (from the tank to the proportioner) and 3/4 inch hose from the proportioner to the pump. I do use a 5/8 inch spray hose (200 feet). It does not seem like I am getting the pressure I should.

[@Truprosoftwash]

Great info!! Could you recommend hose sizes for mixer?

[@Spraywell]

I use 3/8" lines for Water & SH and a 1/8" for my surfactant.

[@Truprosoftwash]

What if I want it to be upside down. So the single port is on the bottom and the 3 ports are up top? Do I swap the order of the check valves and meter valves?

[@Spraywell]

no just install it however you want it, no need to change anything. It can be installed in either orientation.

[@deanweingarth9586]

@@Spraywell yeah, I thought about it after I asked you the question and duh, the valves are already in the only direction they can be. In my mind I was thinking of the meter marks being upside down as well. And theres really nothing that can be done to change that. Too bad pentair doesn't make the marks in 2 different directions so can purchase the direction we want. Oh well.

[@BadWeatherfreak]

It doesnt need clamping hose for the hoses?

@@Spraywell I am waiting on the 5.5 GPM pump to come in but went ahead and set this all up in my trailer last weekend on a 4.5 GPM pump. it really would not pull from all 3 hoses. I am assuming the bigger pump will make all the difference?

I purchased one of those a week ago, I hooked it up the same way but I’m not pulling anything threw the metering system. I have a 7gpm pump , just not pulling anything out my bucket at all. You have any idea what could be the issue

[@REXONATER70]

Your check valve must be backwards.

[@davesteffler6524]

I bought a 4.0 gpm stealth softwash system off of you last year your website says that I need a 5.5 gpm or greater to use this propotioner is that correct. I should upgrade?

[@Spraywell]

The 4 GPM doesn't have enough "pull" to draw from all 3 lines. You could use this propotioner on a 4 GPM system but I would recommend either plug the center soap line or always keep the center knob turned to 0 (closed) and only use WATER/SH knobs. If you wanted to upgrade and currently had a Stealth PRO 4 GPM Soft Wash system then you would need a larger pump (either 5.5 or 7) AND (VERY IMPORTANT) upgrade ALL your 3/8 hose with 1/2 hose. 5 GPM and 7 GPM pumps need AT LEAST a 1/2 hose and the 3/8 hose that your Stealth PRO 4 GPM system came with will cause issues.

[@TroyStevensStelzerPaintingInc]

@@Spraywell You suggest using 1/2" over 3/8" for more than 4 GPM (which I fully agree), yet on your website it shows you build those with 3/8" barbs. Why?

[@nick32141]

So that your not loosing prime dose all your lines always need to be left in liquids in each drum?

[@Spraywell]

Yes that is best practice, EVEN if the valve is completely closed, the line should be submerged.

[@nick32141]

@@Spraywell So that means each line must be either submerged in surfactant water or SH. The SH means you must always carry SH in your tank isn’t that a bad thing to be doing carry SH always in your tank and keeping your line submerged in SH? What about filling when you’re done your SH tank with water and running it so that you’re flushing out your SH line?
