125 ml

1 litre = 1000 ml so
40 litres = 40000 ml
40000 ml divided by 320 =125 ml

Hey Gary you know me I dont do litres but wouldnt it be 40 litres divided by 320.....if so it would be 0.125 of  a litre for your tank.....but again I dont do litres...... also dont you when you make tea add one for the pot? last thing, why dont you add a chemical feed to your machine that way you arent putting chemicals through the pump, may be easier to do......... especially if you have to dump the water you dont use because you cant heat it......or have you sorted that out??? best, Dave.

Designed for today’s modern cleaning equipment, Liquid High Heat is a one step cleaning detergent specifically formulated for high heat truck mounts that produce heat in excess of 200 degrees F. Polymer based technology, acid side cleaning eliminates the need for an acid rinse step and encapsulates soil to reduce re-soiling after cleaning.

Cleaning with Liquid High Heat will not cause browning and is completely soluble in hot or cold water. Using Liquid High Heat in your truck mount or portable extractor will neutralize the alkalinity from pre-sprays while you clean. 21st Century cleaning technology, Liquid High Heat contains no dyes, is biodegradable, low VOC and will not clog jets or screens.

When you use Liquid High Heat you experience exceptional cleaning and non re-soiling properties. Liquid High Heat actually encapsulates sticky soils making them easier to remove while you clean and allows vacuuming after cleaning to be more effective and easier.

How acid side cleaning works: While most soils are acid and traditional cleaning methods use alkali detergents to neutralize acid soils for easy removal, acid side detergents work by pushing acid soils away from the fiber. When a cleaning detergent has a negative charge higher than the soil, the soil is pushed away from the carpet and into the solution. When a cleaning detergent has a positive charge higher than the soil, the soil is pulled from the carpet and into the solution.

Advantages to acid side carpet cleaning detergents:
Automatically de-scales solution / pressure lines.
Allows polymers (encapsulation products) to be added in high enough
concentrations to be effective at high dilution ratios.
Eliminates browning/yellowing problems due to alkalinity.
Eliminates the need for acid rinsing.
Stable in consistent temperatures above 240 degrees F.

Yes Gary i would agree with you on their web site. Looking at their portfolio, the phrase little acorns springs to mind. No i am not talking about my anatomy but how big a business can be grown.

Would you like to be a big firm like this or are you happy with where you are at?

I know what you mean.  Too much pressure and it don't become enjoyable any more.  Just enjoy it now cos we are all a long time gone. You can't take the money with you, unless you want a gold coffin.

Personally mine will be more exclusive in platinum ::) ;)
