hypo through a downstream
« on: September 20, 2014, 09:10:34 pm »
Been watching a few Yankee PW videos on YouTube. They use a PW to spray virtually any Chem onto a surface.

Has anyone else thought about applying hypo via a downstream injector?

Chris
You can do it that way, but you really need to get the dilution rates correct.
I used to use a Shuflo set-up for applying chemicals, easy enough to make, pump, hoses, battery, and decent lance, something to hold the chem's in and a trolley to move it around.
The shuflo could just about handle the caustics we use so for hypo it was fine.

We use these...http://www.allpumpsdirect.co.uk/comet-wheelbarrow-tank-pressure-sprayer . You need to change all the fittings to nylon....chemicals just eat brass. 10 size 45 degree nozzle gets a good spray pattern (with this pump) droplets are  a good size to prevent drift. Wfp work well at that flow rate for sensitive cleaning of areas.

That would be a possibly solution to the problem... I even looked at fitting  Schneider valve and pressurising the watering can .

Phone him up.
The only problem I see with that is applying the correct mix...we use quats at 50:1 Thats a fine mixture to be getting right.
 There would have to be some sort of choke in the line to prevent pulling up to much chemical due to fluctuations in water pressure . X-jets use these http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/sunbrite/X-Jet-Proportioner-Chart.pdf  .
These would also work ..http://www.dosatron.com/application/corrosive-concentrates

I called the other day but Damian was out. Was told he will call back but he never does.

Chris,  while your here. Do you use quats at 50:1 for everything.  Francois advised me either 30:1 or 20:1 for render and roofs.
