About the Hydroforce Revolution

[Old Coastie]

I am still wanting to insert rinse chemical or other products inline. But when I look at Hydroforce, they all specify 250-1000 psi.

Using house water only gives me maybe 90 psi. Do you think the Hydroforce will siphon properly at lower pressure and flow? Here is one typical offering:

I think they make a low psi version if not by them another brand

They will still draw at the lower pressure. Bucket test so you know your numbers.

 

[D Luke]

I would think it would still draw but it cuts your pressure by 75% +/-.

If you're only starting with 90 psi you will probably only end up with a trickle.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

NO.

Try it and measure.

Why?

Snob. Probably drink sweet tea with your pinkie extended.

Why...


do you want to spray a rinse down?

Why...


do you want to spray a rinse down?

SOMETIMES...you want to use the product without running it thru the chem injection and 200' of hose, with the delay of purging one chemistry before going to the next- and back.

 

[Old Coastie]

Yes. What I want to do is prespray, then insert a rinsing agent inline. Maybe on occasion a deodorizer like SaigerCide.

on paper it seems that having residual acid rinse in your solution line would effect your pre spray but it never does

 

[J Scott W]

The sprayer would still draw at 90 PSI but the dilution rate would be greatly altered.

As Lee suggests, you could use a bucket to figure out the dilution. But I think each home and even the same home at different times of day is likely to have different pressure from the tap. So, even the bucket would not give a result that could always be counted on.

I never had problems using a hydroforce with my bane at low pressure. Just adjust your strength as you go. Some jobs I water it down more than others. Just keep your rinse steady untill you find the right balance then you can adjust that too.

I like to add my deodorizers to the prespray for dwell time instead of as a rinse. I tried the rinse way for a few years with different products but the only deodorizer I found that kinda works as a rinse is odorcide.

Just move faster!


Not a bad idea for odor products.
