Chemcial rinse settings

[Rich Holcomb]

I am wondering how much rinse solution I should be drawing for approximately 75 gallons of waste water.

I marked my solution jug on my last cleaning job and with 75 gallons of waste water I had only drawn about an inch down on the solution jug, (five gallons).

My chemical setting is set between 2 and 3 but I am thinking that something may either be plugged or not calibrated correctly.

Dilution rates vary by product. A common dilution ratio is .5 oz per gallon ready to use. This works out to approximately 1 gal of stock solution per 10 gallons of water. If your stock mix is 24 oz per 5 gal container. I think. For Powders anyway.
Liquids are usually 32 oz per 5 gal stock container.

I would check your draw, that seems a little low. that is 2or3 gallons an hour and 75 gal. waste probably took 45 min at least in normal cleaning,so it should have gone down more than 1 inch.

I agree with Kevin, it is low.
The siphon pull is also greatly influenced by the pressure of water coming from the water hose. (Assuming you don't carry your own water.) I wish they would come with a flow regulator to eliminate that issue.

Anyhow, the chemical meters are not very accurate to begin with. I set it at the number I need, I start on the low side, and check how much it pulls and also how it is cleaning. Some places require more, some you can do with less.

Best of luck
