Hydro-Force quiz

[Mikey P]

I did a bucket test today first without any metering tip which is what is commonly referred to as 4 to 1 how many gallons of rtu solution do you think that produced then I put the yellow 821 metering tip in, how many gallons do you think that produced?

The dema valve is in perfect working order and I ran it at full Ron at 600 PSI with the OEM gun and a 06 tip

 

[Mikey P]

For those of you that don't know what the bucket test is I shot a video and we'll have it up tonight explaining the whole process

If it is a 5 quart hydro?
At 600 psi
I would expect about...

7.5 gal at 4to1
13.75 gal at 8to1

 

[Mikey P]

Yes, the 5 quart jug

 

[Acp]

I always assumed 5qt at 4:1 was about 5 gallons so 8:1 10 gallons

 

[KevinD]

I always assumed 5qt at 4:1 was about 5 gallons so 8:1 10 gallons

Dependent on pressure and flow

 

[KevinD]

I always assumed 5qt at 4:1 was about 5 gallons so 8:1 10 gallons

And perfect flow will get you 5 times 5 quarts so 6.25 gal and 11.25 gal for 8 to 1

Is it a new hydro force or an old one?

Some products seam foamier than others and seam to siphon different. How much product makes a difference too. I made some strong juice today that siphoned fast I thought so I was actually putting down even more.

Why do I care?

 

[Mikey P]

Why do I care?

how much does your HF put down F'idiot?

 

[steve_64]

Adjust on the fly.

If you can't do that it doesn't matter what you put in a bucket.

Why do I care?

it's not about you, Chopplet

..L.T.A.

 

[hogjowl]

He was talking to carpet cleaners!

 

[Jimmy L]

Always thought the yellow tip was too restrictive. By the time you actually siphon any prespray thru you 've already sprayed out 5 gallons of just water.

So hence I just use NO TIP.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I use the 7qt jug.

[BIG WOOD]

Is this a RA thread?

 

[BIG WOOD]

Mikey is thinking of a witty reply to my smart ass comment. But his mind is confused because he knows I'm right. It makes Mikey very angry when I'm right. Aren't you angry Mikey!

 

[Mikey P]

wait a minute aren't you the same idiot who thought he was going to get efflorescence removed from a black slate shower stall with alkalyn carpet cleaners?

Good video Mikey. I run into guys all of the time who don't understand the value of an inline sprayer. I normally use 4-1 now. Great for powdered presprays like osr or code Red. I do flush mine with vinegar periodically to get rid of powder build up. Fastest presprayer in the world. If you're not using one, you are cheating yourself.

 

[Mikey P]

the one in the video is a multi sprayer dima on a hydro Force jug I've been running that 8 to 1 in it since I started cleaning here three and a half years ago and I've had no problems whatsoever I'm going to give this a shot with no chip cuz I don't like throwing out old tree spray that's not right for the next job but I don't do that that often so we'll see..

8-1 is fine for liquids. 4-1 is better for powders. Lately, I've been sticking to 4-1 even for liquids. Easier to monitor the output.

 

[hogjowl]

4:1 goes through the prespray too fast.

 

[Cleanworks]

4:1 goes through the prespray too fast.

Depends on what you're using and what your doing. 1 gallon gives you 4. Can you imagine taking a 2 gallon pump up or electric and spraying 4 gallons of prespray in the average home? Or 8?

 

[steve_64]

4:1 goes through the prespray too fast.

Better for using it all on one job so the jug is empty for the next. Just mix it light to start. Like I said I just use 3 scoops for most jobs. Mix it for the job not the whole day.

 

[Mark Saiger]

4 to 1 setting all the time for us.

Less chemistry to dilute in those 4 to 5 quarts of water.

Our P-Lime-Zyme is set up for 4 to 1 metering also to apply.

We do carry two multi sprayer brand sprayers on each van and a new Dema valve on each van just in case.

I am going to purchase a new Multi Sprayer here shortly.

Will test new against older unit when I get it

Marty gets all excited when Mike starts making videos with buckets.

 

[DAT]

Did bucket test with Hydroforce using portable at 350 psi. 4 qt container produced 5 gallon, no tip.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

4:1 exactly
