I think all truckmounts should come with a three way valve for switching from an alkaline to an acid rinse..


The AT came set up, I made one for the V and I'm going to copy the Pemberton creation on the new Everest..


If I ever go full time in NV, I'll follow suit

I’ve got a simplified version on my Cleanco. It came with a 2( or 2 1/2 gal.) rinse tank. I found it would run out half way through on most bigger jobs. It took me all of a week to come up with something better. I added a 5 gal Prochem jug for alkaline, and I added a 20 gal for acid. I just extended the rinse hose. When I need acid, I just put the hose into the 20 gal, when I need alkaline, I just put it in that jug. Works very well.

I like it, I generally only run 3 rinses. A acid prob 80% of the time an ammonia about 15% on white trash hell holes and a acid based encap on fine fabric

Nice! :cool:

I remember back in the day the Bridgepoint Lancer had dual draw. I always wondered why the Prochem units didn't back then. Prochem was building the Lancer for Bridgepoint. :headscratch:

One draw tube two 5 gallon rinses. Acid and emulsifier or off for soft water.

If you remember correctly...I did this years ago on my old Vortex when I was changing everything around....I have some extra valves left over if you want any....

I wish I had the selectors as well. Constantly switching between resi and commercial of varying degrees of dirty. I would be happy with two jug holders on the machine and swapping the hose between.

I’ll say this in 2.5 years on my 570

I’ve only had to replace the diaphragm on my chemical metering system!

Stainless steel for the win!
