Viper Venom dilution rates using Hydro Force

[Russ T.]

Hi Guys,
I use a hydro force sprayer for prespray and am hoping I can use it for Viper Venom as well. Any suggestions? Do I leave the yellow metering tip on? Thank you!

I'd have more concerns of should you use it. ???

It's going to aerosolize the product in the air and you and you client will be breathing it in which isn't good. Plus you'll also risk over spray onto sensitive materials.

Personally I'd use a pump-up or an electric sprayer before I'd use a Hydroforce, just a little better control. That's what we use and have had no problems.

Thanks Doc.
I took your advice and used my pump sprayer. The job went well. I had about 2700 sq. ft. of tile to clean and I don't normally have such big tile jobs so I appreciate the tip.

Something that size you might have been fine, but why risk it. Congrats!

something that big use a mop and bucket

A mop and bucket? For tile and grout?

I mix my tile juice in a bucket, pour some on the floor and use a Rubbermaid flat mop to GENTLY spread it around.


using a hydroforce around wood doors, stainless appliances and the like is a sure way to get into serious trouble.

uhh yea...mix it in the bucket, and either pour it like mikey...(though you better watch it, or it could go everywhere)

or put your mop in, pull it out, let it drain a little, and then spread the extra wet mop around....no spraying wood, no atomizing that chem, easy to control

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. The mop makes perfect sense. Don't know why the directions didn't mention being so cautious with a sprayer?

Nice job! Mop a bucket do work well, if you go that route, I'd use the flat mop Mike suggests, it again gives you better control than the old school string mops.
