How much does a downstream injector dilute?
All downstream injectors will dilute your mixture. In order to use a downstream injector, the end solution of the chemical being applied must be effective at dilution rates of 8-1 and higher.
At what ratio can a downstream injector apply chemicals?
Downstream injection is a means of applying chemicals with the use of a pressure washer. It is an effective way of applying chemicals, as long as the end solution of the chemical being applied will be effective at dilution rates of 8-1 and higher. Dilution ratio depends on the GPM of your pressure washer.
How does a downstream chemical injector work?
A down stream injector works by Venturi effect. Simply put this means that the water from the pressure washer is pushed into a constricted section in the injector. As a result the increased velocity of fluid creates a vacuum, drawing in the solution.
What size downstream injector do I need?
1) What to do if your downstream injector won’t draw soap or chemical: First check to make sure the size of your injector matches the size of your machine. Usually size 1.8 is good for 2-3GPM machines, size 2.1 is good for 3-5GPM machines, and 2.3 is good for 6-8GPM machines.
What ratio does a pressure washer mix?
The pressure washer uses a fixed mixing ratio of 1:7 detergent to water.
What is a 2.1 downstream injector?
The soap injector allows you to apply soaps or cleaning chemicals at low pressure through your pressure washer. These downstream injectors are designed to apply chemical only when running under low pressure (250 psi or less). 2.1 size is for use on pressure washer with 3.0 to 4.9 gallons per minute.
Should you dilute pressure washer detergent?
Hello from Karcher – yes, most detergents for pressure washers are concentrated – typical dilution is 20 parts water to 1 part concentrated soap and be sure to mix it outside the soap tank first then fill the soap tank.
What is XJET?
The X-Jet is a nozzle that connects to a pressure washing gun and lets you shoot a variety of chemical mixes, including bleach, up to 40 feet safely from the ground. It’s a great option for soft washing because you can use it with your existing power washing equipment.
Can you use bleach in a downstream injector?
Solution: Use a typical 20 / 1 venturi style chemical injector. Do not exceeded 150 feet of pressure hose. Your 20/1 downstream injector will now pull the bleach and Green Wash solution through and your final cleaning solution at the wands tip will be . 06% bleach to water or about one half of a percent overall bleach.
What does a down Streamer do?
If you have low pressure going through, around 100 PSI or less, it allows the valve to remain open and will draw soap from the soap tank into your line. If you have high pressure the valve will shut off and no soap will be drawn.
How does chemical injector work on pressure washer?
So a chemical injector has a restrictive orifice that the water stream is forced through. It also has a small port that chemical is drawn into because of the vacuum created. Operating with low pressure at the nozzle reduces pressure on the outlet port, and the suction draws the chemical into the water stream.
What is Elemonator?
Elemonator is a liquid house wash and multipurpose cleaner that not only is bleach stable but also boosts the pH of bleach. It has great foaming and rinsing properties and the strong lemon scent does a great job of masking the smell of bleach.
What is down streaming in power washing?
The other popular option for applying chemicals is by downstreaming. This means the chemicals enter the pressure washing system via a downstream chemical injector inserted on the pressure side of the pump.
What is an upstream chemical injector?
Downstream injection introduces the chemicals after the pump, and upstream injection puts the chemicals in before the pump. Be careful about which types of chemicals you’re putting in when using upstream injection. Some chemicals wear down the parts of your pump more quickly than others.
What is an upstream injector?
There are two types of injectors: upstream and downstream injector. An upstream injector is installed on the inlet side of the pressure washer pump system. A downstream injector is installed on the outlet (discharge) side of the pump. The more commonly used one is the downstream injector.
Does sodium hypochlorite damage concrete?
So yes, bleach, or sodium hypochlorite, is safe to use on many types of siding, concrete, and other things that need to be cleaned.
What can I mix with bleach to pressure wash my house?
Mix 1 part chlorine bleach with 3 parts water in a container, for example 3 cups water to 1 cup bleach.
What is soft washing a house?
Soft washing is a cleaning method using low pressure and specialized solutions (typically bleach, water, and sometimes a surfactant) to safely remove mildew, bacteria, algae and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors.
What is AJ rod in pressure washing?
Description. Using a J-Rod nozzle holder is another way to have a variety of nozzles right at your fingertips if you choose to downstream your chemicals. Downstream methods will keep harsh chemicals out of your pressure washer and in some cases help reach those hard to get places without ladders or heavy equipment.
What is downstream detergent?
Downstream delivery has the cleaning agents brought into the washer without clearing the pump. If there are chemicals you need to use that may be too hard on your pump, such as bleach as one example, this would be the way to go.
