You wash it, sand it and then wash it down again?

I started thinking that I was using too much hypo down the joints so started applying  it after I had Re-sanded,  I also think the hypo does have a residual weed killing effect so soaking the the sand in hypo fits in with this idea.

The picture of the drive above was misted with hypo  ( not washed) the next day as I went back to clean the patio.

To be honest I not sure this is the best way to operate but i'm experimenting with different  methods

It's a dosatron, the best  and most reliable  chemical injection system available  ;)

Only  problem is they cost a fortune :-\
and also using 15% strength hypo will make poo of it in no time at all.

on dosatrons website they actually say they and be used for sanitation within agraculture using bleaches  and strong acids,  there are over 50 in the range so I guess you just need to buy the right one.

Although I would never suggest paying full price, I bought 3  USAF decontamination  water boilers ( like very high spec hotboxes) they came fitted with dosatrons, they were used for NBC  porposes to power showers....... so I bet they are used to having 45% hypo ( as used in decontamination) put through them.

So you are not a great fan of hypo then Chris?
The ratio the chap  uses going by his facebook page is quite weak compared to some.  Still I suppose ppe and wetting/rinsing down overspray/runoff areas is still a must when using hypo whatever strenghth you use.
