what to charge for applying hypo
« on: June 24, 2015, 10:05:50 am »
hve been using hypo on couple of jobs just to get a bit of experience using it

if you guys think you are going to need it as part of the job how much do you charge for this service obv depending on size of area but and number of times to be used and dilution rates or do you just factor it in to your end price

I just assume I will be using it,  the cost is relatively small. If I had to treat a full £350 priced driveway then I would expect to use approx  15lt at a cost of £10, I could add it into the price but my prices are on the high side so its really already built in.

I used a water can upto last week and mixed it about 5-1. been using this set up  which flows at 8-1 but I have a bucket of 2-1 which is needed for really bad bits.  This has a sprinkle gun on the end.

That is a nifty setup you have there Mike, does the tap pressure have to be high ?

No, it's actually fitted with a pressure restrictor to stop the pressure being too high.

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

Only  problem is they cost a fortune :-\

I thought that Chris. Get an xjet, Chris sells them for too much but still worth every penny 😃

Too much  ;D
A guy on facebook is selling them for £179 but you can import one yourself a bit cheaper or flutter you eyes at Chris and see if you can get a discount  :)

That was before  I washed the drive down, normally I give a second application of weak hypo once I've re-sanded

An x jet would be a good addition but it won't do the job of a dosatron as the dosatron works at low pressure and multiple dilution rates ( down to 1%)
