I built that system 5 years ago. The comet pump is old hat.
The Dosatron in the video is for mixing bleach at 4:1 not bio-cide at 30:1.

Who is that video aimed at?  Complete novices who have zero knowledge of pumps?

I could build one of them with crap I have hanging  around my unit

Very few pumps will handle bleach...hence  I chose the Comet. The grey body ones are Viton sealed.

Why allow the chemical to go through the pump, I think hydraforces injection sprayers as used by carpet cleaners could be easily adapted for softwashing.

I use one that's 10yrs old and still working perfect, I'll try and find a link to them, they work at 80-500psi

Here yea go...

Nothing works at a 1:8 mix. some large buildings require 100Lof mix plus ..that would take forever at 5 qt at a time.
Even though I don't know what 5qt is....I do know it aint enough ;D

They come with various tips which alters the  dilution upto  36-1 but you can put a 4-1 mix in the concentrate container with puts out a final dilution of  32-1 with no tip, but if the 36-1 tip is fitted and the a 2-1 dilution put In the container then you get 72-1

You can create any dilution you require

They are a 1gl container so fill it once  with a 2-1 mix and you would create 72gl of RTU solution without the need to refill

Interesting posts Mike.
So for people that don't have expensive carpet cleaning van mounts what sort of pump setup would you need to get that to work?
Also there is no mention of the max lpm flow rate of that chem injector so do you know what it is?

Yep that should work...an x-jet will do the same thing if you have a pressure washer.

.

That's the only problem with these sprayers they do reduce the flow so are no good for high flow washing but for apply pre sprays or softwashing through a brush then they should work.

Carpet cleaners use these on pumps from 80psi up to pressure washer pumps of 1500PSI plus they can also handle high temps

Can you run biocide 20:1 through your standard pressure washer?
