Thanks for the video. I would have liked to have seen the test done with high pressure tips and gauge so we could see the pressure increase with the bypass open both with the correct size injector (2.3 mm) and the 3 to 5 GPM (2.1mm) undersize injector.
Engine RPM also plays a roll in the gpm not being perfect. I need to get a bypass you guys still have them in stock.i also need a brass unloader block for mounting it?
Wouldn't a quick connection do the same job just unclip the injector and clip the hose back in? Granted its not a quick a turning a valve but would be cheaper option?
@@Powerwash yeah I was thinking only reason for leaving injection in was for speed. I've just got a water powered mixing stem well tap or 12v pump can go before the SH so all the pump is pumping is water to the T like unit that doesn't matter if 1gpm or 20gpm is flowing through it. Will mix perfectly all the time fully adjustable I've some more practicing to do with it but you guys over pond will love it am sure cheap ish well about the same as a softwash mixing system and it's SH safe also they sell 1 that's hydrofluoric safe 😊 perfect mixing small light and by looks of things very well made I will be doing a video about how it works fairly soon come on over next week or so 👌
There’s absolutely no noticeable difference that will save you any time, the bypass is only good for rinsing your down streamer if you have a shut off valve on it. I think it rinses itself anyways when not drawing chem but not 100% on that.
You most likely won't notice it. That is why we did the demonstration. But it does make a difference and will save time. Thought it may be small it will add up in the long run. If you find ways to continually make small improvements it will pay big benefits over time. This is one of those small improvements.
How do we know the engine didn't slow down towards the end since it was running on fumes? I get the concept but not totally sold. Maybe try another video, injector first then followed by bypass?
Thanks for vid! I have similar machine. Say, is it ok to run the machine without any tips like you did in your water volume gpm test? (Does the pump need a certain amount of backpressure?) So can I rinse with a ball valve , without a wand and tip? Also, if you did have a wand and tip for your gpm test, would that have made a restriction to maybe make the test come out to 8 gpm instead of 9?
It doesn't hurt to run it without a tip. Tip size will effect the GPM and PSI. So it is important to use a nozzle chart to find the right size the achieve the desired PSI and rated GPM
Mike is Right, it makes a difference, 1/2 - 3/4 gallon doesnt sound like much but keep in mind that test was based on 1 minute. Take your average rinse time and then factor in the loss of flow. Great video Mike. Of course removing the injector for rinsing is the best method but it takes time to shut down, remove injector, and restart. I added a ball valve on my jump hose right before the hose reel. Pump, 8 foot Jump Hose, ball valve, injector, hose reel. Instead of switching to bypass, we close ball valve, remove injector, open valve and continue spraying. Kind of annoying though when u want to soap again. I feel like I get a lot more flow with it removed vs. bypass. Will do a similar test tomorrow to see. Thank u for the videos Mike. www.KtPowerWashing.com
@@ktpowerwashing the bypass works great. One thing you need to do is switch the location of the ball valve and the injector. This way you get a straight line of flow when rinsing or using a Surface Cleaner versus the water going around the loop in the bypass setup.
Incorrect. You will speed up cleaning time by about 9%. For every 10 hours you will get an hour saved. If you do 40 hours a week thats 4 hours. If you do 52 weeks of work in a year full time thats 208 hours. Which is 5.2 weeks of work. Damn near a month and a half you saved to be more productive. That's worth $100 to me
@@HouseWashingRick because the hole that goes thru the down stream injector where the water flows thru is a 2.1 orifice per the manufacture, General Pump.
I have a question if anyone can answer. I'm not sure if I'm right, or severely math-challenged. I'm using straight 10% SH (No dilution) My machine is pulling 7:1 This means I'm spraying 1.25% SH? It's been a long day. If my mix is 50/50, I'm spraying .63% SH? We hope to be up & running within a month. Here in Central Florida.

Wow thank you, bro, 3 videos and I have learned a lot of good stuff
Great video!!! Can't wait for more!

see the pressure increase with the bypass open both with the correct size injector (2.3 mm) and the 3 to 5 GPM
(2.1mm) undersize injector.
Why not move the injector to the "loop", then you'll have an unimpeded flow, thru the ball valve.
Easy to say from the future
Yes sir that all changes depending on a the tip selection
Great video buddy
Engine RPM also plays a roll in the gpm not being perfect.
I need to get a bypass you guys still have them in stock.i also need a brass unloader block for mounting it?
Give us a call 1-800-433-2113. We got what you need
@@Powerwash Awesome thanks!!
Its is good to have. I don't think it is a needs for the equipments. Since machine is already producing +GPM than what it was mentioned. 😁😁
That's cool. 😁
do you prefer this over the remote shut off? You can rinse faster with the bypass but you need to walk to the machine every time.
Wouldn't a quick connection do the same job just unclip the injector and clip the hose back in? Granted its not a quick a turning a valve but would be cheaper option?
Yes, it would but that time savings is the point of using the bypass

@@Mobileblaster Sweet!!! I look forward to seeing the video.
hello, how to reduce water from pressure while using injector to make more foam than water??

It's basically a 10% increase in flow, how is that not a noticeable difference?
10% is 10% none the less. 10% adds up over time. I'd like to have 10% of a million dollars right now.
How do we know the engine didn't slow down towards the end since it was running on fumes? I get the concept but not totally sold. Maybe try another video, injector first then followed by bypass?
Thanks for the comment. The engine speed did not change as you would have heard it changing speed in the video.

@@Powerwash thanks for the fast reply! Have a good one. -nate
3/4 or 1/2 gallon is not going to make a big difference the only time I shut the injector off as if I'm doing flatwork
Yes, it helps considerably with the surface cleaner as well.

@@ah-rr1lk All of these comments I'm reading and you're the first person that understands the math of it.
any difference if you remove the both from line?
I don't understand your question. Can you please rephrase it.
Powerwash.com if you remove the bypass and injector and connect the hose directly to pump, will it be more flow than 9 gallons per minute?
@@Igor-q3f Maybe a very very small amount. You would not be able to notice
2.1 , is that 2 gallons of water to one gallon of bleach?? or 2 gallon of bleach to 1 gallon of water
2.1 is is the size of the downstream injector orifice. It has nothing to do with mix ratio.
@@Powerwash ok ty . why is it called 2.1 sir
