I've just discovered that other than the control valves, you can get all of those parts at your local Lowe's or home depot for less than 1/2 the price, and that is not even including the 10% military discount. I'll be building this valve for a lot less than 200 bucks. Thanks for the tips sir. Your videos are helping me to save a lot of money on my business startup cost. I have subscribed.
I bought a lot from menards. I like there fitting the best
Got lucky and amazon had the those metering valves on sale for 30 each! I built mine for under 150
We sell them for 350$ as well. Lots of guys make their own. We’ve been running them a couple years now with no issues.
Good video
Awesome so if anyone wants one buy his. Lol this way I don’t have to put another one together
Power Washing here’s a link. We probably sold about 100 of them this year. Everyone likes this design pretty good. Your exactly right on over tightening. It’ll crack one in a heart beat.
southeastsoftwash.com/product/blend-manifold/
@@southeastsoftwash4020 you guys' skids sure are nice, it'd be nice to get a one someday. When I make enough money for one. 👌
Bo L be glad to build ya one!
@@southeastsoftwash4020 Don't the 1/2" check valve for the shc need viton o'rings ? I haven't seen a buna o'ring hold up very long when exposed to bleach, or could it be switched out to viton ?
Jason Geiman thanks for another great video! Your content gets better and better! I'm noticing your camera man has even stepped his game up, I seen some nice zoom in action here and there! Great work!!!!!!
The more you do it the better you get
Thanks Mr Jason
I used a 4 way ball valve hose splitter and it works good. Had to add check valves on the hose.
Awesome
Why a 4 way and not just a 3 way
@@kingofpressurewash it was made as a 4 way, a 3 would have been better.
Bo L ok I was just wondering
@@kingofpressurewash thanks for your videos they are really good work!
Jason. I want to order one of these. Can you please do a video on what settings you recommend based on the job? Would love to show employees a video on how to dial it in.
Hi have one in the que it’s pretty long
Agree. A video on the settings would be great
awesome been needed to build one of these myself instead of buying the ones they sell for WAY too much
Awesome glad I could help you
I was just wanting this yesterday! Thank you for another great video! You are the man.
Yep weve sold about 70 this year so far and over tightening can be an issue!
Plastic can only take so much
Good video Jason. I have been using ball valves instead and they work but have a tendency to loose their
prime. Check valve may fix that though. I may build one of these. Again very good video. 👍
Yeah check valve definitely helps from loosing prime
Great video Jason, have you ever made a remote system for 2 step truck washing?
I have made one for bleach. Problem I have is hard to find a good valve and not pay arm and leg
Good information. And a great place to get them from
Awesome thanks for watching the videos
Would it be ok to build this exactly the same except for with a 3/4 inch barb at the top going into the pump. I want to fee my 7 gpm with a 3/4 hose. Is this even necessary?
Been some time.. but do you know of control valves that could be powered by say, 24v and open/close to various levels to allow a variety of mixes between water, SH and surfactants? Is there a limit to the number of these you can put on.. not sure there would be a need for more than three.. but perhaps one for degreaser, another for a different stain remover, etc. What is the overall pressure these items need to handle? I assume since they are typically connected at the low pressure spigot/hose before the pressure washer pump.. they basically need to be large enough like 5/8" to handle 5gpm to 10gpm flow rates?
Great job Jason thank you!
Thanks for watching man
Do you have a mic ratio chart for this?!
can the be mounted on there side?
I want to buy one can you please send me the link
Great video .Do you recommend using the center line for water in...Thanks
I put sh on one side and water on the other. Soap is in the middle
@@kingofpressurewash thanks jason...
Where do you get the valves and the types that Southeast Softwash currently uses?
Awesome Jason. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching
Hey Jason would it be better to use 3/4 for better flow I saw where you use 3/4 on suction side
you can but i noticed when i was doing roof mix so both valves all the way on i had to turn the pressure up on pump to keep it running and not pulsing the pump
@@kingofpressurewash ok thx
Great video, I’m going to make one myself.
Awesome you may also want to check out my other video I just did with the newer valves
Could you please explain the difference between the $135.00 ball valve and a regular ball valve that I can get at a hardware store for less than $20.00.
Is pipe dope any more resilient than PTFE thread tape? Bleach or leak resistant? Thanks. BTW you just saved me $400. You're a super star.
Pipe dope is a little eat when Installing
@@kingofpressurewash no idea what you mean. lol
What do you think of the valves you are using VS the GF metering Valves?
Gf valves are better
@@kingofpressurewash Thanks for the info brother….really enjoy your channel. I figured they were better but are they worth the cost compared to the pentaire valves which are pretty much a 3rd of the cost. I want to build a system…I’m willing to spend the extra money if you think it’s worth it
How do you determine the settings you need for different strength mixes? Do you experiment with different settings and calculate it based on the settings for your pump?
I did a bucket test to see how much it was pulling. And through that bucket test I knew what percentage is I was porn at what and how much I was pulling chemical wise
@@kingofpressurewash There are 3 valves. 1 for water, 1 for SH and 1 for surfactant. To test for the SH% do you test it with the water valve open all the way? Do you have to turn off the surfactant valve so it has no affect on the test?
Chris Lane I ran it with my water valve all the way open. And then I also ran it with my surfactant where I thought it needed to be also which is barely cracked open
@@kingofpressurewash Thanks for taking time to respond.
Jason before i build this do you have any remmencond dial settings to pull a 3% MIX using 12% sh.Thanks
You really need to do a bucket test to make sure what it’s pulling
I have a video coming to see how much it’s pulling
Probably the most helpful CZcams Subscription/ videos I've ever watched. Thank you, Jason!
@@thomasgale5368 Thanks man
@@kingofpressurewash that'll be cool to see a bucket test done.
So what is your usual percent range for roofs 4 to 5 Or around 50/50? I know it depends on the filth but I mean on average.
Bo L 5-6 percent so a 50/50 mix
I realize I can use this for soft washing.
But can I use it with my pressure washer to mix my SH water and surfactant?
What's better direct drive pumps or belt driven? I have a 14 horse predator engine 420 cc. I'm researching a pressure pump for it and I haven't seen any comparisons of the two styles of pumps I've mentioned, any and all help is appreciated.
I like the belt driven pumps for the fact that you don’t have all that weight hanging off of the housing of the motor. Some direct drives won’t pull water either
Hello Friend, I have the same type of valve in my soft wash equipment with the three-valve manifold, but I have noticed that when I stop using it, if I do not close the valves, the water from the tank goes to the chemical tank. You have any idea what it might be. Greetings from Miami fl
Hello, I have questions about the proportioner, I understand that on goes in sh, one in water and one in soap tank( small nipple) my question is this: do you dilute the soap down first ( elemonator) and then it goes trough the proportioner or do you just pull it as is.? Does that make sense?
most people dilute it down
Thank you
@@kingofpressurewash thank you
Can u give a good ratio? For example 5 gallons of water how many oz of soap?
You would run this valve to your down stream injectior?
Brently Byers no this is for soft washing using a dedicated pump like 12v
can i hook this up to my power washer
Wet Windows Guy no
Not made for those pressures
But I can use liquiforce
Oh you mean for your downstream hose. I would just do a three way valve
I run 3/4 in hose from tanks then 5/8 soft wash hose for application. Does size of manifold matter?
Yes it can have affect on it
So I should run 5/8 pickup hose?
Conner Clark is your pump running ok with the 3/4 hose
what meter number you put on sh side for house wash?
1 is 1/2 percent and 2 is 1%
i see where you use 3/4 on suction side would it be better making one with 3/4" parts
tough to find for reasonable price. 1inch gets even more ridiculous.. rare pieces after 1/2"
Wats a good oil stain remover for concrete and brick
A good degreaser. Ebc or purple power
caution at 2:50 it will blow your eardrums. I had to use ear buds to hear the first part then the bomb went off you almost got a thumbs down but the rest I like so far... back to the video
sorry about that. hope your ears are ok
I’m trying to figure out where to buy bulk chemical/bleach that is a strong concentration an a good brand of surfactant/soap. I’ve been sticking to purple power for soap an Lowe’s 1 gallon bleach concentrate, the bleach works well It’s worked so far but I sometimes have more trouble then I want with my batch’s being not strong enough an end up having to go back to the store to get my chemical. I’ve been making batches in a 8 gallon tote that I carry around on a little cart where I use a downstream receiver hooked up to my pressure washer so I don’t run it through my pressure washer pump. I’ve looked everywhere in my area an have hit a wall every time. recommendations please I’d greatly appreciate it!
Try to look up industrial chemical supplier
Where are you located?
What did you use to hand the manifold to the wall of the trailer?
Are use some plastic hoops that were used to hold electrical pipe to the wall
@@kingofpressurewash can't seem to find any deep enough
Jason where can I order the half an inch chemical hose that you use?
amzn.to/2xyWbJh
Thank you..
Great Videos as always. Would you say it would be 1/2" hosing into the proportioner (water and chlorine line) and then 5/8" out into the pump and then 5/8' through for the applicator/house wash hose?
I would maybe even go three-quarter from the proportion or to the pump
You dont want to be going all Herculese on them id say ..😃
Where can I order the parts from?

@@kingofpressurewash thank you sir.
Jason I decided to build one of these and it turned out pretty good. Just wondering do you really need a water valve since it is open 100% of the time?
I run mine with the 3 valves but wondering if I could get more flow without the water valve. Just run a check valve and 1/2 plastic pipe instead.
I run a 7 gpm North Star 12 volt pump.
Seemed to loose some distance after installing the mixing manifold . Was batch mixing and using ball valves before.
Thanks
No you really don’t need to the water valve other than priming the sh and stuff. I did have to adjust my pump so that way it would actually run right when all three valves are open
Power Washing I am going to take the Pentair water valve off. Still run a check valve though. May run a one minute bucket test and see if there is any flow difference before and after with the water valve. Thanks man for doing this video. Saved me some money and the mix valve is sweet. No more batch mixing 👍
Who makes that green surface cleaner?
Made by vortex
Correction on one of the parts jason. On your website you have listed 3 -1/2 inch 90 elbow female to male. And you on this video are using female to female elbows.
Yeah that’s because the parts are ordered was the inch and a half and not half inch so I had to make went to work
Great video!! Poor sound quality!
Ithanks
Guys dont buy the parts for this stuff off of amazon you will pay 300 or 400 percent MORE than its average price, do a simple copy paste search to find way better prices.
Sorry dude great video but I don't think people need to spend that much from amazon
This is old. I’ve been building these for less than $150
So where you get the parts for 150
Zoro.com
@@brianhilderbrand9181 they don't even sell the valves
This was too painful to continue viewing… ugghhh
No disrespect but $350…
😂🤣😂
Parts are more than that now
