Ok,..I always try and give the board the best advice from my experiences.
But one thing I know I've miscalculated is the strength of SH that is needed for a typical house wash. I always thought it was around 1%-3% that was hitting the house when DS'ing.
As part of another recent topic I did the bucket test. Until I did the bucket test I just assumed from the effectiveness of my mix that it was in that range. Well,..on another thread I mentioned doing a bucket test with my setup,...and I am at about .5% hitting the house,..and it's working very well,..which is why I thought it was much much stronger than it actually is.
For those who care,..here are my findings with my equipment.
8 GPM
200' of 3/8" hose on a reel
3-5 GPM Hi-Draw
Came up with 17:1
17 parts water to 1 part pure 12.5% would be approximately .7%
But my actual mix bucket consists of 3 gallons 12.5% 2 Gallons H2O and 8 OZ. Elemonator,..So it's actually less than .7%,...It's probably closer to .5% hitting the house.
Probably irrelevant to anyone who has read any of my posts mentioning it,..But,..just wanted to clear it up anyhow.
