Chem line curling up in bucket, not getting soap? SOLUTION HERE!

[DownEastPowerWash]

Every once in a while I have an issue with my chem line curling up in the bucket and poking the end out of the half full bucket so I would have to go back to the machine and push it back down in the soap only to have it curl back up again. Annoying!! Well I thought for a moment and came up with this cheap solution. Just bought a length of 1/2" PVC pipe and cut it to length with a slight angle on the bottom just long enough to stick up above the top of the bucket. I also drilled some holes in the pipe so the soap could flow even with the pipe on the bottom of the pail. Works awesome and can easily switch it between soaps if needed, chem line stays straight and I can use all the soap in the bucket!

That's the oldest trick in the book. I have one on the end of my hose and just drop it in my tank.

I have been known to put a plunger on the end of the soap line, and then put a filter on the line to keep the plunger on. It works, too.

Yep - plastic tube with a barb or the end of the hose to keep it straight and in place!

Been doing that for years but I use 3/4" so the filter can slide through it.

I like to put a mesh screen on mine doubles as a weight.

The chrome ones will work better Doug.
