down streaming???

[statewidehoodcleanin]

whats is down streaming, is it running the chem through the lines, having a pick up after the PSW outlet,, sorry just a new be. could some one fill me in.

and whats the best ratio when doing so? seems like you would have to make a strong batch,,

going to try it out any tips...

wow man im not gonna jump ya like im sure some one will but type in down streaming in the search tab . . its pulling chem thru an injecter after the pump

ya i know where the search is thanks just thought someone could give me a quick low down on that it is down streaming and up streaming so please don't jump me... just if you have any feed back it would be great. Thanks.

. its pulling chem thru an injecter after the pump

I thought downstreaming is where you go to catch the bigger fish ....
But really if you down stream make sure to rinse out your lines and injector good so it will work for you next time...

got it guys thanks for the info so how do you up stream???

 

[dodsonish]

Upstream is injected before the pump....same process, only different. I do believe you lose a little psi when down streaming, upstream allows your psi to remain the same.

thanks for the info

Most of the KEC guys are using this method now. The foamers are in the graveyard of tools.

I just set my truck up for downstreaming. Cant wait to try it out tomorrow. I have a 2 gun setup so i think that i am going to end up putting another injector on board so that i can have one gun for acid and the other for soap and rinse with eathier one.

ok I just got back from a job that i used the downstream injector that i installed about 12 hours ago...I have to say i am a little mad at myself. I should have done this years ago...downstreaming almost cut my time in half. and i think that with the other gun setup for it also and the right chems i could cut my time in half again.

I have been doing anything exterior but looking at KEC, I have 3, 4gpm and one 6gpm hot water but don't know if that is to much for KEC
