Kit Highlights:

Dual 90 PSI pumps = 7.4 GPM of flow at typical 60 PSI spraying pressure

Easy to mount wall plate that's ready to mount to truck, trailer or van

Three Metering valves for full control over water, SH and Surfactant. 

All parts to plumb the system from the hose barbs in through to the reel. 

Spray at 4 gpm at 90 PSI




Ships Ready to install:

This kit ships with posts for mounting the pump, electrical wiring done, and the bracket/metering system mounted. 

Just install pumps and connect the quick connects and you are ready to clean. 

Mounting screws required. Plate comes with 1/4" clearance holes. Pickup 6 1/4" screws with the length you need to mount to a support bar, side or divider wall. 


Plumbed for MAX flow:

With 3/4 in plumbing, this system is ready to output 7.4 GPM at 60PSI to the reel. 

3/8" barb for surfactant/masking agent

3/4" barb for SH line

3/4" barb for water

3/4" barb for output



Backed by Dual Pumps:

Two pumps offer a combined 7.4 GPM at 60PSI to the reel. 

Dual 12V pumps offer "limp mode" if one fails. That's 3.8 GPM at 60PSI IF you see a pump failure, compared to 100% when a single pump fails.

No down time = no headaches on the job and no upset customers when equipment fails. 



12v Diaphragm Style Pumps offer different flow rates at certain PSI pressure
You control the flow volume you want by changing the tip size
A small tip generates more pressure, sort of like putting your thumb over a garden hose end, you get a higher pressure spray.

If you want more flow, more chemistry sprayed from the gun, increase your tip size.

At higher pressures a diaphragm pump will produce less flow., the sweet spot for this system is 55 to 65 PSI for great flow.

This system includes the two pumps you will need for soft washing and rinsing.
You would need:
Storage Tanks and hoses for water and the input chemicals
Water + 3/4in Suction Hose from Water Tank to the Metering System
SH (sodium hypochlorite, bleach tank +1/2in Suction Hose from SH Tank to the Metering System
Surfactant (Could use 5 gallon Bucket) + 3/8in clear braid line from Surfactant tank to Metering System)

Mixing Setup  -  Metering Initial Setup 

There is no exact science to where the valves are going to be set for your spraying needs. This will get you close to start and you will need to tune to your needs. The goal is to use as little sH and Surfactant as possible and still get a fast complete and well spread out spray that sticks to the surface from the wand.

The ratio is based upon the difference of the flow allowed by each of the metering valves, Water, SH Sodium Hypochlorite
the strength of the SH (12.5%, 10% Pool Bleach and 6% Retail Store Bleach in a bottle)

Adjust the Surfactant to use as little as possible,
but still see the sudsing  action and mix spreading action on the sprayed surface

When using 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite
For a 6% hot SH Mix, for very bad roof mold

  • The Water Valve is set to 10
  • The Bleach Valve is set to 10
  • The Surfactant is set t0 1 to 2


When Targeting a 3% sH mix using 12.5%
The settings will be similar to this:
  • The Water Valve is set to 10
  • The Bleach Valve is set to 4
  • The Surfactant is set t0 1 to 2
When targeting siding, fences, decks and other building surfaces a 1% to 2% mix is appropriate
Start with these settings to Target a 1.5% mix
  • The Water Valve is set to 10
  • The Bleach Valve is set to 2
  • The Surfactant is set t0 1 to 2
Note: These settings are not exact but a good starting point.
As the SH ages it will lose potency, so older bleach, pool bleach that will cause you toi increase the SH numbers

Note on Using store bought bleach   

6% Retail Bleach or stale 12.5% SH or Stale 10% Pool Bleach where the contents have degraded to  less potency.

If you are at 10 on the bleach and 10 on the water  and feel you need a stronger mix review below 

This can easily happen with store bought beach that was on the shelf for 6 months...

Turn the water down from 10 to 6 and see how the strength looks when spraying. Are you getting the browning action you wated...
You can continue to turn the Water down until you get a good browning and clean rinse.

Watch the mix spread out on the surface
if the mold is browning nicely (dying) and is rinsing clean
you want to use just enough to get a good clean, but not waste the SH.
So with good browning and a clean rinse you have enough SH in the mix,
You can adjust the SH down until the browning is slower than you would
like and then adjust back up for a good browning action.

Output to the wand….

3/4in Clear Braid Line from the metering system to your Reel Swivel Barb
1/2in minimum (or better 5./8in) Clear Braid Hose on the Reel 150 to 200ft of spraying hose
Trigger Gun on end of the hose to spray with a selection of spray tips.

The plate dimensions are:

21in wide by 12in high,

  • The holes in the corner are 18in wide 1.5in in from the edge on the long side
  • The center hole is 10.5 in in from the edge on the long side
  • The holes are 11in apart on the short side.

The installation needs 4 to 5 inches above and below the plate to accommodate the pumps and allow for clearance of the hose connections. So a 22 wide by 22 high dedicated space would be sufficient

Proposition 65 requires businesses to provide warnings to Californians about significant exposures to chemicals that cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.  These chemicals can be in the products that Californians purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment. By requiring that this information be provided, Proposition 65 enables Californians to make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals. Proposition 65 also prohibits California businesses from knowingly discharging significant amounts of listed chemicals into sources of drinking water. Proposition 65 requires California to publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. This list, which must be updated at least once a year, has grown to include approximately 900 chemicals since it was first published in 1987. Proposition 65 became law in November 1986, when California voters approved it by a 63-37 percent margin.  The official name of Proposition 65 is the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

The list of chemicals contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be byproducts of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust.  For more information visit www.p65warnings.ca.gov/
