I was told you can't use the same proptioner for 12v and gas. Sounds like that was bad advice? I've wanted to add a 12v for smaller projects to my rig with my current AR45, but I did not want to deal with the hassle of getting a second smaller proportioned for adding a 12v pump. I have an open port on my proptioner - would I use a 1 inch, or smaller metering valve for the 12v.
@@Johnny-gd3bs Not bad advice. It works,, just not well and if you're setup for a 12 volt, you don't want to run a gas powered, it will stress the pump and restrict flow. Being setup for gas powered,, like you are, and running a 12 volt on it works,, just not accurate and you'll have to adjust the water valve to pull chem and soap. With our 6 port it allows you to have the correct valve sizes with the proper flow rate for both a 12 volt and a gas powered pump. For example, water and chem for AR45 and water and chem for 12 volt, then both use a common soap valve. In your case being setup for the ar45 already, you could add a water valve for your 12 volt then use the existing chem and soap valve. It won't be very accurate, but it will work. You'll also need to put in a valve to close off the bypass when you're using the 12 volt. We'll soon launch a dual pump or hybrid hydro-mixer.
@@daveg2485 two pumps siamised together for higher flow or two pumps at different times, not simultaneously. For example, have a 12 volt and a Comet P40. A lot of people have more than one pump, but no need to run at the same time.
@@Baysideclean_co exactly or no need to fire up the big pump to do a quick small job or something where you don't want high gpm. It's a way to keep from having 2 separate hydro-mixers or running smaller pump on a big hydro-mixer and having no accuracy.
Awesome...
Way too cool!! how much for the whole skid
That skid was $16k

I would use a 1/2" valve with 12V.

when you start and stop the p40 doesnt the key always have to be on the on position which could drain your battery ?
@@crystalclearwindowsllc The key does not have to be in the on position for this remote.
I need low boy tanks for the back of my pick up. Can you change those out?
I have a cover over the back of my truck so I need low tanks

How do you run multiple pumps?

Holy smokes
I want to see this in action.
I don’t understand how two pumps can run at once and pull chemical accurately thru one manifold? Can you explain
I would think it’s having 2 systems. The second machine for back up which is never a bad idea

@@midwestwashingequipmentllc1209 yes save you some money this is a great idea I love it
