0 Jerry 24 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Downstream chemical injectors are super-sensitive to “flow-restriction”.. rusty fittings, especially rusty hose-ends are really bad. The heater iis flow restriction, Lots of hose on a reel is, The reel swivel is a flow restrictor too. Installing your injector of choice at the inlet of the hose reel would work fine, BUT.. Do it on a quick coupler, so you can remove it when you don’t need it. Or, use the ST61 injector.. it’s the one -size- fits –all (from 2 to about 8gpm), It is adjustable for system-flow, and you can open up the venturi to NOT restrict flow when you don’t need chemical, and they work at any flow-rate, with any hose length, before, or after your heater. They are very easy to adjust, and you can leave it on, if you like. I think DEMA will have larger ones too, but the ST series is VERY affordable. Call one of the parts dealers about that. :) Edited March 13, 2011 by Jerry add-in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Curb Appeal 14 Report post Posted March 14, 2011 I use a super suds sucker from envirospec. It has replaceable orifices inside that you can change out to fine tune it to your setup. I also have a 2gpm delavan pump that feeds my injector so that I get the same draw rate no matter how much hose I have hooked up. I've had 1000' of hose on it and still get over 30% draw rate.
