Scrubber and adding chemical

GW

@hot_rod are most people pulling the entire top or just the metal screw/cap to add the juices? Thanks

@GW realize I’m jumping in middle but thought I’d share my inputs. I unthread the large top for liquid additives. Holds about 12 oz I believe, I’ll run circulator for several minutes between batches for larger volumes of additive. A spanner wrench comes with the DirtMag, hopefully hanging nearby. You could also use pressure injection through the bottom drain; be sure to flush first to remove any captured debris and magnatite.

@PC7060 super ! This is my own little mechanical room at my office/shop. Everything‘s been cooperating for 17 years, but I thought it would be good to puff things up a little

yes we have the spanner wrench thing

thanks

I agree with @PC, you have iso valves so if you have a cup full or more, open the drain cock, empty the canister and then add the juice.

Also check the media while you are inside.

I have one of the cordless Milwaukee transfer pumps with a washer hose to pump into the bottom ball valve as an option.

Thanks Hot Rod , good idea about the pump set up. Do you have a certain rig that you keep for that specific purpose? How much pressure does your little pump overcome? I have not bought a Milwaukee transfer pump set up, but I’m pretty sure that’s coming up soon.

Nice, The pump has enough juice to push into pressurized system?

Edit: I see quick fingers Gary got this question in first!

I’d like to avoid adding another battery series to my shop. Found this Dewalt 20V battery compatible unit for $39.99. Worth a try.

@hot_rod - Do you pump from container filled to amount greater than target amount to avoid pumping air or stalling pump. Or pump from a bag?

The nice thing about the Milwaukee is you can turn your back on it and not worry about the 30 lb relief valve going off. Mine peaks out at 21 psi.

If it is plain water or you are purging out and back into a bucket no worry.

If you are trying to pump just a quart of conditioner you need to watch it. Although it is not really an air compressor so not much air will go in from the pump.

It is a rubber paddle positive displacement pump, so it will not take a lot of dry running.

And use short hoses so all the product is not in the hose instead of the system, when you shut the pump off :)

These Little Giants will move a lot more GPM, but only about 11 psi. Good for a quick fill, a little shy on power to purge..

that’s a floor sucker correct? I wonder if some companies keep a floor sucker in a bucket of conditioner

GW

it did not drink up the full pint

I’ll add the rest later

After 3 years I got around to running some soap, dishwasher powder, in my shop radiant system for a day, drained, flushed.

I tied the A2WHP into it so I want to start with a fresh fill with good water.

I added DI water and a bottle of the Adey. Maybe 3 weeks ago? Here is what the water looks like. A very slight brown tint, but impressively clear.

Looks great, really like the sight glass.
Comparing Milwaukee to the Dewalt clone; appears the Milwaukee has more torque.

GW

Oooh a sight glass- fancy
