Injector problem

Hi Guys
I am setting up my new unit and have a problem not pulling any soap from chem tank. I believe that the
200ft of high pressure is causing too much resistance or ristriction to create the venturi action that I need. I am running a 5.5gpm unit with 3000psi and 200ftof hose.
I tried a 50ft hose and I had plenty of soap.
I ordered a new injector rated for 3-5gpm think that it will make a difference? But I would really like to just modify this injector if possible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Tim

Tim,

I have the same machines and I also use 200ft of hose on each machine.......but I never use the injector system......I even have a nice little 35 gallon chem tank, that has never had anything in it! I strictly use the xjet. Sorry I can't help.....but if all else fails, go with the xjet.

Hi Tim,

We were told that you should not have more than 100 foot of hose to use an injector. We prefer to use a hose-end sprayer.

I have had the same problem. You need to get a high draw injector, such as a J.E.Adams, or an Allison. Both of these injectors work very well. They have a 10 to 20% draw rate.

Yes,I think the new one you ordered will work better,even work better if you get one rated 4-5.3.

When I'm doing farm eqt. I use 200ft. of hose and do not have no trouble drawing chemicals with the downstreamer.Don't know what make it is,it has a 2.3mm orifice,nonadjustable,cheap at 9.50.You may need to go with a bigger chemical tip with that much hose.

Alot of people will leave the downstreamer on the rig and think it should last forever.I run acid though mine only and take it off every night and let it set in a real real weak soap mix (not casutic),its part of my p/w so I take care of it.</FONT c></FONT f>

Thanks guys
When all else fails I use the xjet it sure puts the soap on quick. Just hate dragging around the bucket.
I also ordered a larger soap nozzle tip . So we will see if combined with the new injector maybe it will do the job. I need to post a picture of my new trailer it is really starting to come along. But I spend all my money so I will have to wait on putting lettering on it till spring. Thanks again Tim
