Plumbing Detail: Multiple Inputs with 2-Way Valves

This setup (Figure B) uses multiple 2-way valves joined together by a manifold to switch between different water sources. The manifold combines the flow before it passes through the main flowmeter.

Important Plumbing Notes

Component Order Pay close attention to the order of the parts in the carrier line. The valves must combine into the manifold before the liquid reaches the flowmeter so that all sources are measured correctly.

Product Lines (Green)

• Size: We recommend using 1.25 to 1.5 inch (32 to 38 mm) hose for product lines.

• Why: This size offers the best balance. It allows for fast flow rates but keeps the amount of chemical trapped in the hose to a minimum.

Rinse Lines (Red) The rinse line connects between the main carrier meter and the carrier valve.

• Pressurized Side: Goes directly to the Mixmate Inductor to clean jugs.

• Non-Pressurized Side: Supplies the stack manifold.

Rinse Pump Requirements If you use a pump to pressurize the inductor, it must be powerful enough to clean effectively.

• Specs: It needs to deliver 25 Gallons Per Minute (95 Liters Per Minute) while maintaining 25 PSI (1.7 bar) of pressure.

• Power: This typically requires a pump with at least 2 horsepower (1.5 kW).

• Limit: Do not exceed 100 PSI (6.9 bar).
