Quinn,

Everything is done off of the pump. We just switch the yellow levers to transfer, mix or spray and the blue lever next to the pump draws the surfactant in the square bottles behind the pump.

 Does pumping the surfactant create a lot of suds? Landis and I are splitting a drum of Roof Snot and we weren't sure if we could pump it or not.

In our box truck we use to pour 2 cups into our mix and stir it.

With the new set up we decided to use a plastic refrigerator hose with a valve to adjust a draw into the spray hose. It is working great and it seems like we are using less surfactant so far. The pictures below are with the new surfactant draw system.

 How are you rinsing your pump? How are you pulling off of your tanks!

 Brian,

We do not rinse the pump. To remove the tanks we lift it with a hilo or by hand if they are empty.

To shoot chem we switch both yellow levers down and to transfer we put both yellow levers level out.
