FOAM MARKER OPERATION
COMPRESSOR CHECK
After checking all wiring for accuracy, flip
the switch to the “on” position and check
that air is flowing out of the compressor.
MIXING FOAM
Foam mixing takes some experience. Dif-
ferent water sources may require different
amounts of concentrate to obtain the
desired foam density. Water hardness, pH,
and impurities will all affect the rate of con-
centrate required for a consistent, long-
lasting foam.
Different conditions may require different
mixing ratios to produce desirable results.
It is worthwhile to determine the proper
foam/water mixing ratios for your water
source with the initial filling. Doing so will
save time in the future and aid in consis-
tent foam quality.
If hard water is a problem, commercial
softening agents are available. You can
make your own softening agent by dissolv-
ing a commercial water softening powder
(available in most grocery stores) in hot
water and adding a portion of this mixture
to your tank each time you fill. Experimen-
tation will reveal the correct amount to
use. A good starting point is 1 1/2 ounces
per gallon of water.
Mix ratios for foam concentrates adver-
tised as 80:1 or 160:1 must be adjusted for
use with your water, such ratios are only a
guideline.
Heat, humidity, wind and crop cover will
also affect the life of foam. Using a good
quality marking agent, such as GOOD-
MARK, may be very important.
GOODMARK: Premium life, “hot weather”
foam concentrate, up to one hour life in
cooler weather, 20-40 minutes in hot
weather, good hard water tolerance.
