Compressor Check
After checking all wiring for accuracy, flip the
switch to its “On” position and check that air
is flowing out of the compressor.
Mixing Foam
Foam mixing takes some experience.
Different water sources may require different
amounts of chemical concentrate to obtain
the desired foam density. Water hardness,
pH, and impurities will all affect the amount
of chemical concentrate 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 to
water mixing ratios for your water source with
the initial filling. Doing so will save time in the
future and aid in consistent foam quality.
If hard water is a problem, commercial
softening agents are available. You can
make your own softening agent by dissolving
a commercial water softening powder
(available at most major household product
retailers) in hot water and adding a portion of
this mixture to your tank each time you fill it.
Experimentation will reveal the correct
amount to use. A good starting point is 1-1/2
ounces of softener per gallon of water.
Mix ratios for foam concentrates advertised
(such 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 and usability of foam. Using a
good quality marking agent such as
GOODMARK may be very important.
From 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.
