View attachment 11469 Hello,
Anyone have any ideas how to get my lava wall to look more like a wall? I’m currently running a 10 gpm injector with no versadial and 45 psi of air pressure. Product is coming through a 1/2 diameter hose into to a 4 line manifold that feeds into 4 foamers.
I did not want to deal with typical product usage for the Sheet / wall applications so I made my own applicator. - Uses 1 Flo Jet at 15PSI and a Vacuum motor for air injection.
That looks great! Do you have any pictures of the applicator you made or any pictures the back room set up? I'm curious how exactly your plumbing the vacuum motor in. Really looks good!I did not want to deal with typical product usage for the Sheet / wall applications so I made my own applicator. - Uses 1 Flo Jet at 15PSI and a Vacuum motor for air injection.
You need a a lot of volume. 15GPM is not going to do it. The 1/2" hose feeding 1/2" tube to four foamers won't either. I have a full wall at my tunnel location and I use a dosatron pump rated from 500:1 to 50:1. You air is also way too high. A lot of people think you need a lot of air but you need volume and minimal air. All my air settings for lava bars are between 5-15 PSI. Taking a guess but Im probably at 60-75:1 with a 3/4" hose feeding three foamers. It's a full sheet but waste of money. Check out Earls video. Looks great and probably costs way less per car.View attachment 11469 Hello,

Just a vacuum hose from the Back room to the unit. Unit is a 6 foot plastic (Cut to length) trench drain from Menards. In the unit are 2 PVC lines T'd in the center. 1/2" for the liquid with 1/8 ich holes drilled every 6 inches facing down. The air is 2" to attach to the Vac Hose but reduced at the T to 1" with 1/4 inch holes facing down drilled every 6 inches.That looks great!

I got you. Are you using 1/2" hose or tube for the chemical coming from the floret? Does the trench drain have the ends on it? If you have time one day take some pics please.Just a vacuum hose from the Back room to the unit. Unit is a 6 foot plastic (Cut to length) trench drain from Menards.
