How do I switch from powder soap to liquid?

Not knowing what you have now makes it pretty hard to tell you what you’ll need. At a minimum you’re going to need a 511 Hydrominder https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-21...w-volume-unit-with-siphon-breaker-45-gpm.aspx a mixing tank for the Hydrominder. The Hydrominder pulls the liquid soap out of the container and mixes it where it’s stored in the holding tank. https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-2030-stainless-steel-wall-tank-12h-x-6w-x-10l.aspx you don’t need a big tank, the level of the chemical will be replenished by the Hydrominder when it draws in more chemical. If you already have a Hydrominder and a tank all you’ll have to do is switch over to a liquid soap.
I have an approximately 30 gallon stainless steel tank that I mix the powder soap into the water manually. The tank gravity flows to a 1/4 pvc pipe with a T for each pump. A rubber hose runs from each PVC T to a flow meter and then to the cat 323 pump. I assume the pump must being pulling prime to mix the diluted soap into the line.

All you need is what Randy told you, a small tank and a Hydrominder.
