Hi all,
when pumping my waste water to sewage it is creating quite a bit of foam which comes up at the dog wash wash floor waste. I noticed that my bubble brush foam in the SS bays doesn't break down very fast. So I reduced the chemicals a bit. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I think thats a good thing! Customers come to my wash for soap & water, having visible suds in the bays is good marketing IMO. I'd turn the concentration right back up!

I agree I wouldnt want it coming out of the floor waste/drain though, not sure what to do about that other than run more water to keep it flushed.

Found it!

Thanks for your help. I found it. I accidentally put a wrong colored tip into the touchfree. This ate my chemicals and as side effect made a foam bath out of my sewer tank. :eek:
