MIXSTIR® CHEMICAL DELIVERY SYSTEM
Operation
GPM Pumping Rate
Determining the GPM of your particular system is a simple process. The following information will be
utilized in determining the rate of chemical use.
Note: Your system should be fully charged before performing this procedure.
The following items are required to perform the procedure.
Large Measuring Container Stop Watch
Protective Gloves Safety Glasses
1) Fill the Measuring Container to a desired level and note how much you are starting out with.
2) Place the pumps draw tube into the Measuring Container.
3) Start the pump (while driving through your system) and stop watch at the same time.
4) Stop the pump, and stop watch, when the Measuring Container has been emptied.
This should be enough information to determine the GPM that the pump can achieve while
operating your system.
Divide the time it took you to empty the Measuring Container by 60 seconds. Take that value
and multiply it by the value that was in the Measuring Container. This is your current GPM.
Use the following formula for the GPM calculation.
(60 sec. / Stop watch time) X Amount Used = GPM
With this information, the amount of chemical used per vehicle is a simple matter.
Time how long the pumping platform is active for each vehicle. With the GPM currently
established, figure how many gallons are being used per vehicle. Use the dilution ratio
previously determined to calculate the amount of chemical dispensed.
