The only difference between the red kit and blue kit is the color of the hose!
Do not use Teflon tape on this pump. No warranty on this pump. 8 gauge wire must be used. No alligator clips used with this pump. Use a minimum 875 CCA deep cycle marine battery.
Rex, our Pump Guru, invented the design of our PVC slotted chemical tank filter.
The filter is composed entirely of PVC and will not rust or decompose or shatter into small pieces after constant submersion into a pressure washer's chemical tank or roof wash mix. The filter made be assembled to fit exactly into the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket, various drum sizes and tanks. It is assembled using PVC cleaner, a deburred, and clear PVC cement.
To prevent the filter from rising to the top of the tank
A length of PVC pipe can be used as a sleeve to slip over the connecting suction hose. The inner diameter of the PVC pipe should be slightly wider than the outside diameter of the suction hose. You may use a clean piece of 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" ID PVC scrap pipe to slip over the hose before it is connected to the 12 Volt pump.
To figure out how long to cut the pipe
Place the suction hose assembly with the uncut PVC pipe sleeve into your main chemical tank or drum and allow the filter to rest horizontally on the bottom. Mark and cut the sleeve so that it is just a bit higher than the opening of the tank.
Use a heat gun to 'bell' the top end of the sleeve and a grinder or drum sander to soften the edges of the sleeve. If a tank filter (TF-C) is assembled to the width of a 5 gallon bucket.
The user can remove the filter from the larger tank and place it in a bucket of degreaser to apply to a driveway or drive through, apply a diluted mix to a house or building wash or allow the operator to run 5 gallons of fresh water through the system to rinse all of the fittings and components of the soft wash chemical application system.
Semi-permanent fittings on the low-pressure side of a system attaching PVC to PVC should be assembled using non-drying liquid Teflon or 'pipe dope'. Teflon tape should never be used.
