3/8" All-Flo Softwash Kit: 300' 5/8" ID Blue Flex Tech RT, Regulator, JROD, Air Hose
This ALL-FLO soft wash system start up kit includes the following:
- 3/8" Kynar body with Santoprene diaphragms 'Top of the Line and Best Air Diaphragm Pump in the World', model C038-SQK-SSKE-S70.
- 200' of 1/2" ID Blue Flex Tech RT hose with 316 stainless steel crimped on hose ends (No hose clamps)
- Polywire suction hose assembly with the original slotted PVC suction filter for sodium hypochlorite and soft wash chemicals
- Special high quality SCH 80 PVC ball valve assembly to withstand daily use of sodium hypochlorite.
- JROD nozzle holder with long range and fan pattern nozzles.
- Special air regulator/filter with set of high quality brass air couplers and plugs (Set this regulator to 80 psi maximum: arrow points to pump. install the desiccant filter (Purchased online Motorguard M45, anywhere) between the regulator and the pump using a hex nipple or another length of air hose).
- 10-12 ft length of high quality, durable air hose assembly with crimped on hose ends (longer and shorter lengths available).
- Two spare stainless steel couplers.
- 3/8" MPT x 1/2" FPT male adapter.
Viton diaphragms are not the best choice because of the following reasons according to All-Flo: Santoprene and other thermal plastic elastomers (TPE) will have a very long flex life due to the nature of the material. This is especially apparent when comparing them to FKM and PTFE diaphragms, which tend to have a low flex life. When selecting a diaphragm, the chemical compatibility and the natural flex life should be considered. In most cases, a “B” rated Santoprene or other TPE will outlast an “A” rated FKM (Viton) or PTFE diaphragm. This is because both the “A” and “B” rated diaphragms will normally fail due to their natural flex life before they experience chemical issues. PTFE should predominantly be used when a TPE is not chemically compatible with the process fluid, and FKM (Viton) is traditionally used for high temperature applications that go above the other materials maximum temperature limits. In short, Santoprene has a high flex life and FKM (Viton) has a very low flex life with flex life being its weakness.
***All fittings should be installed using non-drying liquid Teflon such as Rector Seal T Plus 2 (Can be purchased at any hardware store in the plumbing section) Never use Teflon tape on anything in these related industries.***
We strongly suggest adding a 4318S Titan hose reel, a 2354 street 45 and a matching jump hose to this order. You can order a custom length jump hose by adding the FTB10 by the foot and adding two CSS ends to the cart.
The minimum 5.5 HP gas powered air compressor, PVC SCH 40 1.25" ID pipe sleeve for the suction hose assembly and tank are not included and should be purchased locally to save you money on shipping.

Because the inlet port of the pump is 3/8", the general rule of pump plumbing indicates that the inner diameter of the supply line should be twice the inner diameter of the port and will require a minimum of a 3/4" ID hose. The 3/4" suction hose should not collapse and should remain somewhat rigid but allow flexibility under pulsation.
