Hey everyone, it's Saturday morning, March 4th, and we're up at the shop to test out something really exciting! After much anticipation, our huge delivery of Batch Buster metering valves has finally arrived. While we've had a small batch of these valves before, this new delivery is the real deal, and we now have plenty in stock! If you're looking to grab one, they’re available on the website.
In this post, I’ll walk you through why the Batch Buster metering valve is a game-changer for the soft washing industry, how it compares to other valves, and why it's an upgrade you’ll want to consider.
Why the Batch Buster is Different
The Batch Buster metering valve is custom-made specifically for the soft wash industry, unlike the generic valves we've had to make do with in the past. For a long time, the industry had to use what it could find, and those valves were often an afterthought, not designed with soft washing in mind. But now, we finally have a valve that’s built specifically for this purpose.
We’re going to compare the Batch Buster to some commonly used valves: the Chem Line and the GF. The Chem Line is a one-inch valve, while the GF is a half-inch valve. I’ll show you why the Batch Buster stands out in terms of flow rate and performance.
The Test Setup
We’ve set up a controlled test with a 16-gallon tank full of water. To ensure consistency, we’ll be using the same bulkhead fitting for each valve, and we’ll time how long it takes for each valve to fill a one-gallon jug. First up is the GF half-inch valve, followed by the Chem Line one-inch valve, and finally, the Batch Buster one-inch valve.
Results of the Experiment
-
GF Valve (Half-Inch)
We started by filling the one-gallon jug using the GF valve, and it took about 55 seconds to fill. The half-inch setup restricted the flow, so it was slower than the larger valves. It’s a good valve, but not ideal for high-flow soft washing.
-
Chem Line Valve (One-Inch)
Next, we tested the one-inch Chem Line valve. Unsurprisingly, this valve filled the jug faster, taking about 35 seconds. Going from a half-inch to a one-inch valve made a significant difference in flow rate. However, it's not a groundbreaking innovation; it’s just the natural result of using a larger valve body.
-
Batch Buster Valve (One-Inch)
Finally, we tested the Batch Buster, and the results were impressive. The Batch Buster filled the jug in just 19 seconds. That’s a massive difference compared to the other valves, and it shows just how much more efficient this custom-made valve is. Its high flow rate and modular design make it the perfect choice for soft washing.
Why the Batch Buster is the Best Choice
The Batch Buster metering valve offers incredible flow rates and is modular, meaning it can grow with your business. Whether you start with a smaller system using a five or seven-gallon-per-minute pump or upgrade to a larger, gas-powered system, the Batch Buster can handle it all. This flexibility makes it a wise investment for anyone in the soft wash industry.
Unlike the Chem Line and GF, which weren’t designed for soft washing, the Batch Buster is tailored specifically for this purpose, offering both superior performance and versatility.
Conclusion
In our shop test, the Batch Buster outperformed both the Chem Line and GF valves by a significant margin. With its high flow rate, modularity, and precision, it’s clear that the Batch Buster is a winner for the soft wash industry. If you want a valve that delivers more, lasts longer, and works with your growing business, the Batch Buster is the way to go.
Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you in the next video!
