Welcome back to the channel! In today’s post, we’ll be installing the Smart Stream Remote Downstream Injector, a product straight from Southeast Softwash. I’ve got one of these incredible devices, and we’re going to install it on my buddy Ben Wilson’s rig. Ben has been using similar systems but recently made the switch to Smart Stream due to its extended range, audible feedback, and overall functionality. Let’s dive into the installation and see why this might be the game-changer your pressure washing business needs.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Mounting the Smart Stream
Find a stable spot on your rig to mount the Smart Stream, such as wood or aluminum. Once mounted securely, it’s time to connect the key components.
Step 2: Connecting to the Downstream Injector
The middle line on the Smart Stream connects directly to your downstream injector system. Make sure this connection is firm, as it is crucial for the system’s functionality.
Step 3: Hooking Up Your Power
After you’ve connected everything, hook up the power. The voltage meter will show your battery status, ensuring everything’s ready to go. Make sure you’ve got a steady voltage to avoid any interruptions.
Step 4: Connecting the Bleach Line
This step involves attaching the bleach line from the Smart Stream to your bleach tank. You’ll need a drop stick, usually a quarter-inch barb, to ensure a smooth connection between the two.
Step 5: Connecting the Water Line
Lastly, attach your water line to the system. The water’s primary function is to extend the life of your injector by continuously flushing the system, helping your equipment last longer.
Why Choose the Smart Stream?
The Smart Stream stands out for a few key reasons, especially for professionals looking for reliability and efficiency in their pressure washing setups.
Extended Range & Connectivity
One of the standout features of the Smart Stream is its incredible range. While most users won’t need to control their rig from 1.7 miles away, the benefit lies in the signal strength. Whether you're working on apartment complexes or properties with significant obstacles, the range ensures connectivity remains strong even when your rig is parked in inconvenient locations.
Audible Feedback
A unique feature of the Smart Stream is its audible feedback, which eliminates the need to visually check for indicators. Whether your chemical is on or off, the audible alert keeps you informed, saving you time and reducing the need to walk back and forth to the truck.
Real-World Testing: How the Smart Stream Performs
To put the Smart Stream to the test, we parked the rig in a Nashville parking lot, a city known for its hilly terrain. With the remote in hand, we drove away, testing the range. We lost signal around 1.7 miles, but in a less obstructed area, it could potentially reach even further.
While you may not need that much range daily, it’s the added connectivity that makes the difference. When working on large complexes or parking garages, the Smart Stream pierces through obstacles, giving you reliable performance.
Conclusion: Is the Smart Stream Right for You?
If you’re tired of walking back and forth to your rig or dealing with weak signals when cleaning large properties, the Smart Stream is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Whether you’re working on a small residential job or a massive commercial project, this tool will enhance your efficiency, allowing you to focus on the task at hand.
