What's up, guys? Welcome back to the channel! Today, we’re diving into the installation of the Smart Stream Remote Downstream Injector Box from Southeast Softwash. Cody sent me one of these, and we’re going to install it on my buddy Ben Wilson’s rig. Ben has experience with injector boxes but decided to switch to the Smart Stream for its superior features, including extended range, audible feedback, and overall improved performance. Let’s break it down step by step!
Why Choose the Smart Stream?
If you’re running a pressure washing business, you know how important efficiency is. The Smart Stream Remote Downstream Injector Box enhances workflow by allowing you to control your chemical mix remotely, saving both time and effort. The benefits include:
-
Extended Range – Up to 1.7 miles of connectivity, ensuring smooth operation even in large areas.
-
Audible Feedback – No need to check for indicator lights; the remote confirms your chemical flow status.
-
Continuous Flush System – Extends injector lifespan by keeping it clear of residue.
-
Seamless Remote Operation – Control your chemical flow without walking back to the truck.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Mounting the Smart Stream
Find a stable surface on your rig to mount the Smart Stream. It can be mounted on wood, aluminum, or another solid structure. Ensure it's secured before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Connecting the Lines
You will have three lines to connect:
-
Middle Line → Downstream Injector
-
Left Line → Bleach Tank (Use a quarter-barb drop stick)
-
Right Line → Water Line
Step 3: Wiring the Power Supply
Once mounted, connect your power source. The voltage meter will indicate your battery level, ensuring consistent operation.
Step 4: System Check & Initial Test
Turn on the system and verify that everything is connected properly. The continuous flush feature will help prolong the life of your injector while maintaining optimal flow.
Field Test: Range and Performance
After installing the Smart Stream, we ran a real-world range test. We parked the rig in a lot and tested the remote’s signal strength while driving away.
-
Maximum range: 1.7 miles (even in hilly Nashville terrain).
-
Key takeaway: While you may never need this much range, it ensures strong connectivity in complex job sites like apartment complexes and commercial buildings.
Why Range Matters
Some might wonder, Why do I need 1.7 miles of range? While you likely won’t be working from that far away, the extended range ensures reliable connectivity through obstacles like buildings, walls, and other signals. This is especially useful for:
-
Large apartment complexes
-
Multi-story parking garages
-
Commercial buildings with obstructed access
Instead of manually walking back to your truck to adjust your mix, the Smart Stream allows you to stay focused on cleaning, boosting your efficiency significantly.
