Low pressure float valve from Hydro Systems gets an upgrade
Engineering360 News Desk | July 05, 2021Hydro Systems, part of PSG and Dover and a provider of chemical dispensing equipment, has introduced updates to the low pressure float valve of its HydroMinder dispensers for car wash applications. The expanded HydroMinder product offering provides dilution capability down to 2500:1, which allows for the use of increasingly popular ultra concentrates.
The new HydroMinder dispensers can be used with car wash chemicals, ranging from low to high pH and can also be used in different applications such as sealers, protectants, drying agents, detergents, conditioners, among others. By offering ultra-lean dilution (ULD) technology, these dispensers reduce the potential for clogged tips that can hinder productivity.

"Improving upon HydroMinder's float valve technology enables us to meet leaner dilutions compared to other dispensers on the market today," said Scott Campbell, global product manager, Hydro Systems. "With more consistent dilution performance, we're helping car wash operators achieve better results as they continue to adopt super concentrates.
"HydroMinder is a reliable and low-maintenance solution that minimizes downtime," added Campbell. "We know that car wash system manufacturers, distributors, chemical providers and car wash operators will benefit from these latest updates."
The product offering also features AccuPro technology that provides more consistent dilution performance when water pressure fluctuations occur. The equipment uses an E-Gap design, meaning that a separate siphon breaker is not needed for operation.
In addition to supporting low pressure car washing, Hydro Systems also provides reliable dispensing for medium pressure applications with its HydroMinder WDP (water-driven pump).
