fitting located near high pressure hose
connection of pump as shown.
2. Place the other end of chemical hose
with filter on it into the container holding
chemical/cleaning solution.
NOTE: For every 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of water pumped 1 gallon
(3.8 liters) of chemical/cleaning solution will be used.
