Midwest V4 Installation & Operation Manual

Hydro-Mixer V4 Installation/Operation Manual
Thank you for your purchase of our Hydro-Mixer V4 proportioning blending unit. Below are instructions
on how to setup and install your new Hydro-Mixer. If you ordered an installation kit you should have
all the necessary hoses and hose clamps for a quick and easy install. If you did not order an install kit
it is recommended you use stainless steel hose clamps and non-collapsible reinforced connecting hoses.
In order to have similar draw on both your water and SH valves, it is recommended your connecting hoses
are similar in length so one valve is not favored over the other. Thread sealant like Rectorseal
Tru-Blu is recommended over teflon tape for a proper air tight seal on all threaded connections.
Most threaded connections only require hand tight plus about 1/2 turn.

Pump Connection

-standard outlet location is right side of manifold. Outlet connection is either 1/2" or 3/4" hose barb.
Other connection sizes available upon request. Attach a non-collapsible reinforced suction
hose with hose clamp. Slight heating of hose may be required. Firmly tighten clamp.
Connect opposite end of hose to inlet side of your pump.

Water tank connection

-standard water tank connection is either 1/2" or 3/4" hose barb. Hose barb is located on
the bottom side of the water valve. Attach a non-collapsible reinforced suction hose
with a hose clamp. Slight heating of hose may be required. Firmly tighten clamp.
Connect opposite end to your water tank bulkhead. It is recommended you pull from
the top of your water tank, but not necessary. Water supply should have a filter or strainer
in line before the Hydro-Mixer in order to prevent debris entering the valves.
This can be on the suction between the tank and Hydro-Mixer or on the bottom of your
drop tube inside the tank.
