Setting Ratios

If the ratio varies and must be adjusted often, it is probably the result of a restricted syrup
system. It is then time to clean and sanitize the syrup tubing and cooling coils and check for other
problems such as syrup pumps, etc.
NOTE: Try raising the pressure on the pump before cleaning.
Set the water flow rate first, then adjust the syrup to the desired ratio. This gives the most accurate
valve flow setting possible. Measure the ratio and adjust the syrup flow, if necessary. This will result in
uniform flow, better carbonation retention, and improved drink quality.
When using a ratio cup always take these precautions to ensure accuracy:
• After installing the separator tube, open the valve to fill the syrup tube before starting the ratio test.
• Clean the cup thoroughly between tests so there is no carry–over from one test to the next.
• Fill the cup to approximately 3/4 full and use approximately the same quantity for each test to ensure
accurate settings.
• Take another sample to verify the settings.
NOTE: Valve troubleshooting information is available on page 39.
