Powering Your SoftWash Rinse DC Plus Module

Proper Battery Choice

The SoftWash Systems recommended battery choice is: Group 24 or Group

31 Marine Grade Deep Cycle DC Batteries

Only deep cycle marine batteries can be used. Do not use marine / start or starting

batteries. Marine deep cycle batteries can be found at any RV or Boat supply or even

discount stores like Walmart or Sam’s Club, etc.

The general rule of thumb is 1 battery = 1 hour of “Spray time” (when the pump is

running) We usually install 4 batteries with a Stealth AC/DC Charging System and it

lasts all day without a problem.

Battery Mounting Options

Make sure you mount your battery in either a battery tray or within the battery cut

out slot on the Lower Skid Unit; and is shielded from weather and other mechanical

operations.

Charging and Care of Your Batteries

Deep cycle marine batteries require daily charging. Make sure to visit your battery

manufacturer’s web site for care and maintenance guidelines. Poorly charged bat-

teries will cause issues with the performance of the module.

General System Operation & Processes

Filling 50 or 100-Gallon Water Buffer Tank

On the face of the SoftWash Systems Blend Module (2D or 3D), connect a garden

hose to the Water-In port with a Banjo cam-lock quick connect on the end of your

garden hose.

Spraying Procedure

1. Open the 6” ball valve wand at the end of the rinse hose.

2. Turn the power switch to the “2” position to power the rinse pump ON. (“1”

powers the small hand shower pump located in the bottom of the tank, “1 & 2”

powers both the hand shower and rinse pump).

3. When done using the Rinse DC Plus Module, turn the power switch to off and

release any pressure in the hose by opening the rinse wand.

Note: Never open the wand partially. Always have it turned completely on or completely off. If

ignored this will damage components greatly shortening the life of the pump.

Pump Operating Pressure

The pump should operate at a pressure of around 90 PSI based upon tip 0070 se-

lection. When set correctly, the pump should automatically shut off at 135-140 PSI.

Plant Wash Operation

When rinsing the DC Plus pump runs in an “On demand style”, allowing the pump to

run while Rinse wand is open and automatically turning off when the wand is closed.

1. On the front of the Rinse DC Plus Module, turn the metering valve dial to the

desired amount of Plant Wash you wish to add to the water in your rinse hose.

(use the color scale on the front panel to determine streight of Plant Wash you

are using)

2. Set the Power Switch to “2” to turn on the pump.

3. Open the rinse wand.

Note: It will take a couple minutes before the Plant Wash begins to spray out the end of the

hose due to travel time through the 300 feet of hose. Plant Wash color may be evident in the

hose, but may not be in the stream right away.

End of Day Procedure

1. Make sure to run clean water all the way through the system and ﬂush out any

remaining Plant Wash in the hose.

2. Turn off the power switch on the front of the Rinse Module.

3. Open the rinse wand to release pressure in the hose. Do not roll up the rinse

hose with pressure still in the line, this may cause the hose to burst!

4. While rolling up the hose, use a rag with armor all (or a similar product) to clean

and protect the hose to help it last longer.

Troubleshooting Options

Loss of Power to System Pump

Breaker Switch

Under the house reel mounting area, there is a breaker switch for the Rinse DC

Plus Module. Make sure the yellow plunger is pushed in or the system will not

turn on.

Low Batteries

Located on the front of the Rinse DC Plus Module is a volt meter for monitoring

the levels of the batteries on your system. If your batteries are below 12.0 volts,

they need to be charged. System will not work, or will struggle if below correct

voltage.

Electrolyte Level

Your 12-volt batteries may be low on distilled water. Check ﬂuid level inside the

battery and be careful to not overﬁll. While the battery is charging, the ﬂuid level

inside will slightly rise and if the batteries are overﬁlled, they will leak battery

acid. Lead cells should be slightly covered under caps.

Pressure Switch

The pressure switch not being set correctly could cause the pump to not turn

on at the desired PSI. Adjust your pressure switch so that the pump shuts off

at 135-140 PSI.

System Pump is Struggling to Make Pressure

Water Storage Tank is Low

Your water tank may be out of water. Fill your water storage tank. (See Filling

Water 50 or 100-Gallon Storage Tank.)

Plant Wash Tank is Low, or Valve is Open

Check the level of Plant Wash in your Plant Wash saddle tank. If empty reﬁll by

adding two scoops of Plant Wash and ﬁlling the rest of the way up with water.

Air Leak

There are only a few points at which air can leak into the system. Check ﬂuid

levels on both the water storage tank and the Plant Wash saddle tank. Then

make sure all hose clamps in the system are tightened.

Pressure Switch

The pressure switch not being set correctly could cause the pump to not turn

on at the desired PSI. Adjust your pressure switch so that the pump shuts off

between 135-140 PSI.

System Pump is Overheating

Our 12-volt pump has a thermal protection circuit. In the event the pump motor gets

too hot the pump will shut itself off for a period of about ﬁve minutes or until the

pump cools. If the pump and valve housing is exposed to direct sunlight try covering

the pump and valve housing with a towel or even shade it with an umbrella. Always

try to park the truck in the shade.

If the pump is repeatedly overheating, you may trip the 100 AMP Breaker.
