Solution mix issue

Ryan,

sounds like a not so fresh SH or maybe a surfactant issue. What are you using for a surfactant?

are you using any kind of accelerator, like pixie dust?

I'm only adding Green Wash and it's only a month.

Ryan try circulating before you spray. the SH is heavier than the water in the tank and if you have a bottom draw you are taking all the sh first. You can circulate and spray at the same time. Are you using a SWS system or something else?

Matt = BINGO!

I am using SWS equipment. I tried circulating it a couple times. How much time should I give the mix to circulate to ensure it's going to stay mixed?

Matt Nailed it, We had this happen to one of our team, Mix for 5 to 10min while your doing other stuff.

After we mix a fresh tank, we always stick the wand in the tank and let it circulate for five minutes also. That will completely ensure that it is mixed fully.
