When I bought my used Butler, the chemical injection system didn't work. I don't use a lot of high pH pre-sprays, but am considering getting the system for my van. How many of you guys use it often and does it make a big difference? Worth spending $1,200 or not?

Thx!

1200.00 is alot! You should be able to get everything necessary for well under 600.00 and maybe an extra 100 to go all stainless. You can get a great General Pump pulse pump for under 300.00. Youll need a check valve for soulition out i love epic 3/8 check valve about 90.00. Youll need 2-⅛" valves DONT SKIMP HERE! buy swagelok youll need 1-needle & 1-3way. About 150-200.00 for both a few assorted fittings (i strongly recommend stainless) a couple of small stainless braided teflon hoses anda couple hours install. You will have to drill and tap a valve cap on your pressure pump to install a pulse pump

Ive been rinsing with just soft water for years. What I noticed is that when I go back the next time the carpet is cleaner and cleans better without using a rinse. I know, that goes against everything youve been told, but just what I see.

Im a soft water user also and after replacing my injection system a couple times on my butler I learned it works as a siphon system when its broken. Sometimes it empties the 2 gallon jug in just a few jobs that way.
I only use odorcide in it though.

All fiber rinse caused mold in my injection system. Its why I switched to odorcide. I figured if my rinse system could mold im spreading that to whatever im cleaning.
Im pretty confident that my rinse water is safe for the families I clean for.

Ive done both for extended periods of time


an 4.5 All Fiber Rinse is the winner.
Do you use an injection system or post apply? And what % of jobs would you say you use a rinse on? Trying to determine if it's worth spending the $ to add to my butler or just grab a few gallons and post apply as needed. Thx!
