    I will follow Aquamix manufacturers advice on calculating what strength to use, I’ll also follow your suggestion to check how much I use to fully water … together provides best approach. I’ll only do this once though just so I have a guide.

    Update ... Aquamix support now responded - thought I'd post it here for help for anyone else.... With the Aquamix setting to 1%, it draws 10ml of concentrate into 1 litre of water. To ultimately have 1g of dissolved granules in 1 litre of water, the 10ml drawn in must contain 1g of granules...

    Just checked .. flow rate is 8.8L/min, but to be honest It's not that critical, as long as 'mix strength is right' I'll simply water it in. So In practice though that is what happens you water until all soaked, without ponding. Agree if a I used watering cans it would be a know volume of mix...

    I have a constant ratio applicator that I can set to 0.2% / 0.5% / 1.0% / 2.0% It's how much I mix with water to create the solution to use with applicator that is making my head hurt The instructions are : Application Rates: Liquid Feed Application: Used in the same way as other water-soluble...

    Any mathematicians here ? Thinking of using a High Phosphours feed for my lawn. I want to apply from constant ratio applicator (Aquamix) which I can set to 0.2% / 0.5% / 1.0% / 2.0% ... that is the % of liquid feed to water. The feed is in soluble granules, so I would need to pre-mix with...

    Over-Painting steel tubing

    This is under a year old …. I bought it after ‘rave reviews’ …it’s solid construction but poor finish. Can’t afford to lay out on replacement, hence wanting to ‘touch up the paint’. The top section slides into lower section with little clearance, plus it rotates. So no option to use a thick...

    Over-Painting steel tubing

    It's annoying that product is less than a year old, and is intended for outdoor use and the paint finish not up to it. As it's only failed in places I don't want to strip the whole lot back to back metal.

    Removing all the paint is not an option, far too much work to do that.

    Over-Painting steel tubing

    I don’t think it’s zinc coated, due to rust in places. It is outdoors and it is black, appreciate your comment, but don’t want to change the colour. Will ‘Ferrous preservative primer’ work on top of paint. ? I’d agree that SS in 316 grade be much better, but could not find one in SS. Agree...

    Enclosure recommendation .

    exactly why I trying to choose the right box to use. Pregnant plug type USB & similar PSUs are in effect in sealed boxes, they rely on the surface of the plastic itself dissipating the heat. Alternative thought would be a small 2 way breaker box ... something like an unpopulated one of these...
