Hydro Systems HydroMaster™ Drum, Pail, or Wall Mount Venturi Proportional Mixers
HydroMaster™ drum or wall-mounted proportioners automatically mix liquid concentrates with water and dispense the diluted solution into any container. Any size container of concentrate can be used with the HydroMaster™ because there’s no need to tip the container to pour the contents. Exposure to the concentrated product is limited only to those times when the proportioner is being moved from one concentrate container to another.
Manual mixing of concentrates with water is time consuming and imprecise — the strength of the diluted solution may be too strong one time and too weak the next. Automatic dilution with the HydroMaster™ takes this variability out of the cleaning system, so the concentrated cleaning product consistently delivers maximum performance. HydroMasters™ use water power, not electricity, so concentrates don’t have to be located near outlets, just within a hose’s reach of a water source.
Venturi type mixers use water passing over an orifice to create suction that draws the concentrate from the container and mixes it with the water. Concentration on the HydroMaster™ is adjusted by changing the orifice size.
These units cannot operate with any back pressure, so they can only be used to fill a pail or nearby container. They cannot be used with any type of sprayer or shut-off valve on the discharge side. Accuracy can be affected by water pressure and concentrate level.

Installation and Operation:
- Select a metering tip and insert it into the suction stub. Slide the open end of the suction tube over the stub.
- Remove either the 3/4 or 2-inch bung from an upright drum.
- Insert the foot valve end of the suction tube into the drum.
- Swivel the drum adapter several turns in the bung opening until the bracket is secure.
- Install minimum 1/2-inch ID water hose between the inlet swivel and water suply spigot. (Minimum 25 PSI flowing water pressure is required to operate the unit.)
- Turn on water supply. To begin dispensing solution, open ball valve at inlet to unit.
Metering Tip Selection:
The final concentration of the dispensed liquid is related to both the size of the metering tip opening (orifice) and the viscosity of the liquid being siphoned. Factors such as inlet water pressure and temperature can also affect dilution ratios. Test the actual dilution you are achieving for best results. Two undrilled, clear tips are suplied for drilling sizes not already included.
