0 falcaineer Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Doesn't matter. You're going to shake them all well anyway to ensure a good mix. Hopefully you've seen this thread, but if not... Editguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SVillalon Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 in the job site whether it be harsh/dangerous chemicals we have water in the container first then we add the chemical. it may not matter to you or it's something small, but it's good practice. less chemical spill should something go wrong.

0 rrmccabe Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I always add water first because if its a foaming product you will be fighting foam as you add water from a hose. Pouring chemical into water usually does not do that. Editguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouring chemical into water usually does not do that. I never use a hose to directly add water for diluting chemicals. Unless your hose is filtered, it will introduce contaminates that can be avoided by either letting the water sit in a jug and only pouring off the top or by using filtered water from inside the house. City water will have chlorine or other additives and well water has its own set of characteristics, in my case I have a high lime content. You can also get filters for a funnel, but I only used them a couple of times and they didn't seem to be too effective. Editguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheWolf Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Best practice is to use distilled water. At less than a buck for a gallon, its not much additional cost to make sure your dilutions work the best, and keep on the shelf without going bad.

0 rrmccabe Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Yea I know you are supposed to use distilled water but I have found no value in doing that for things like APC. I suppose other peoples water is different with iron content ect., but I personally don't think it matters in my situation. Your mileage may vary.

Does the iron content of the water matter if diluting Iron Remover? Either way, where does it go in the bottle when it is "removed"??!! ? ?

0 rrmccabe Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thats deep Chris That is a product I have never diluted. For me its APC, VRT and rinseless wash. I guess I do dilute leather and interior cleaner on occasion. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we are discussing using chemical properties then it would precipitate to a dissolved state most likely, ergo it would not be removed from the bottle, but removed as far as a suspended particle and have become a dissolved particle so really the iron is only "removed" as you will from the product you spray the product onto and not removed from the world.
