Rinse DC Plus Introduction
Where Can I Find Help?
This owner’s manual is your first source for support and direction on your new Soft-
Wash Systems Rinse DC Plus Module. In this owner’s manual you will find step by
step directions for basic operations. Other sources for finding and getting support
are:
1. The Facebook “SoftWash Systems In-Network Companies” group.
Please note you need to be Certified to join this online group. You can post ques-
tions to the group about your equipment whether it’s about a malfunction or to
learn about its potentials from others in the network. You will get much quicker
answers to your questions posting on this Facebook page than anywhere else.
2. Call Technical Support at 855.763.8669 and select the extension for Technical
Support when prompted. Do this after reviewing the manual and checking for
solutions in the troubleshooting section.
Powering Your SoftWash Rinse DC Plus Module
Proper Battery Choice
The SoftWash Systems recommended battery choice is: Group 24 or Group
31 Marine Grade Deep Cycle DC Batteries
Only deep cycle marine batteries can be used. Do not use marine / start or starting
batteries. Marine deep cycle batteries can be found at any RV or Boat supply or even
discount stores like Walmart or Sam’s Club, etc.
The general rule of thumb is 1 battery = 1 hour of “Spray time” (when the pump is
running) We usually install 4 batteries with a Stealth AC/DC Charging System and it
lasts all day without a problem.
Battery Mounting Options
Make sure you mount your battery in either a battery tray or within the battery cut
out slot on the Lower Skid Unit; and is shielded from weather and other mechanical
operations.
Charging and Care of Your Batteries
Deep cycle marine batteries require daily charging. Make sure to visit your battery
manufacturer’s web site for care and maintenance guidelines. Poorly charged bat-
teries will cause issues with the performance of the module.

General System Operation & Processes
Filling 50 or 100-Gallon Water Buffer Tank
On the face of the SoftWash Systems Blend Module (2D or 3D), connect a garden
hose to the Water-In port with a Banjo cam-lock quick connect on the end of your
garden hose.
Spraying Procedure
1. Open the 6” ball valve wand at the end of the rinse hose.
2. Turn the power switch to the “2” position to power the rinse pump ON. (“1”
powers the small hand shower pump located in the bottom of the tank, “1 & 2”
powers both the hand shower and rinse pump).
3. When done using the Rinse DC Plus Module, turn the power switch to off and
release any pressure in the hose by opening the rinse wand.
Note: Never open the wand partially. Always have it turned completely on or completely off. If
ignored this will damage components greatly shortening the life of the pump.
Pump Operating Pressure
The pump should operate at a pressure of around 90 PSI based upon tip 0070 se-
lection. When set correctly, the pump should automatically shut off at 135-140 PSI.
Plant Wash Operation
When rinsing the DC Plus pump runs in an “On demand style”, allowing the pump to
run while Rinse wand is open and automatically turning off when the wand is closed.
1. On the front of the Rinse DC Plus Module, turn the metering valve dial to the
desired amount of Plant Wash you wish to add to the water in your rinse hose.
(use the color scale on the front panel to determine streight of Plant Wash you
are using)
2. Set the Power Switch to “2” to turn on the pump.
3. Open the rinse wand.
Note: It will take a couple minutes before the Plant Wash begins to spray out the end of the
hose due to travel time through the 300 feet of hose. Plant Wash color may be evident in the
hose, but may not be in the stream right away.
End of Day Procedure
1. Make sure to run clean water all the way through the system and flush out any
remaining Plant Wash in the hose.
2. Turn off the power switch on the front of the Rinse Module.

3. Open the rinse wand to release pressure in the hose. Do not roll up the rinse
hose with pressure still in the line, this may cause the hose to burst!
4. While rolling up the hose, use a rag with armor all (or a similar product) to clean
and protect the hose to help it last longer.
Troubleshooting Options
Loss of Power to System Pump
Breaker Switch
Under the house reel mounting area, there is a breaker switch for the Rinse DC
Plus Module. Make sure the yellow plunger is pushed in or the system will not
turn on.
Low Batteries
Located on the front of the Rinse DC Plus Module is a volt meter for monitoring
the levels of the batteries on your system. If your batteries are below 12.0 volts,
they need to be charged. System will not work, or will struggle if below correct
voltage.
Electrolyte Level
Your 12-volt batteries may be low on distilled water. Check fluid level inside the
battery and be careful to not overfill. While the battery is charging, the fluid level
inside will slightly rise and if the batteries are overfilled, they will leak battery
acid. Lead cells should be slightly covered under caps.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch not being set correctly could cause the pump to not turn
on at the desired PSI. Adjust your pressure switch so that the pump shuts off
at 135-140 PSI.
System Pump is Struggling to Make Pressure
Water Storage Tank is Low
Your water tank may be out of water. Fill your water storage tank. (See Filling
Water 50 or 100-Gallon Storage Tank.)
8
Plant Wash Tank is Low, or Valve is Open
Check the level of Plant Wash in your Plant Wash saddle tank. If empty refill by
adding two scoops of Plant Wash and filling the rest of the way up with water.
Air Leak
There are only a few points at which air can leak into the system. Check fluid
levels on both the water storage tank and the Plant Wash saddle tank. Then
make sure all hose clamps in the system are tightened.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch not being set correctly could cause the pump to not turn
on at the desired PSI. Adjust your pressure switch so that the pump shuts off
between 135-140 PSI.
System Pump is Overheating
Our 12-volt pump has a thermal protection circuit. In the event the pump motor gets
too hot the pump will shut itself off for a period of about five minutes or until the
pump cools. If the pump and valve housing is exposed to direct sunlight try covering
the pump and valve housing with a towel or even shade it with an umbrella. Always
try to park the truck in the shade.
If the pump is repeatedly overheating, you may trip the 100 AMP Breaker.
