Foam Marker
Foam Solution
The performance of the the foam marker
will depend greatly on using a high
quality foam concentrate and good water
quality.
Selecting a Concentrate
Always use high quality foam concentrate.
We recommend Croplands brand White
or Pink Foam for all general purpose
marking.
Be aware that a lot of poor quality
foam concentrate is sold every year
to unsuspecting customers. Some
concentrates may work well in some
circumstances and not others, so be
careful.

Marker
Mixing the Solution
The bottom-fi ll facility of the Pinto allows
concentrate to be added while fi lling.
Always add concentrate to water and not
water to concentrate when top-fi lling.
When topping-up a tank of mix with a water
hose, place the end of the hose under the
surface so as not to agitate the solution
causing the tank to fi ll up with foam. Always
follow label directions.

Water Conditioner
Croplands also offer a water conditioner if
your water has a high mineral content.
If the foam appears watery, it may need
more concentrate or a water conditioner.
With some experimentation, you will easily
fi nd the right mix.
Place a known volume of water in foamer
tank. Measure out the required amount
of foam concentrate and op tion al water
softener and add to the tank.
It may be necessary to stir the tank to get
the solution mixed. Normally the solution
will be adequately mixed after transport
to the fi eld.
