INTRODUCTION
The SOLSTA PDC Dispenser is a dilution control system engineered to be portable and versatile. The SOLSTA PDC
is designed to be an integrated bottle-fill or bucket-fill dispenser. Its portable design allows the user to use it in
virtually any environment as long as there is a water source with a spigot and garden hose connection.
BASIC DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Waxie SOLSTA PDC (Portable Dilution Control) is a reliable low cost portable proportioning/dilution system that
attaches to the Waxie-Green Solution Station 3-Liter bottles of superconcentrates. The dispenser is connected and
engaged to the bottleneck of the container through an integrated coupling system that is locked together by a simple
twist of a 38mm locking nut. The SOLSTA Dispenser will dispense cleaners and sanitizers at the proper dilution rate
when the trigger is pressed and will stop when the trigger is released. For continuous flow, the trigger can be locked
into place by moving a sliding lock forward which then engages the trigger. Drawing the lock backward releases the
trigger and shuts off the dispenser.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• The SOLSTA PDC is supplied without a backflow prevention unit. To prevent possible chemical backup into the
water supply, comply with all local plumbing codes and install an appropriate backflow prevention unit.
• Ensure that a pressure regulator with a preset value of 40-50 PSI is inline for optimum performance and safety.
• Do not leave the dispenser unattended with trigger in locked position.
• Turn off water supply after use and disconnect.

DISPENSER SET UP
(1) Set up hose and accessories as required to the spigot at the water source.
(2) Next, attach the male hose end to the female garden hose coupling end of the Dispenser. Make sure that the
coupling and the hose end are securely fastened.
(3) Turn Dispenser selector to one of the three flow positions. Make sure that the selector is positioned completely
to the bottle (1 GPM) position, the bucket (4 GPM) position, or water only position.
(4) Slowly turn water supply on. Check and correct connections if water leaks occur.
(5) While holding the handle of the dispenser, press the trigger and check for water flow out of the dispenser nozzle.
(6) If water flows, the dispenser is ready to use.
DISPENSER OPERATION
(1) Select required liquid container for use.
(2) Hold dispenser with nozzle end forward.
(3) Next, orient the liquid container with the bottle handle toward the rear side of the dispenser. (Note: Rear side of
the dispenser is the hose attachment side.)
(4) Next, press dispenser down over the container until bottleneck and dispenser locking nut engages.
(5) While pressing lightly, turn locking nut clockwise approximately 1.5 turns or until lock nut is snug. There is no
need to over tighten the locking nut.
(6) For chemical dispensing, select either the bottle (1 GPM) position or the bucket (4 GPM) position. Make sure the
selector is set to the extreme end of movement at either dispensing positions.
• Bottle dispensing
• Set selector to bottle filling position
• Insert nozzle hose of dispenser into the neck of the bottle to be filled. Make sure that the lip of
the bottleneck is never sealed so air could escape out of bottle during filling.
• Press trigger to dispense and fill bottle.

• Bucket dispensing
• Set selector to bucket filling position
• Place dispenser on the side of bucket using the hook to hang the dispenser. Orient dispenser
