Well i see both sides of this as well. I own an actual Manifold and i have made my own mixing manifold. Unfortunately tim dosent have the patent rights on the gp metering valves. So anyone can use them and configure them for their system without legal worries. As long as they arent calling them Mainifolds then their fine.
Now with that said Tim's Manifold is the bomb. It looks good and functions just right everytime. I most likely will be buying another one becuase like ray said i just dont have time to tinker around.
Good point Mike, Plus nobody here is selling the devise so we aren't braking any patent rules

I wasn't complaining Arty. Just thought it was a good thread and no need for it to go away. Like Mike said there's no patent on any valves and I think Tim would agree that he would rather see someone build there own then batch mix.
You know I've built my own as many others have. I totally see the value in Tim's box and they make me money. I now have four and hope to buy two more by years end.
The problems I had have been resolved or I at least know what the issues are and how to avoid them.

Here's the one I built, Works fine and I enjoyed building it over the winter. I went with $20 discontinued valves on Ebay and marked the body with different colors to dial it in. I keep it in a 5' tool box with my Pumps, battery and soaps and a bunch of other daily Chit that I need during the day
Bleach left 3/4 valve, Soap Middle 1/2" valve 1/4" hose, Water on right 3/4" valve. I top feed on tanks. Prime each valve one at a time. Bought valves on Ebay $30 each. George Fisher. Schedule 80 PVC works fine! Check Valves are 3/4" Gray Check valves from US plastic. They work really well for me
