An apparatus for mixing an additive into a fluid to form a settable
mixture includes a main fluid passageway having an inlet for receiving a
supply of the fluid and an outlet for dispensing the fluid, the
passageway having a longitudinal axis. The apparatus includes a control
valve defining a portion of the main fluid passageway and configured for
selectively controlling the flow of fluid in the passageway, an additive
injector disposed in the passageway and having an emitter disposed in
close relationship with the axis and oriented toward the outlet. A static
mixer is disposed between the injector and the outlet for enhancing the
uniform mixing of the additive and the fluid. Connection points between
the inlet, the valve and the static mixer are configured for smooth
transition of fluid and the prevention of at least one of the collection
and premature setting of the mixture.
