Automatic Soap Dispenser Adjustments

I decided to swap out the liquid soap in my automatic dispenser for Castille soap. This type is better for the environment than the colored soap I used in the rainbow soap dispenser, or the regular liquid hand soap in the previous version of the automatic foaming soap dispenser. I like the various scents available. I have peppermint now, I want to try eucalyptus next, and there are many others such as lavender, citrus, tea tree, rose, and almond.  Here is an Amazon Affiliate link to the exact one I bought: https://amzn.to/3LdH261


A change I made to accommodate this soap was adding a check valve so that the soap wouldn't drain back down the hose. This soap seems to behave differently than the old stuff. It slips back through the mix pump, but I'm not sure why. This reminds me of how some containers in my lunch box used to leak. The olives would leak every day, but nothing else did. I wonder if it had something to do with the olive oil?

I switched out the old bottle for a different one after experimenting to find out whether mixing the new soap with the old was a bad idea. I also added a switch to be able to turn off the automatic dispensing.
