Should be easy enough.

Looking at the bottom of your soda pot, remove the T-piece with black valve and screw the red valve into the bottom of the pot.

I'm guessing the black hose is the blast hose and the pipe going into the end of the mixer carries air via a ball valve from the main valve on top of the pot.

so just swap the first valve coming out out the pot for the red levered one?

seems handy enough
thanks for the help, much appreciated

Looks like it from the picture you gave in your other thread.

Basically the grit comes out of the bottom through the valve (adjust for mixture) and gets blown through the T-piece into the hose, the valve on the side being fully open.

what about the valve to let air into the pot? im geussing it should also be fully open, right? its much the same as operating the valves for operating with soda? excatly the same

The valve at the top is normally fully open, but I sometimes regulate the airflow with it if I'm doing something delicate.
