Gee if I want to use a acid rinse all I do is add a cup of vinegar to my jug.
Rub some icy hot under your nose, problem solved.That is the only thing I don't like about it. I love the product itself and prefer powdered form, but even after adding deodorizer to it, I can still smell it. I would love to find a way to overcome that because it is a great product without a doubt.
Exactly, that's why I'm going back to the fabset for my light to mild soil jobs, and only using the flex ice on the heavy soiled. Women are driven by smell, and if it stinks that's what she'll remember about me.why go though all that?? stick with a product that works and smells great until interlink get their act together and produce a great product that smells great also
Lol! Don't take my sole word on it! I really like to use it in restaurants where the smell will be gone by morning anyway. And in empty houses as well.Well, ok then. If Kellie says it stinks, then it must offend some people.
On to another product.
light soil - fab set
medium soil - clean free
heavy soil - flex ice
holy shit - white lighting
Not crew friendly.
Don't complicate things beyond what's absolutely necessary. Your guys may be able to read, but they can't be very smart.
They're working for you, after all.
agreed. I'm a pretty big fan of it so far. until something better comes out ill be using it.hardly objectionable imo.
Its a general pump, and the water is heated after with a hx. Then the water returns back into the freshtank and gets hotter as the water runs low. So yes the water does get hot. I will only be running the ice if it is advised.This is a question for Scott Warrington regarding regard how Flex Ice might affect your pump.
It might help him to know what kind of pump you use on your machine; some pumps shouldn't pump anything but water. The manufacturer of your machine should be able to provide you with that information.
Does your machine heat the water before the pump or after? Heat causes some chemical formulations to behave differently then when they are cold.
Will Flex Ice be the only thing you use through your system? Cross contamination between products can create unpredictable events in your equipment. If you intend to use different products for different cleaning jobs, its important to thoroughly rinse out your tank before switching to the next product.
Given that information, Scott will be able to answer your question.
Thankyou Jim. Ive never tested it but i guess its not to hard compared to other states.You might want to contact Scott or Tom Forsythe at Aramsco/Bridgepoint. I'm not certain how often they monitor MB.
I have some concern regarding the return of water back to your fresh water tank. This means you are introducing heated chemical into your pump at times, and if you are refilling your tank before its empty, you are increasing the actual concentration of the product as you go.
It might not be a problem at all with Flex Ice. We sell it, and based on my knowledge of the product, I don't have concerns, but since your application is somewhat different, it bears asking the question.
How hard is your water? Parts of PA have very hard water, and that comes into play as well.
Im assuming most chemical injection systems run chem through the pump, but then you can easily rinse it out via the 5 gallon jug. In my case, i cant do that.
Thanks Jim and Scott, you guys are really helpfull.Jim raised some good points to consider. I won't go voer the same things again, but will try to add a little.
Flex Ice is not usually a problem for the pump or the plumbing, but when using hard water or very high heat it can combine with minerals in the water and lead to scale build-up requiring more frequent de-scaling. The harder the water and the higher the heat, the mor elikely this is to occur.
If you have moderate to soft water, anything less than 7 grains, you should be fine. If your water is in the 7 -10 grain range, plan on descaling more often. If your water is above 11 grains, Flex Cie may not be the best choice for you.
While on this topic, let me make a point about water softness, something often overlooked by cleaners. Of all the things a cleaner may consider doing to get better results - more vacuum, more water pressure, more heat and all the ways they seek to reach those goals - the best thing most cleaners around the country can do to improve the cleaning results is to use soft water. A simple solution. Put a water softener in your van = better cleaning.
