Carpet cleaning nerd

[Mikey P]

I’m in-shape, pushing a 2 inch wand with the glide is a piece of cake.

For now...

 

[Cleanworks]

For now...

As long as he doesnt use it as a stair tool.

 

[Mikey P]

He's a millennial carpet cleaner I guarantee you he's never used the real wand without a glide such as the Pro Kim Titanium which will do permanent shoulder damage in about 6 months of regular use especially if you're Coit chimp

I’m actually in my 40s, I’ve just taken care of myself. But you’re probably right, or year from now I’ll probably be buying that sapphire or the smaller Devastator again.

How long has it been since I’ve called you an idiot?

The 8ft whip hose is a gawdsend.

 

[Mikey P]

Don't **** up your body so that your customers carpets dry 8 minutes faster..

have you ever tried that tapered hose?

 

[Mikey P]

have you ever tried that tapered hose?

Yes

it's wonderful up untill the point it collapses and keeps kinking over and over in the same spot

 

[Meter Maid]

Whip hoses.

When I had the 12” Devastator, there was a huge difference with/without the whip. You could hear the difference.

 

[Meter Maid]

Few days or so.

Yeah, a 4 minute dry time difference...

It’s more about being able to use higher flow, I just get better results with 8 to 10 flow and I can’t pull it off with an inch and a half wand.

 

[Mikey P]

You're talking to the guy that used to run 12 flow off of a Vortex.

The two times I went to a 1.5 inch wand, I got poor results. There are plenty of people who will not move away from a 2 inch wand, they can’t all be wrong.

Chris have you yet to meet any carpet cleaners in person?

Yes

I'm thinking for my moderate heat machines, it might not be so bad. I have a single wall black 2 inch hose that I use as a whip for my 2 inch tools. Hasn't collapsed yet. I'm running 190-210F at the trucks.

 

[Meter Maid]

Chris have you yet to meet any carpet cleaners in person?

Not really.

 

[Meter Maid]

But I’ve met an asshole...

 

[Mikey P]

Haven't we all..

 

[hogjowl]

He’s actually correct. There is a slight difference in 6 flow cleaning vs 8 flow.
But not enough for me to wrestle the anaconda.

 

[Cleanworks]

But he's only got a Boxer 318 I believe. Can you really run a 8 flow on that and have any heat?

 

[Mikey P]

No

 

[Meter Maid]

No

Wrong. I run at full blast and get a pretty consistent 180 to 190 at the wand even with my 10 flow Bentley.

For some reason, I get better heat at higher flow than with my six flow Evolution.

 

[hogjowl]

Boxer 318 ... I don’t know why we’re even talking to you.

 

[Meter Maid]

With the six flow evolution, I had to crank up the psi to get decent heat and that wasn’t good.

At eight or 10 flow, I run around 400 psi and get plenty of heat for that kind of flu.

Because I’m a likable idiot

Your trying to make that machine doing things it's not capable of. For one, you don't have enough vacuum to properly dry the carpets using that kind of flow. You will max out at 6 flow. If you're having problems with wicking, you are leaving the carpets too wet.

No wicking issues until I started using a 1.5 inch wand.

That’s precisely why I went back to a 2 inch wand.

36 blower produces about 50 CFM less than 45 blower running at the same rpm. If I’m running 2 inch hose all the way to a 2 inch wand, versus the 45 blower guy running a 1.5 inch wand and a whip, which machine do you think is performing better?

The two blower produce identical lift.

 

[Hack Attack]

friend of mine 20+ years in the industry, used to run 8? vans

Now running solo with boxxer 423, picked up a 318 with 200hrs on the clock cause it was cheap. Reckons he cant tell any difference between the 2 models on every day cleaning
