Had to switch from beat to blow. This rug was so loaded with dirt it thought the Oklahoma dust bowl was happening.
Rug badger just wasn’t getting it out

clean your wand
Well. That answers that. I can’t see it on my phone.

I would not recommend any one else using that set-up.

I wish there was a tool that efficiently combined compressed air with a vacuum to do that without blowing debris all over your surroundings and lungs.
I don't either. I'd be pissed if I showed up and it was missing from my wall!

....in addition, combining compressed air for wet cleaning tools to increase agitation without increasing water volume.
I've seen it done at my brother's upholstery shop to remove a spot and have it almost instantly dry.

Just have to plumb the compressor through the jets and cut open the back of the wand so that the vacuum draws the dust in.

Really? I disagree. I'd rather beat and blow it out than flush for hours. It speeds things up. I don't air dust all the rugs, but this one was so bad it needed a little extra love.

You're dusting set-up is useless. At those PSI's and CFM you're not being efficient.
That dust you see will come out in the wash....if you know what you're doing.
What PSI and CFM are you pushing?

I don't believe those specs.
Come over and wear a dress
Well it did the trick. Rug is hanging up drying now. Time to go home and finish making my hooka system for my pool.

Damon, pssst, you’ve got a full size compressor there already. Why not use that?
rug guys use compressed air, with an air dusting tool....
That other thing you got is for blowing up pool toys really fast...

I thought that is what he is using.
I don't really give a shit what anyone thinks. I like my setup.
I took that red compressor home today to use for my hookah system in my pool. It's oil free so it's safer to use for breathing. It was a success.

as in a SSBA? Or do you mean something completely different?
SSBA?

Surface Supply Breathing Apparatus, sometimes called hookah
I don't know what SSBA is. But I made a hookah system because I had to do some work on my drain 9' down and I didn't feel like draining my pool. Also had some black algae I had to address that required a lot of work. Going up for air all the time was wearing me out. So I got mad and made my own hookah system so I can work on my pool. Had to buy a regulator and an air filter, but I had the rest of the stuff laying around to put something together.

1st rule of breathing underwater, you breathe but never hold your breath. But you probably already know that.. the ex dive intructor/class III commercial diver
Right, and blow out your air before coming up.1st rule of breathing underwater, you breathe but never hold your breath. But you probably already know that.. the ex dive intructor/class III commercial diver
