I guess it's time to try but is anybody ran six flow through an AW29 long enough to come to??

[Mikey P]

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. What happened to Conway's sliding vac relief on the lip of the wand glide? If there was to be any airflow, I'd want it starting at the carpet

a intentional leak on the end of a glide does the same thing...

 

[Bob Savage]

Improved from what?

Those holes in the cuff improved my dry times before adding the controlled air leak, not to mention the wand glides over the carpet much easier during the entire cleaning job.

 

[Dolly Llama]

back in the olden days, some claimed to file small notches on the back lip for the same effect
(keeping the air/recovery water flowing) and presumably prevent lock-down


..L.T.A.

on the original PMF 802 flat acetal glides, anyways

 

[Cleanworks]

On certain hand/stair tools, I've seen holes drilled into the back of the vacuum chamber, near the outer edges. I believe mainly to reduce overspray but also keeps the air flowing.

Overspray
When will somebody truly fix it?

Studebaker did with the Stryker

Never heard of either one
Must not have greased your pocket

so bitter..
No overspray but it sucked in every other regard

this was pre-glide

Yeah, the Butler one used to have those little channels cut into them but that was probably a combination of vacuum relief and agitation providers

I'm working on it. Another of the benefits of my RVJR'S. You don't get that steam spray puffing into the work area everytime you trigger the valve. If I look close to the surface when the solution is flowing, I can see a small amount of it being thrown sideways on some carpets and at transitions/doorways. Never do I have blasts of hot vapor introduced to atmosphere like you see on all/most of the pics/video I see submitted on line.
A silicone brush ring added to the cleaning head like on my tile cleaner would eliminate the side throw almost completely.

 

[hogjowl]

“Almost” isn’t good enough

 

[Rob Grady]

As a wear item, the skirt would interface at carpet level, attached to the plastic shroud that rivets to the metal 3 slot cleaning chamber. And I think I will drill one of my spare heads as Bob suggests.
Nothing to lose, lots to learn.

Do they not own a vacuum?

 

[Rob Grady]

Several, and pile-lifters also. I dry vac with the RVJR regularly on these jobs.

All of those tools are older than Matt.

I’d love to get a pile lifter just so I could say I have one

I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking about the customer.. I didn’t even think of dry vacuuming with a RV.. Interesting to say the least..

I do. just not every time like the Alabamian

In theory yes but the only thing they agitated were loose yarns in a seam.
I owned 3 Butler wands and all were removed and replaced with smooth lips.

 

[hogjowl]

Or, I price things so that I can spend the time necessary.

They have a three-piece set of a certain somebody's Teflon glide offerings that they're evaluating for OEM applications at the moment..

In Pigsville does that mean . 42 or $45 a room?
