Porty guy wants a single jet wand with 10 flow..

[Mikey P]

He's been at it for 30 plus years using inexpensive 100 PSI 2 stage vac portables and wants to order a customized hydrohoe from me and insisting that he's always used 10 flow.

He says he can do about 300 ft per tank full but I don't know what the tank full means...


If any of you heard of this before?

 

[AlienAgent]

Yes, I’ve heard of it… it’s called insanity.

30+ years?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

And now he wants to #upgrade

 

[hogjowl]

I bet you tried to sell him a pad machine

 

[Mikey P]

yup

I bet you tried to sell him a pad machine

You'd think but I was too busy telling him why he doesn't want a 14010 jet...

 

[Austin Willoughby]

He's convinced he doesn't need a TM to run 10 flow and that his porty will put perform a 56 blower and 3.5 gpm is all

 

[Mikey P]

Besides I already sold three trinities today, threw Westpak wands, and more Glides than I can count so no need to be greedy...

I bet he can out clean our teemfeer super stars Damon and Matt, with his eyes closed...

And he only needs a 10 flow 1 jet wand to do it makes sense right?

 

[Austin Willoughby]

There ya go Mikey I edited that for ya incase you didn't original pick up what I was putting down lol

 

[Mikey P]

He is probably getting 30-50 psi at a 10 flow. Good for rinsing as long as you do a good prespray and agitate with a 175 or crb. I've done that in the past but now prefer 400 psi at a 3-4 flow. Blasts the dirt from the carpet. Still have to use the crb sometimes.

Well I can only get him an 8 flow and tinted to include a four flow that comes stock with that wand..

 

[Austin Willoughby]

Just dont put a jet on it at all and vuala 100 flow

I would guess 300 sq ft for 10 gal of solution tank, we used a single 8 flow jet with a 100 psi pump on our serva steam.

 

[SamIam]

He's convinced he doesn't need a TM to run 10 flow and that his porty will put perform a 56 blower and 3.5 gpm is all

He's not running 10 flow at 500 psi


It's a 100 psi the gal per minute is a lot lower.

True true didn't think of that but hey can't quite touch a TM in a proper scenario

Yep. Back in the late 70s through the early 80s.

Things were so different then I wonder if I dreamed it all.

Now I'm wondering what my single jet junker wand was jetted at that that was hooked up to @SamIam's portable..

Likely a "10"

I could regale you with so many "Old Guy" stories on how we (mis)used things, but reminscing is the lowest form of conversation, and I do it too often.

What I prefer to do is to look ahead on making things better. I am looking at chemistry for VLM cleaning of upholstery and rugs that can help protect dyes and textures from damage during cleaning right now, as an example.

Perhaps that will bring some redemption for the horrible things I did as a cleaner nearly half a century ago.

Maybe I need to revist the past with a 100 psi single two stage and see what 10 flow does.


These guys usually dont want a Glide as it removes their only sorce of aggitation, it could beanother few years or never as they old school dies off, or become school janitors.

 

[KevinD]

I had a couple hydrahoes back in the 80's.
All had 08 jets. Never seen a 10

 

[scotty747]

I got two sitting in the corner of my shed. I'v thrown away at least two. No idea where i even got em.

Hey, watch it!!!

 

[Dolly Llama]

will a 10 even atomize correctly with typical 100psi porty pump?


..L.T.A.

 

[Mikey P]

I talked to him again today and my mistake, he actually has a 150 psi pump..

 

[hogjowl]

Oh,
he’s a baller then

Doesn't atomize, floods the carpet with large droplets.
