Dave,

My two all-time favourites are the Kleenrite swivel-head, where deep injection is required and the CFR Combi Tool for all other upholstery.

Apart from excellent drying the latter tool, due to having the supply and recovery both within ¹/₄" means that the tool can be held static on very dirty beads without over-wetting.

I worked for many years with a Prochem "Chisel Head" and was very pleased with it's performance. But my CFR has been a revelation. Alternative, wider heads available which can be changed in seconds, 4 different jet sizes available to suit the needs of the carpet/fabric and they're Q/D too. It's been said by many that this tool can give truckmount drying performance from a portable. I wouldn't disagree.  Water consumption varies according to the jet used, but less than your current tool. An excellent tool available from Amteck UK, World of Clean, A&M in Watford and others too.

Safe, happy and quick dry cleaning:)

Whats the minimum psi the cfr tool would operate on?

Mark,

In a recent conversation with Karl at Amtech, he stated that any pressure from 100psi would be OK, but he thought around 200-250psi to be the optimum for most upholstery.

My own experiments would agree with this.

Thanks John

KEN:

How do you find your cfr with your pro plus?



Thanks

Although only 100 psi, I find the results and speed of cleaning to be excellent. I use an 01 jet for finer fabrics and an 02 for heavier.

My backup machine (also a Pro Plus) has a 135 pump, but I can't detect any advantages over my much older and well worn 100 psi.

Safe and happy cleaning:)

Ken,

If you were to try @ 200-250psi, you would notice a big difference - the speed at which you can move the tool to achieve the same result increases greatly - yet you can still hover on bead etc. without soaking.
