Title: Orbot Pads
Post by: CleanerCarpets on September 06, 2017, 09:47:15 pm

Any advice on encap pads for the Orbot?

Are there any differences between a standard white floor pad and the Agiclean pads from Amtech?

I used the Orbot today on commercial carpet with standard white pad and then a post bonnet with the Zorb pad. It did the job well but I wasn't able to get the same foam going as I would using the white pad and tank feeding from a rotary.

I used less solution which is good and the results were good but I felt the carpet wasn't quite slippery/wet enough for the white pad.

The weight of ordinary pads might be to heavy and unbalance the orbit. Stick with the environ pads and chemicals they do a good job.  Environ chemicals are not of the shampoo range that others do.

No only white/red pads or  the standard bonnets
