Title: Sprayer Recomendations
Post by: cannon on November 19, 2010, 08:51:29 pm
At the minute im using a cheapish sprayer and im looking for something with a bit more oomph!

It seems like its taking me an age to prespray and as we all know time is money.

So like i say im looking for something with a bit more pressure and id like a pressure gauge, reasonably priced if anyone has any recomendations.

Thanks

I have the Aerofog, I paid £180 for mine and it's never let me down.....

I spent about £300 in the first 6 months on cheaper sprayers, they're all knackered and in the bin.... ::)

I use the IK9 and I'm waiting for the new one from Restormate
with the heavy duty lance and upholstery gun.
Been waiting nearly 2 weeks for it now though, some problem
with suppliers.

Yes got the sprayer with the lance and upholstery gun.
The lance and gun are 2 nicely engineered pieces of
equipment and well worth the extra money.

I bought this a couple of months ago (NOT to be confused with the Restoremate one!!) and it wasn't desgined with carpet cleaners in mind let me tell you! The bloody handle is made of metal! So that lovely hot pre-spray mix transfers directly on to you palm!  :-[ Some black tape sorted that out.

I'll be going for a Gloria in the summer. or that airifog looks good too.

Mine arrived yesterday complete with the hand trigger, as well as spare parts to get the gloria plastic (11 years old) and gloria stainless (7 years old) working again.
That's me sorted then with a full working set of decent pump up sprayers.
Have tried a fair amount of cheap alternatives but in all seriousness quality will last longer.

I bought an IK9 that seized itself closed. I couldn't open it and ended up breaking off the locking parts of the collar through trying to free it. I had used it 4 times and had to bin it as it was rendered useless.

A great sprayer when it worked but disappointing shelf life! >:(

Find these better than the Ik9 sprayers as they don't fall over having a wider base area

Tony

ps lance a bit naff though  ;D

same as tony but i think all 3 of mine are 8 or 9 litre ones, £60 from cleansmart, seals go every now and again when using a lot of hot presprays but seals are only a couple of quid and easy to fit. had 1 of the 3 for 3 years now and apart from a few new seals its perfick.

My fault my ik9 broke really used power burst and left some in over night and plunger \ lid stuck shut due to residue and mr muscles me. Forced open and snapped handle but imo they are not strong enough. Lance is good though brass one that is. Adapted a hose lock sprayer with the good lance and been going for 2 years.but will be getting a gloria soon when I get round to it

Can Nyone tell me if you can use hot water in the IK 9?
I got mine off fleabay from solosprayers and love it esp. The upholstery wand.

Bren.
Title: Re: sprayer recomendations
Post by: Carpet Dawg on February 20, 2011, 06:11:16 pm
I've got that one. Yes of course you can use hot water! Did you also get a all metal lance too?? That makes it very annoying as the handle of the lance heats up and makes it unbareable to hold.

I wrapped black tape around the handle wich sorted out the problem.

Wish they made the IK9's plunger thicker tho.
