Title: Prochem Powermax + wonderwand
Post by: Samuel on June 18, 2007, 05:32:51 pm

Having trawled through most of the carpet cleaning section I couldn't find a reference as  to whether or not the Prochem Powermax and the Wonderwand CFR are compatible. Does anyone use this set-up?.. and if so, is there any improvement in water recovery and solution pressure?

Ideally, I would like to purchase the Powrflite CFR portable because of the 500 p.s.i. as opposed to Prochems 120.p.s.i. The only problem is that the Powrflite weighs twice as much, making it impractical for my type of work (End of lets, top flor flats and no power in the hallways etc.)

Any useful feedback will be much appreciated.

I have a wonderwand that I use with my TM so why wouldn't it be compatable it was designed to work on any HWE.

Mine is for sale as my TM sucks it to the floor and I can't move it.

The wonder wand is not going to work with a machine that is only able to perform to 120 psi. The wand has three jets so i just dont think youll get enough flow from your prochem pump.

Thanks for the input Steve.

Real dilemma. I've spent weeks of research trying to get a fine balance between a lightweight machine but with lots of power, but at the same time good local distributors and serviceability.

Prochem is the obvious choice.... Pity they don't market a porty with at least 400 p.s.i. and weighing only 35kg!

I believe that the Wonderwand requires a MINIMUM of 200psi, but more is preferable.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

My Wonderwand cleans very well at any pressure from
100 psi up to 700 psi which my powrflite 500 should not reach.

The wand only uses 3 x 01 jets, so is probably less flow than
your current jet.

Ps mine came from America wrongly jetted with 2 x 01, and
1 x 03.
