Title: Wonder wand at 100 psi
Post by: JS2 on April 22, 2009, 07:50:51 pm

Does anyone use the Wonderwand at 100 psi, which is sometimes claimed to be the absolute lowest psi level.  I clearly understand why this probably won't give the optimum result due to the way it works, but I'm wanting to reduce the residual wetting as much as possible.  I've currently got an Extracta 12" wand with see-thru section.

I was always under the impression that the Wonder wand had a minimum recommend of 200psi ???

The CFR hand tool has a minimum recommend of 100psi.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

This has always been my understanding of the requirements too.  However upon seeing the 100 psi lower limit mentioned on a suppliers web-site, and discussing the issue with them, I was fairly informed that 100 psi is probably too low for this particular wand.  Hence I'm now open to comments from others who've used the Wonderwand at 100 psi - although I'm getting that feeling of isolation which suggests there's very few of them !!!!
