Jason you do get a wand with them now as long as you tell them when ordering When they get them in they have a wand on but they cut them of as they put a valve on for window cleaners.

Cheers Tony

Jason.

Good result But! I understood that the correct speed for rotary work on carpets
was 175-220rpm because higher speeds can damage the carpet.

Great result Jason

What pads do you use and where do you get them from, as I noticed that you did not agitate the pre-spray

Cheers

To answer a few questions ,
Shoe size 11 , but they stretch with all the pre-spray

Cleaned using Nemesis

Te carpet was a Flotex type pile.

Who says 175 rpm is the correct speed for rotary? I have never had an issue , I have tried to burn one with old carpet from a flood ,, it takes over 30 seconds stationary with a dry pad to make a mark on the carpet I used , 10 seconds less than it takes to burn with a slow speed.

The pads are tuway pads from Jon-don in the states , not bought any for a couple of years.   It is very rare I agitate pre spray , if the carpet appears that soiled eg pub/club , I do not want the job .

I noticed that Jim, how little prespray, but did you see when Jason moved to the lime green part of the carpet - just touched it with his rotary and immediately cleaner. no aggitation either.

I had already sprayed the carpet , when I decided to do the video. 
Pre spray was applied at a rate of 1 litre for each 10 metres of carpeting.

There are brown strips built into the pad which provide agitation , the whole carpet looked instantly better after the first pass, the pad was brown looking . After the second pass the pad did not appear soiled at all.

Jason,

nice video.

Just one slight thing. Have you noticed your posture?

I've noticed on my Dry Fusion machine that the comfortable position is "between clicks" on the handle adjustment. I tend to lean forward to compensate which gets painful after a while.

Make sure you look after your back.
