Ger a cimex, mix the correct solution rate, then apply straight from tank ;D

Not only is this the best method, it allows you to adjust the flow according to the area.

Yep...... go buy yourself a £3grand cimex.... Just the answer you wanted. ;)

I would guess its the same as HWE you could do as much as you can as long as it does,nt dry out  before you get to it.

Lee im no expert... depending on the type of carpet and the level and type of soil present will determine how much or little you apply.
To give an example if it were carpet tiles in an office with the usual coffee spillages and traffic soil, i would be very careful NOT to over wet... just lay enough down in order to get the desired result if that makes sense.

With a good quality encap wicking won't occur if that's your concern Russ.

The solution control on a cimex is next to rubbish ESP in tight areas.  I prefer to pre spray.

I used one of the release it products on a viscose rug which had been cleaned by another cleaner and it had severe browning streaks so I cleaned it with release it hydroxide like brand new when I finished.

Had one of them before the renault trafic, good workhorse. Did you get a decent size engine on it.

It takes a bit of getting used to as there is a bowl under the motor that fills up and then gravity feeds through. This means there are a few seconds delay from letting off the handle to it stopping. My pref is to open up the main tank valve slowly so that it is only open full below a half tank then use the main feed handle with a pulsing motion.

I think having the spray on the machine itself, like the Orbot seems like the best idea.

They used to produce a model that had a sprayer for the Japanese export market.

It was intended for spray buffing floors.

We got one to try with bonnets. The problem was that the surface area of the pads wasn't enough to hold soil.

Now that the chemistry has moved on this isn't such an issue
