Yes Paul I am looking forward to having a go with the Prowler.
I have said on here that if I ws a bit younger I would probably go for a Prowler.
but as I am not a bit younger I am happy with the Scorpion.

Looking forward to looking at the greenie wands as well.

Will be a good day I'm sure.

Guys, if you even think for a second you want to upgrade a wand, anything you buy with the GreenGlides name on it comes with a no questions ask buy back guarantee, it's worth a few quid in shipping from HydraMaster to have access to a superior tool.

Now that said....a lil' 300 psi pump would require a jet (nozzle) down size from the stock factory jets 110 02 x 4 on the 12" version.

It's nuts to run a high performance Porty with a small wand, the bigger bore makes all the difference on an elec. machine just like it does on a TM.

What are you saying Jeff
is it the standard size jets are 110 02 and you need to downsize from there

or is it you down size to 110 02 from  a larger stock size.

Joe the 02 is the size of the hole in the nozzle for example 01 jet would have less water flowing through a 02 jet as it is a smaller opening. On most wands in this country we go up to a flow rate of 6 so a two jet wand would have 2 x 03 jets =06 a 4 jet wond would have 4 x 1.5 jets.In the USA and with truckmounts because of higher airflow/vacuum a higher flood from the jet helps water suction and actually increases drying which I know sounds strange, but is true. Therefore the guys up jet to a total of 8 or 9 .

Hope I  have explained that in a way that makes sence.

I have been using the Greenie wand with my 300psi Recoil with  4   02 jets does not seem to be a problem  :)

Jeff should i downsize the jets?

Love the wand by the way.

Gents' it's totally up to you, just know there is balancing point you have to find, bumping up your flow rate (bigger jets) will decrease your operating pressure some and vise versa, so pick your poison.

A little more Flush...or a little more Impact.

Glad the 12" Greenhorn is serving well, the 14" are all the rave here in the states, but you guys really like the 12" version, it's all good.  Pixie houses?
