500 - 600 minging or deeper pile carpets

Average 400 - 500 on carpets with standard 2 jet wand medium to high soil

300 carpets light clean quick one pass wanding

350 - 400 with 3" & 5"cfr handtools mostly no.2 65 jet with 1 or 2 slots open. More holes open = slight decrease in vac at fabric so more solution contact time = more aggressive cleaning and less arm ache in my experience tho then wise to do dry passes.

500 with 7.5" single jet  cfr on stairs.

Using these psi' happily acheive sensible water useage ie 400 litres easy does a long day cleaning - with very acceptable drying times.

All the best

Whatever the standard JK pushes out on the wand he supplies with the Prowler - I think it may be 2x1.5
Dont know what it is on the CFR and the head is in the van - too cold to go and look. ::)

Joe, manufacturers standard wand jets are a total of 6 so it will be 2 x 03 on your wand. ( bet you go out to look now  :D)

Some truckmounters with 45 blowers and above will jet up to 9 escpecially if they are wanding with 4 or 6 jets as this will give more flow/flush which will aid suction therefore leaving the carpet drier. ;)

My Ti wand has 6 x 015 = 0.9 but I think my single jet wand flushes better which has 1 x 06 but that's to do with flow but the drying time isn't as good.

Shaun that because your single jet wand is 1 1/2 tube and the ti is 2 inch  ::)

True but the steam from the jet bellows out.

Theres no need for you to have to hope my pre rinse work is good mate as I ALWAYS ensure that it is...  ;)

Also when extracting at above 400 ish psi there is usually a good surplus of rinse solution dotting about so no worries there either...

Reassuringly confident

I love prowlers me!!!!!  ;D

This time of year I think every one is cleaning with the stuff!

Do you ever regret not keeping up with the fast track pricing and quoting? last time we spoke about it you found that you had reduced some of your prices but with out knowing??

Stu change the jets to 03 and drop the psi to 250 and you will get a better clean. ;)

Shaun, ive upt the evo to 10, put 02s on the ends with a wider angle for the edges , it gives it extra hit.
