Have you ever wondered if you could get more work done in a day if you could run two hose set ups?

Wish you had more time and energy to do a more detailed job or the ability to add more work to your day?

Do you dream of having one tech running a Rotary Extractor and edging with a wand?

Are you feeling guilty for leaving out cleaning steps due to being rushed to get through the day?



If you're a small one or two truck businesses struggling to keep up with demand, dual wanding may be your answer to increase productivity, boost moral, keep your lower back happy, increase your job average and just flat out, do a BETTER JOB!

MB's Mark Saiger and I will be discussing our machines, methods and reasoning behind our dual wanding approach this Wednesday night (7/29/2015)

I cannot see dual wanding and without a #5 blower, #6 would be better.

Good discussion but I think I'm already decided.

We dual wand a lot especially on commercial jobs and Upholstery. With the Aerotech it is easy to setup and you don't have a drop in performance. Mark does it right running two Butlers, that is what I did for 25 years before moving to the larger equipment. I would not dual wand with Butler's or any slide in, they cannot produce the pressure or vacuum to clean to our standard.

The most efficient dual wanding for me was when both my Son's were on the job with me and we dual wanded with the Genesis 59. With 2 wands cleaning, and one of us prespraying and tabbing/blocking, it made for a faster day and a bigger bottom line, even though I was paying my 2 Sons good wages. I haven't done that in a while. Only on up/down emptys where we can make time.

Steve-

Don't be so closed minded.

If you haven't already tried dual wanding with a system that is more than capable of supplying 2 wands at the same time with no noticeable loss of pressure, heat, and vacuum, then you are in for a treat.

Make more money with less equipment and fewer vans by dual wanding.

Our dual wand slide-in has heat pressure and vacuum to make it work properly, and that's with a #45 blower.

Both you guys need to check it out tomorrow night. What have you got to lose?
