Prochem Titanium and New Westpak Titanium.
Nothing Scientific....just in one of the garages with some dirty carpet samples,.
Prespray only, no prevac, no agitation....just the family getting together.
What we found in our fun
1) the Westpak titanium is a bit shorter and maybe a bit heavier than the Prochem (we did not weigh them, just going by feel)
2) We had Hybrid glides on both, the Prochem had a newer glide.
3) The Prochem had six 11002 Jets for 12 flow, the Westpak has 4 jets and we had 11002 jets in for 8 flow.
4) We found the height from the bottom of the jets to the floor (or carpet) to be about the same in distance which was right around 1 inch to the hard surface floor. The Prochem had 1 inch check valve extenders and the Westpak had half inch extenders .
5) We would have liked to have tried 11003 jets in the Westpak as it might have had some streaking or distortion with the .02 jets and we think the impact from .03 jest (and 12 flow) would have helped it. We did not have .03 jets to test (but we did have beer!)
6) We were running a High Heat Butler on high setting with 25 feet of 2.5 inch hose, to 50 feet of 2 inch hose. Water pressure was at 500 PSI which has been a sweet spot for our Butlers and current wand set ups. That pressure might have been a little high for the Westpak on some carpet, but again, the .03 jets could help (or dialing down the pressure).
The Westpak Titanium is a good wand for the price and it will come down to preference and price point for some.
Keep in mind, if taller, the Westpak might be a bit short for you, but could be comfortable for many.
I use the Prochem Titanium all the time and did not find the switch back and forth really noticeable.
Again, no science involved here….Just some fun and trying to find some sweet spots for the new Westpak….
