360i brush head

[Loren Egland]

Just did this job a couple days ago.View attachment 74523

I keep telling you Loren, the Brush Head greatly out performs the quad...

Is there a quad brush head available?

 

[Loren Egland]

Dang, Loren. You really missed a couple of BIG spots there!

I didn't miss these spots. I just couldn't get them out because I didn't have the brush head on my Rotovac.

very effective on hammered carpet. I used them for many weeks but cleaning them got way to frustrating. I've no patients for combing out fibers that resist a good side spray from my hydraforce gun. IMHO if you don't mind many minutes at the curb spraying and plucking debris then you will find them a winner. You can really cheat on your prespray with them.

You pick funny shit to worry about.

My Brush Head came in yesterday.... Thanks Mikey and Nick L.! I popped the glides off and broke it in on wet concrete... Can't wait to use it... Might clean the office if I can't wait....

 

[Mikey P]

Be careful of those those glides, the come off far too easy

 

[Old Coastie]

They come off? How?

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

Maybe a stupid question, but are the brushes replaceable? I received it today, and am going to use it on a large, GROSS resi job on Thursday.....

Not really but you can replace the brush head main part and use all your other parts such as jet manifold section and stem and suction shoes, and the gaskets and metal cover

Speaking of the gasket, what do you use on the felt gasket?

 

[Nate The Great]

I've never used anything on it.. Replacing it periodically when it looks like crap or you hear an air leak.. It creates the seal between the base plate and head..

I've heard of others using a silicone spray on it.. Just keep at least 1 on the truck to replace when needed.. Also you should be unscrewing the head off each job to check for hair/lint that gets wrapped around the shaft.. It can limit suction..

On my regular head, I use a product called Fluid Film.... it's based on a wax wool formula( the shyte they wash off raw wool when they process it). I've owned my 360i for almost 4 years, and am on my 2nd felt gasket.... used that product since day 1......

 

[Nate The Great]

I think I have had that product also.. I just remove the gasket while I wash off the head and put it back on after I dry off the head and base..

I've used Rotovacs since the mid 1990's.. Gaskets are good to keep on-hand regardless..

So, RotoVac, why not make brushes that can be attached to a regular cleaning head? If you want to use the brushes, leave them on, if not, quickly remove them. And while your at it, make the brushes available in different stiffnesses AND make them reversible.
Why do we need to purchase a brand new head just to get brushes, aside from the profit angle which is important. But you could sell detachable brushes, probably reach more cleaners, and still make a tidy profit.

Cause then they couldn't sell a guy like me a 580$ brush........

Any drawings or discription of how they would attach?


I'm just not seeing it

 

[Nate The Great]

Take a brush and screw or bolt it onto the head.. Have multiple to go around.. It's not rocket science..

 

[BradFenstermaker]

Hey 360 guru's is this best for residential or can is be used on CGD or restaurant??

 

[hogjowl]

Every commercial carpet I have used the brush head on seems to get swirl markes that won’t go away.

 

[GeeeAus]

The brush head for 360i just eats shitty jobs.

No dicking about.... bye bye dirt. Hello fluffy restored carpet. Litterally turns back the clock on some nylons and polyester.

 

[Andy]

If you are fighting nap streaks and or swirls turn down your heat. The porty guys don't have the problems because they have low heat and low pressure. Keep the same thought in mind when using them with your truckmount.

 

[Mikey P]

There you go Marty.

 

[hogjowl]

Cool

 

[Sierra Clean Care]

I seriously doubt it would be worth the effort of engineering a way to securely mount the removable brushes in a way that would make them replaceable on site in the same amount of time it takes to simply spin off one head and spin on another. I don't think saving a few bucks would be worth the effort for the cleaner and RotoVac isn't in business to save us money. It is a good thought but for the fantastic results and how much easier it is to clean with a 360i, the heads are well worth it.

I think the more troublesome part of the heads is removing the spray jets and cleaning them on-site when they get clogged, what a PITA especially when the jets get a little worn on the outside. Please work out a fix for this before even thinking about removable brushes RotoVac.
