Do you own a Prochem Titanium Wand?

[Larry Cobb]

I cant think of any other wand that would get these poll results

The original Century 400 12" S-Bend wand is the most ripped off design in the industry.

It is sold by Prochem, Interlink (AW-29), U.S. Products at one point and many others.

It is used in multiples of any other wand design.

A popularity poll for that wand would be extremely high.

I just talked to Doug Johnson (former Century 400 nat. sales Rep) and confirmed that it was designed by Bill Shero (Century 400) , Teresa (CMP) and her ex-husband Don (partner of Tony).

So who is ripping off who's designs ?

Everyone knows you get reliable information from sales reps.

He was at Century 400 during the design of that first wand.

He also got me some info I used in the Deposition that pre-dated the CD glide patent.

Nearly all design is evolutionary, not revolutionary

Copy an idea and then improve on it

For me, I love what Greenie did with the CMP 14 inch wand... Own 3 of them

And I trust the guys that swear by the Prochem Ti wand

 

[Larry Cobb]

I remember the PC Ti wand unveiling . . .

Impossible to scrub with . Only the Canadian inventor saved it from a quick extinction . . .

New wand designs will have better Airflow, and some will swivel . . .

Tom Conway liked the swivel action a lot, in his last wand review.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I sometimes scrub with the tips of the wand, and hate that about swivelers.

As old as you are and you're not using a glide?

Exactly what did Greenie do to that wand?

 

[FB7777]

Before I bought a Greenhorn, I was using a 14 inch 1.5 tube butler wand

The "attic" of the wand had removable plugs to clean out the hair and junk

I don't think he did all that much but it was a massive improvement from what Inwas using

I like that the green horn had check valves , didn't clog and had far better airflow than the butler

The cmp wand and greenglide is a major step up. I don't buy every latest and greatest techno tool.

 

[hogjowl]

My impression has always been that Greenie did nothing more than take an already existing wand and put a glide and jet extenders on it. I have a Greenhorn which my son uses.

 

[Larry Cobb]

Greenie & Lisa did make some nice improvements to a good wand (CMP 14"Low Profile) . . .

IMO, the most significant was angling the jets, and adding the glide . . .

Jet Extenders/CK.Valves and wider Sprayjets completed the package.

I can detect no appreciable benefits to angling jets. It's a bulletin board fad with a perpetual life generated by group think.

A technique used by old men who can't bend over

I have that wand and I agree.

Why bend over when you can do it great standing up?

 

[Jim Martin]

I don't like the long extensions at all....I don't think it allows the jets to do there job as well....it does not allow them to fan out and they over lap to much giving it a water streak..........the shorter ones are the best...but take all the junk out of them...the springs and the balls sooner or later just cause a distortion.....and its not like they are going to stop a wand from dripping anyway.....

as far as the angle.......does not make a bit of difference....set it so it just hits the carpet behind your glide...and it is what it is........

 

[Erik]

I like to use 1/2" extenders 9502 jets. Is that your storage shed?

 

[Erik]

If your spray pattern hits to close to the glide, you lose penetration. On a six jet Ti wand slightly turn the center jet on each manifold, so the spray doesn't collide with the others.

I want my four jet, ruger head, Mike Roden 6" extention welded Coit Ti to go in the furnace with me.

Lockhart, make sure that happens.

I'm thinking Chucky will be your best bet with that.

12" Steamway Scrub Wand 1and1/2" or the Clear Rug Doctor Swivel Model!

Lockhart would take the wand . . .

and shoot a photo to go with you to Vegan Valhalla.
