Hey Mike, I'm not sure. Let me do some checking on that. I'll get back to you.

Derek, The spray head is unique, in that it's mounted directly to the end of the lance. The spray head has 5 adjustable settings: tight jet, 15° fan, 25° fan, 40° fan, and shower. I like the 40° fan setting for applying encap juice.

When it arrives, I'll drag it behind the van to the first job, then get back to you.

IPS just came out with their Carpet Cleaner or Deluxe Basic model $169. With the good seals. 1 battery and a spray tip.

I agree Bob - IPS makes a nice sprayer. I think the Hydroshot has a slightly beefier build. But the IPS is also a good sprayer.

As one of 'the five' and an owner (and fan) of the IPS, I will do a side by side. We already know that viton seals would be nice and I'm glad they are offered on the IPS model mentioned above.
This'll be fun.

It is here. First impression is that it is well made and beefy. The IPS on steroids.
However, I see nothing to indicate that sucking chemicals through it (as we do with the IPS) is okay. I plan to call the manufacturer tomorrow morning, before trying to use it.

The manufacturer makes DIY home-improvement products. They aren't in any way associated with the cleaning industry, so they don't have information about using it with detergents. But I have already cleared it with their development dept. And if you'll use a mid pH range detergent, and rinse it out afterwards like I described above, you shouldn't run into any problem. I've already tested the Hydroshot on a couple of jobs and it works great. Try it with a typical Encap Detergent. It puts down a perfect amount of solution, and it's quick. Let us know what you think. I think you're going to love it!!!

Five things to note:
1. Top up the battery before using it. It arrives with a partial charge.
2. It'll take a moment to prime the solution through the unit. Be patient.
3. Position the hose in the bucket so that the end of the hose stays at the bottom of the bucket. You could even attach something like a fishing weight to hold the end of the hose down.
4. Don't use harsh chemicals with the Hydroshot. Midrange pH detergents are OK.
5. Run some fresh water through the Hydroshot to clear the system after you finish using it.
Have fun!

I don't know for sure 100%. But I would assume that a solvent-free protector should be alright.

Jeremy, I did a large residential job today. Try using the shower tip with the long wand. You can flat out fly. Also if you tilt your five gallon bucket, the large filter will get all but a little of the fluid.
Let us know how it goes.

5 gallon bucket too heavy and cumbersome to use in homes. Up and back down a flight of stairs…you'll change your mind real fast about the 5gallon.
