Sorry i've been gone but I had my best week ever working 12 hr days. Too tired to even invoice till today. Anyways I rinsed my tank out really well (its kinda hard on this unit) and about a basketball sized pile of crb removal piled up and it did a lot better. I don't see how that affected it because my filter wasn't that bad. I also noticed the closer the water is to the filter the higher the hgs go

Please tell me your not using the Bane wand and 150psi to clean with your new-to-you setup............? :lol:
I started with my prochem wand today but It was streakingbad and at different pressures so I decided to try the bane wand.

What a huge difference. The carpet looked better and felt drier. It was also a lot quiter at the wand lip.

I picked up new jets just now to try and see if that helps but I may just stay with my bane wand.

I also ended up at 400 psi for my cleaning pressure. It seemed to be a sweet spot for the jets to fan out properly.

I cleaned the jets real good over the weekend but they are probably real old and wore out. Ill try it with the new ones though.

use stainless steel. Brass wears out too fast.
Thats what was on there and thats what I bought.

Other than too much steam coming off the wand im liking the way the bane wand is working with the higher pressure.
