one note Marty
if you ever had the inclination to learn a musical instrument , I recommend the triangle ....
better yet , go with a metronome .... it will relax you as you transition to your final nap

Why are defoamers always left off these lists?

Dinosaur story time.
In the 70’s we sold defoamer, antistatic spray, and browning treatment by the 5 gallon pail, multiple cases, sometimes 55 gallon drum.
In the 80’s and early 90’s, by the case.
Since then, no more anti stats, and the other stuff by the gallon.
Now, we dust off the individual gallons that sit on the shelf.

if I go through half a tub a year of defoamer, thats pushing it.

It takes less than a minute to sprinkle some around. If you get into the habit of doing it your levels of extraction stays consistent on every job. Every job doesn’t need it. But it makes every job better. Only takes a little product and a little time. I guess I like that 70’s groove.

I gave the 2"Dev14 a rest yesterday and used the ss12 without a whip yesterday and it was a joy.
I thought the 14 would be faster than the 12-- but I'm beginning to have my doubts.
I might have to follow @Mikey P and replace my Dev14 with a Dev 12.
Disclaimer: If I still used a TM with a 5.9 blower- I believe a bigger wand would be faster.
The wand and technique should be adjusted to the equipment used.

I'm not vury good at math, but know how to work a calculator
on a 16ft wide room, 2" wider stroke cuts 3ft off the width
on a 25x16 room, 2" additional shaves 75sf of strokes
75sf X's 5 or 10 rooms a day adds up
the question I wonder, what's less stressful on the body long term?
It's all about years and years and decades of physical repetitive motion that causes pain great or small to all eventually
so I wonder
20% more strokes and time per room with a little easier push, or 20% less strokes 'n work a day with more productive head ?

Rarely see a need for defoam, but if it works for you why not.

One of the reasons I like Procyon. Zero foam.

There’s a really good chance you will not like the Dev12 as much as your SS12.

Its seems less strokes are needed with the 12 inch wand because More water is removed with each stroke.
Odd- i agree.- but 12 works better with smaller blower.
1 stroke was all i needed w the V.

given the likelihood Columbo doesn't know the difference, I'll illustrate for him
here's the blower in a "normal" TM
here's the blower in a V

I have not had a piece of 1.5" vac hose in either van for 25 years!
I use a piece of flexible 2" hose going to the wand with a hose cuff for conversion if need be for 2" hose to 1.5" wand.

The SSti wands are so damn light, "2" can teeter tooter them.
