If you upload it to youtube I can do it.

Other vids won't play live here....That I know of.

 

[floorguy]

the file on my phone is to big :shock: :shock: :shock:

wont let it upload



oh and by the way

I AM IN FACT A HIGH HEAT HIGH FLOW GUY..... but for you loons that think 260 atm translates to that at the wand...think again..

this was 15 flow at around 5-600 psi....

 

[Brian R]

If you want me to upload it just email me the file

But it looks like you may have uploaded it right from your phone. Can you email it from your phone?

if you think 240 ATW translates to that at the "fiber" ...think again
You might of been getting a buck-eighty to the fiber

when it gets to the "tearing" sound is when you're at max effectiveness

Don't know what I was getting today, but when I stopped fir just 30 sec I would have to pull the trigger several times as I was getting nothing but vapor and I an sur the water was no hotter than 230 atm. I turned the machine down shortly after and still ran out of water. I hate that.

So you think from the valve, down the hose, to the jets and to the fiber 1" off the floor, and i lost 60 degrees???

mind you i am at 15 flow "big droplets" vs 6 or 8 flow "misting"

yea, i do.

go to Harbor Freight and for $5 dollars yu can buy quick rise digital meat thermometer .
put the probe on the carpet under the jet spray and get the temp....simple, cheap and accurate as can be


nothing to it

[sweendogg]

Seriously go do it.. though I'm betting slightly better than 180.. assuming linear relationship. I lost 40 degrees with 15 flow 200 to 160. so I would be betting you could be gettin 197 to 205 range.

Floorguy;

Heat loss from the TM to the wand would depend on the insulating properties of the solution hose . . .

and how quickly water was flowing thru it.

[floorguy]

larry that is ATW not the machine....see the thermo on there??

Meat and I are talking from QD to fiber on the wand

 

[Bill Soukoreff]

I have tested it with only 10 flow on a 5 jet greenhorn wand with Bristor's sheer kit. With 240f at the wand the temperature at the fiber was 210+ and that was outside with some wind. It would be even better in a house. Psi was 500.

The carpet stays hot for several minutes.

 

[GeneMiller]

I wouldn't waste one minute worrying about the temp. Just look and see if the carpets are cleaning.
