Cobbs Powermax and the HydroForce

[Mikey P]

How many of you fans use a HF to spray it down?

Never could get it to work right, so have others so I hear
I figure its to 02 fizz messing up the Dema valve..


You?

We ended up premixing about 4 gallon in a 5 gallon hedpak, shaking the heck out of it, and then pouring it into the hf.

Days ahead of time?

We went thru a lot of it. Never had an issue with "stale" product due to being mixed ahead. Our only problem was a "weak" batch during a big project. Jason wasn't happy at all. It had been great until that.

we don't have a issue, but i showed you how we mix it with very hot tm heated water and shake it well, then go at it.

 

[Jim Martin]

I have always used the HF to spray it on...

the good fluffy batches you can mix with hot or cold....

the sandy grainy stuff...hot water only......

Bucket after bucket through a hydroforce no problems..
and I run 3 cups (24ounces) in a 5 quart container.

People that have trouble mixing PowerMAX don't know the meaning of:
"Hot Water" and "Shake"

3 cups.... Holy shit

We use 4 scoops in a 4 to 1 HF and never had a problem.

I seldom use a Hydrosoaker, but when I do, I notice PM does not stay mixed in it. It gets a darker yellow layer at the top. It doesn't bother me, but I suspect that is what most of the DAP's are talking about.

I stopped using it because it would clog the tiny filter every job. Mixed with hot water straight from the lg heater. Could barley hold on to the hf. Changed to flex citrus, hot or cold no issues. I will order cobbs again. I miss how it brightens the carpet. It's works great when you get a good batch.

Never could get it to work right.. I only used it in a HF.

The Dynachem PowerMax has a time-release oxidizer . . . By design, it does not dissolve immediately . . .
This can clog some of the very small filters in some inline sprayers . . . We do have larger acorn filters to minimize any blockage on the filter . . . Ask for one with your next PowerMax order . . .

I mix it well with diesel burner heat...buckets and buckets went through over the years... No problems. But I mix it with a piece of hose. And shake it after each room.

 

[dealtimeman]

I don't know wher I got the habit from, but just like zee has stated above , I have a habit of shaking hydroforce before every room or area.

Maybe psychologically I belived it works better or something like that.

I do the same no matter what pre spray I'm using. I also try to make sure I'm on the carpet and not the wood or tile floor before doing so because it always spurts out the top vent hole.

Shaking the jug while using it keeps the particles from settling on the bottom, where they will clog the regular filters.
