[Doug Cox]

Perhaps Marty needs a seen I dog....

OMG!! I Shit Myself. LOL

 

[Desk Jockey]

Finally, you guys talking my kind of English.

You do tawk funny.

 

[Greg Cole]

This is about as interesting as the Cole thread about his girlfriends "business".

LOL!
We are in the process of selling it.

 

[Shane Deubell]

I'm shocked, shocked!

 

[Desk Jockey]

Man did he listen to Toburen or what?

"Build it to sell it."

 

[Greg Cole]

I'm shocked, shocked!

Yep- Couple months of work and a nice payday...... 100% cash deal. ( Took Steve Toburens advice).
Ironically it was my post on this site that prompted the phone call. Thanks Mikey! (and no you don't get a commission)
You didn't really think I wanted to stay in the carpet cleaning business did you? lol

 

[Mikey P]

What are you selling?

How many one time customers come Ruth the van, website, and...?

Dam, wish i could do that.

One of our accounts this guy flips bars/nightclubs.
The funniest part is 3/4 times they fail and he ends up buying them back at 10-20% then flips it again. Nice racket this character has....
Seem to be around $150k a pop

He ALMOST talked me into it, until i seen the failure rate and woke the hell up.

 

[Danny Strickland]

I've determined there are three types of people in the world.
They break down in percentages like this;

50% are FOS and don't know it
40% are FOS and DO know it (cheats, liars, BS'ers)
10% actually know what's going on ..L.T.A.

Danny "10%" Strickland !!!!!

 

[Jimmy L]

DAMN IT GUYS! and here I've been shooting for that "Wet for days" goal like SS !

Marty can claim those 2-3 hour dry times when all they have down south are ..............dirt floors.

 

[GeneMiller]

I was curious about actually dry with a meter so I brought one in. I had fans running for 45 minutes when I used the meter. It read 0 on the surface but when pressed in it beeped steady. We did a heavy pretreat and then scrubbed with the Whittaker. It always takes a lot to flush her carpets. She never vacuums and they track in black dirt. The large zipper has 05's I think and we cleaned it at 600 psi. It's not Saiger quality but I did video it if your interested.

You're running 30flow? Video please....

I'm guessing we don't hear about the failure rate. I'll stick with what I do and maybe I'll stay married unlike Cole.

Pretty sure that's what's under there. I've never looked to make sure that's what Eric installed. He said he wasn't sure if he had the 05's in stock but would use them if possible. Your not getting more than 3 gallons through 1/4" but it should be larger drops. It would only be 30 flow at 5000 psi with a pump and hose that could support it. I'll upload it to YouTube.

[Lee Stockwell]

The only way to be sure is a bucket test.

 

[Erik]

Gene, When you ordered your Zipper Wand, we were talking about building yours with an 18 flow. However, I didn't have the 03's in stock at the time. You are running a 12 flow (02's) . With your gauge set at 500 psi, your unit is putting down 2 gallons per minute. The only person I know that runs a 30 flow is Ron Lippold. A 30 flow with a stock 3/16" line was not possible to adequately keep up the pressure at the jets. I did a bucket test with an open 3/16" and the gauge set to 500 psi. It was only able to produce 3 gallons per minute. I had Ron send his handle back to me, I thought I would have to modify it to accommodate the CTX 90 fitting. However, I didn't need to. I have a 1/4" line and the CTX fittings in stock if anyone would like to run a crazy flow like that, but I honestly don't think it's needed.

 

[Jim Morrison]

I've found the only way to really find out whats going on under the surface is to run a moisture meter over the carpet. I was surprised a few times with loop style the following morning, particularly where the wand strokes overlapped!

 

[Mikey P]

How have you been Jim


Another year with no Kenadians in the Cup got your down?

 

[Jim Morrison]

It was fun watching the Flames beat Vancouver. Our local Junior A team made it to the 3rd round of the playoffs which was the furthest they have ever gone! I'm not a huge hockey fan but did enjoy it a lot this year. Having fun with the Cleanco, will start a new thread.

 

[Mikey P]

It's funny...every Canadian I know is not real NHL fan...


You got a new Cleanco?

Thanks Eric I never looked. 3 gallons is the limit for the 1/4 " solution. You can't change that no matter what. I thought it was 05 and I got 04's but the 02's clean like mad. Now I will go and look.

Gene

 

[Erik]

Gene, the line on your Zipper is 3/16". It can be changed out to 1/4".

Ok Eric thanks.

Ouch! can you say "low blow"? lol

 

[Todd Millar]

My carpet is dry to the touch before I even start cleaning ! beat that dry time!

 

[GeneMiller]

I looked at my jets today and Eric was right I have 02's on the zipper. I could of sworn I had 4's or 5's. Don't really care it cleans beautifully.

Gene

 

[Mikey P]

I don't see any reason to up the flow above what you normal run on your wands..

 

[GeneMiller]

I dint see any reason to up the flow above what you normal run on your wands..

I have 04's on my quad for quick flushing. You have to dig it out now if you want it. I won't stop carrying it because occasionally I hit a deep sculpted rug.

[Big Jim]

We've heard it all over the years here..

Dry when I leave..

Dry enough to post vacuum..

Drier then when I arrived..

Dry in two hours or we pay your mortgage off..
What is your "When will it dry" speach..

Here's how we answer on our website. Yes Mikey tired of all the B.S. drying claims

How long does it take the carpet to dry?
Here's the truth about how long it takes carpet to dry; it depends. There are many variables that determine how long it will take a carpet to dry completely. They include; weather conditions, air flow, type of carpet, carpet protector application, and level soiling just to name a few. We specialize in structural drying and understand the difficultly in predicting dry times. We also realize dry time is important to customers, but will not contribute to unrealistic drying expectations. Carpets may feel or appear to be "relatively" dry shortly after being cleaned but may take a number of hours (not days) to dry completely.

Ive yet to meet a Jim I didn't like..
