GreenGlides Aluminum Hi-Perf Hose Fittings

[truckmount girl]

When Jeff and I were together we sold these. Joiners, reducers, wye's for both 2" and 2.5" hose. Thin walled, hard anodized aluminum.

When we split the biz in 2009, Jeff took that part of the business. It now seems Jeff may be permanently out of the industry and I am considering bringing these back into production.

Is there enough interest to bother investing into tooling up and making them again?

Take care,
Lisa

I've used the alum. waste tank elbows on 2 truckmounts now and really like them. I doubt I would use the connectors as I've gotten pretty used to locking cuffs.

What is Greenie going to do?

I am definitely interested in some of those fittings. Right now I would buy a 2.5" smooth elbow coming off the waste tank to eliminate the two 2" 90degree plastic elbows.

Will any of those items be an answer to cool cuffs?

Are cool cuffs questionable?

The psychotic behind them is.

Not really, they are not locking. They are barbed.

I might still be interested, since they are metal, and might not wear our and start to slip with age.

I've got many 2.5 couplers, a 2x2x2 wye, and a 2.5x2x2 wye. Oh, and I also have the 2.5 smooth flow elbows into the waste tank.....nice. They never wear out, so who's to know if anyone will need them. The tank lid elbows will always be needed.

I have the exact same pieces except the big 2.5" waste tank elbow.

Nobody cares what you two have.

She wants to know what you will buy.

Try to keep up.

I could use a 2X2X2 Y. I think there would be a good market if you were to bring them back...

 

[Mikey P]

Its all just a shopping cart away...

 

[Mikey P]

How about a ready for action titanium wand too?

PC ti
Glide
Soft touch trigger
Proper jetting
Check valves
Mytee handle

All for $________(less than it would cost to do yourself)

 

[Mikey P]

And you of all outdoor could get Bristor to let you sell his stuff..

 

[hogjowl]

You seriously do need to expand your offerings.

And the more of Bristors stuff you can pirate, the happier many of us will be.

 

[Mikey P]

No need to pirate when you have leverage...

 

[hogjowl]

Bond holders thought they had leverage with Argentina too.

I think dealing with Bristor may be like calling in dept from Chavez.

 

[Mikey P]

For a short period of time Greenie had this industry by the balls..

Now that he is completely out its time to grab a good hold again and start running.

You have every thing it would take to rule the online contingency of carpet cleaners.

He sure did!

Really...miss Debbie downer... You obviously didn't read my previous comment.

Aren't you a porty hack?

Even though I'm a Ti wand guy bringing back the Greenhorn wouldn't be a bad thing either as far as a cheaper version...

 

[hogjowl]

You could fill a bathtub with the water the Greenhorn sprayed off both sides of the glide.

 

[Zee]

Are you asking me?

Been using a 14" Greenhorn for four-plus years. No overspray.

I'll buy anything from Lisa.

 

[mirf]

A simple YES

You could fill a bathtub with the water the Greenhorn sprayed off both sides of the glide.

I guess, slightly changing the jet's angle and using a narrower angled jets at the ends, may have been out of your comfort level.
Or did you not know that there are other ways to fill your bath tub?

 

[hogjowl]

You really shouldn't be assuming anything Ofer. My experiences with attempting to solve this problem have been extensive. And my discussions with various different people over the years about it have been well documented on this forum. Jet sizes and angles, wand shields and side notches have all been attempted. Nothing has solved it.

And those of you who say you don't have the problem with your wands are mistaken. You are just not focused enough, attentive enough, or bright enough to recognize it.

I definately IS a problem, but not one that most cleaners notice and not one that most mfgs want to try to solve. Greenie was the only guy who agreed that it was a valid occurance and attempted to solve it.

I used to think it was caused by the additional height of the jets, caused by the adding of the glide, but putting extenders on the jets, or changing the width of the spray pattern didn't affect it. Since Lisa started making flat bottomed glides with a side slot, I wonder if that didn't stop it, but I have long since stopped using the Greenhorn and so I can't tell.

I do know that my current wand with a flat bottomed glide on it doesn't overspray much.

 

[ruff]

Sorry, Marty.
I am sure that you tried and I know for a fact that you care greatly about your work and pay much attention to the tools you use.

On the other hand I do have a green horn and a rip off greenhorn by Bristor (sold to me as a green horn) and neither have an over spray problem.
By the way, Jeff's Green Horn is far superior to Bristor's knock off.
