Took the 14/2 out to clean a empty community rm at the base.

Felt like i was driving a 1967 Cadillac in comparison to my new VW Bus...

Strange how we get use to things and actions...

What's a 14-2?



can be used for lights
everything else should be 12/2

Last week we used the 12 1.5 for a couple days. Drying was an issue on one job but it sure was faster and easier.
Switched back to the 14 2 and it was amazing how much drier it leaves the carpet.

The 14/2 auction coming soon?
'67 Caddies fetch a good coin.

So how long did the carpets take to dry with the 12 compared to the 14? How did you do the testing?

OK so I got a question that (may) be pertinent here

Got an old Prochem 3 jet 1.5" tube 6 flow wand - no glide and slots are close to each other so it gives off this high pitched whine.

Also have a Prochem Quad 4 jet 2" tube 8 flow wand (hate 1.5 jets that clog) - no glides and the slots are wide apart so you don't hear that vacuum whoosh

both are about 11" wide

Assuming I am using the same TM and cleaning/dry strokes, which will produce the best cleaning results and fastest drying times?

Also I have been using the 3 jet 6 flow like forever because it is so light so if I switch to the Quad at 8 flow would I notice much difference in water usage?

25% more water usage, some offset by potentially better extraction with the 2 inch wand.
