HARD SURFACE WAND

[Jimmy L]

I have a older style tile wand GEKKO by hydroforce. Swivel head , S bend, trigger gun on top.

The spray jets are in the head. They block the vac opening so it gets plugged all the time.

It's too short for me , made for short mexicans or marties.

I HATE IT! IT'S A POS!

I want a straight tube with the jets not in the vac slot so the tube doesn't get plugged.

What are my options..............I don't want to pay $900 for it.

Im talking to a manufacturer about designing the Perfect Hard Surface wand..

Stupid question alert lol....
How do the jets being in the vac slot cause the tube to get plugged up? I just got that Westpac hard surface tool and I love it so far.
It extracts really well. One thing I'm unsure of though as this is my first hard surface wand.....what is the minimum pressure you should run it with?
If you are just doing a maintenance clean 400 PSI should be sufficient right?

Only prob I have with my Gekko is threads for jets in thin tube strip easily. I use it 10:01 over my Turbo Hybrid. Faster and more maneuverable.

That's the old style gekko. The new one has a split manifold. You just need to buy the head. It will fit your existing wand. My supplier replaced mine for free.

Curious why the Jimmy wants his wand tube straight

Threads started by Jimmy never end well.

Well a straight tube makes you stand straighter instead of bending down. You get longer strokes too and that goes for using a straight wand vs a S bend.

OMG! that gekko head is $240! Not sure it will fit the old style.

But I prefer the valve underneath like a carpet wand. Hate that gunjet on top.
