Today I cleaned around 1500 sq ft of carpet with my 6 jet, 9 flow at 600psi and used around 55 gal. Of water. Is this close to the amount of water you guys are using?
How much water are you using?

Fresh tank measurement I take it.
Sounds about right
30 GALS per 1000 ft of resi is my norm

Yes, I just started using a tank.

You are using about 22% more water than the guru in an area that's almost 50% higher in humidity than his??? I'd be reducing my jet size and turning down my pressure a lot.

You would notice those things if you use 50%

I usually run about 400 psi but this particular job needed all the love it could get.
I usually wait until the end of the day to flush to conserve water.
Is that what you mean?

Pretty dirty. They had pets but no urine issues. It was empty, so I was done 3 hours. Prevac, pretreat, scrub with 175, HWE.
Id probably be at about 85-95 gallons at 400 psi and 6 flo - same proceedure except with a CRB. Maybe Im doing something wrong.

What machine are you running? This was wide open areas with no furniture. There was no idle time so the machine never bypassed water.
Hydramaster 575. Doesnt bypass
On heavy soil I usually make two rinse passes so that is probably the difference.

I use 3 jet at 09 flow. That is close to what I use. If trashed above medium I better have the water hose hooked up.
