If any of you have anything bad to say about Prochem..

I'm really glad I went with Prochem for my first machine. A good local distributor is what motivated my choice. I went with the Legend XL and I have to say that it's working out real nice. My customers are extremely pleased with the results.
Next time I'll upgrade to an Apex.
Their chemicals are unbelievable. Ultrapac is the best pre-spray i've used, and i've tried a few. Their spotters are excellent as well.

Prochem is alright... Shoot, they are almost as good as BridgePoint.
Seriously, there is some stuff you have to have in Prochem, some stuff you have to have in Hydramaster, but the bulk of what I buy is Bridgepoint.

Oh Scott that is one can of worms you really don't want to open. I don't think your bosses want you opening it either :shock: Now Prochem might want you to though

I guess I'll open it....
Loyalty only goes so far.....I for one wont buy chemicals that clean as well as the competition for double the price. Hence the reason I have transitioned away from Prochem and Bridgepoint chemicals. I'm not saying that the chemicals are bad but just over priced....as in too much water in the jugs.
And yeah I know that there are a lot of cleaners out there that don't know any better.....but it's only a matter of time before the transition happens with these other cleaners. I for one didn't know any better at first.....

Judson O2. You can mix it 1-2 oz per gallon vs their zone perfect at 4-6 oz per gallon :shock: and costs the same!!!!
Or how about cobb powermax powder. 6.5 lbs cost about 13-14 bucks in a bucket (18.95 if you buy tubs) and makes the same as 36 bucks worth of zone perfect. :shock:
Or is there some other product that bridgepoint sells that I'm supposed to compare it to?

Chems are like gas. I use what I want F the price. As prices go up so do mine.
How hard is that?
I can't wait for product to be shipped to me...no I don't plan ahead. lol
I like going to the supply store and getting what I need now.
This is America for chrimany's sake. :mrgreen:

My closest distributor is 200 miles away.....I keep enough supplies on hand to last me months as I have to order enough to get my stuff shipped free cause I'm a BDCC.

Sounds like the 405 is a good machine from the posts here. How hot does it get at 2 gallons per minute at the carpet wand interface with 100 foot of 3/8" hose and Ti wand at sea level starting with 50 degree water?

Well said Greenie.
And that's exactly the reasons why I'm not loyal to my local 200 miles away dealer.

wHILE READING that, I was hearing a short fat fiery hillbilly Preacher
Prochem??? I couldn't live without POWERBURST.
It is THE BEST pre-spray on the market today hands down.
Mixed at 3 heaping scoops pr gal, NOTHING will beat it in side by sides evaluations.
I wouldn't care if it was the most expensive chem on the market, we'd BUY IT.
If the EEEEEVVVVIIILLL supplier (to some of you) made it, I'd buy it from them
Just a short mention about JJ.
I like Les.
though I've never met him, I can tell he's "my kind of guy"
However, at 1-2 oz dilution some of yoiunz mention as being great... must be cleaning clean carpets.
Cause I sure wasn't impressed at 2oz.
and at 6oz, it couldn't knock out the current ChampEEn-O-DA-WOILD..........POWHA BUURST!

Yes powerburst is great for super filthy carpet. I agree 100% although bridgepoint makes a similar product called power break.
I personally don't use it cause it's hard on my respritory system. If I can't clean it with some powermax or boosted judson o2 I'm not sacrificing my lungs to get it clean. And so far I haven't found anything the two mention above PS's can't clean with aggitation, heat, and high flow, with an emulsifier boost. However I haven't cleaned any restauraunts with Powermax or Judson O2 as of yet. I have a tub of bridgepoint powerbreak left over from when I bought a case and it may be a year or two before it's gone now if it ever gets used.

I have never had a Prochem machine,but I think it was"what a nightmare trying to work on".I really am a fan of simplicity,and they are not the only over engineered machines out there,as for their "detergents",what I have used have worked fine.
