Hi guys,
I'm continuing here from a different thread because something came up there that makes me wonder if the wand I'm using is OK.
It came with the truck I bought from DA Burns. Which is a 1999 Hydramaster CDS 3.8. No Salsa pack on the heat exchanger but I put in a different thermostat so the truck puts out 215 degrees at the machine.
So I had a wick back problem (I might not have gotten the pad dry enough) and someone suggested that my wand might be partly to blame. This is the only wand I have ever used so I have nothing to compare it to.
I bought a glide from Greenie ( slots and holes) and the jets have been replaced is says 1/4W 8003 on them.The tube is 1 1/2"
The glide is of course very nice but if it interferes with getting the carpet dry enough I'm willing to give it up.
I was told that considering the limitations of my machine a 2" wand might be too much and that there is not enough heat produced for 4 jets.
So here are pictures of the wand head and I'd like to know if it is a POS or if it is good enough for my setup.

I know all about bass guitars and how to modify and play them but Wands ... not so much!
Can you enlighten me?
I just took the glide off for a job I have tomorrow to see if I can get better results without it.
