Ok, ok... I’m an Idiot...

[Sierra Clean Care]

I love having 250’ of live solution line. Today, almost 9 months to the day, it blew again....
I now realize, peeling off only as much as I need, (average 125’), but, because of heat, the last 75’ gets COOKED every time...
My next solution line is going to be 175’.
Then carry extra...
Idiot....

110

That’s why I decided not to have a live solution line.

 

[Desk Jockey]

We did 125 and carry 3-more 50's on the truck. We only carried more if we knew we had a commercial job.

The 125 worked for 80% of the homes here.

That's why I coil and hang my pressure hoses. First hose is 125 feet. Then I have a Fifty and another 100. More in the shop if I need it.

You're an Idiot, but for the wrong reasons you thing you are. This thread should have been posted in the "Hardware" room, not the carpet cleaning room. Now please look in the mirror and say 24 Hail Mary's.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Mary"s or Marty's? I mean we are talking idiot.

250’ of live solution line....

jhc


you just moved to head of the dipshit line


Cleanworks will be relieved


PS ... deciding on a 175’ live line doesn’t lose you place in line

I don’t do section 8’s.... if that helps....
Yeah, weekly, I run 225-250’ residential.... I work between 5-7 days a week.... I had a reason....

All of my solution lines are 50' and never have any issues

Makes for more work connecting all your hoses together. Costs more for qd's and shut off valves.

Who ARE you?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Who ARE you?

Sir that seems to be a question asked by many now days. I often ask it of myself "Who am I?". N

I am not who I aspire to be but I'm much more than I began as.

 

[Nomad74]

Thats Meg

Aww Shawn! ☹

And when I do big commercial jobs 450-500’, I would have NINE or TEN FRICKIN HOSES????
Uh, no thanks....

Like the rest of the civilized world.

 

[hogjowl]

I remember 32 years ago, when I started, having 50’ solution lines. Back when couplers snagged and thunked into and over everything in their path. Thankfully, some of us have evolved over time.

 

[Nomad74]

Yup

Thank you Marty.... EXACTLY my point...
Why would I want to add more steel inside someone’s home?

I can picture it. Dragging hoses over the furniture, under the dog bed, through the shrubbery...

Um, not quite.... not my style. We try very hard to be VERY professional on every contract we do. In high end homes I use thermoplastic hose as to not create tattoos on carpeting....
We have a dress code, and show up with a clean van, clean equipment, and minty fresh breath...

 

[hogjowl]

Just showing up on time puts you at a competitive advantage.
Carpet cleaners (and people in general) are a pretty sorry lot.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

I carry 3 x 100' hand-held reels on each truck.

Never DRAG hoses anywhere. Go to the far point and spool the hose back to the machine.

 

[hogjowl]

I understand your reasoning, but I’m not hand rolling 100’ of hose.

 

[Cleanworks]

It's pretty easy. I do 125 several times a day.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

It's on a spool, easy to crank it on.

I hate having to have a PILE of hose behind the truck waiting for the reel.
