PMF Mach12 Titanium wand loaner program

[Nate The Great]

Hey who put "The thread Snatcher" on me?

Fookers!

Better than snatch snatcher......

 

[Desk Jockey]

No I'd prefer that title.

 

[hogjowl]

Another perfectly good thread screwed.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I see my work is done here! Off to other threads I go!!!

 

[Able 1]

Is the manifold threaded for the bolt or is there a nut in the inlet?

?

 

[Able 1]

Another perfectly good thread screwed.

Kind of what I'm wondering?

 

[Scott S.]

have you tried a well tuned Devpro?

when are they going to go on a road trip like this one.

can we get the mach 15 on a road trip also?

 

[mirf]

is it my turn yet!

Glide update.

PMF has discontinued their two piece glides due to very high manufacturing costs.


the Mach 12 and 15 will have a press fit round glides. Which according to my pal there, will not leak or shift side to side.

So they build something and promote how great the two piece design is and easy to change then they want to save 12.00 dollars. Dumb move PMF.

 

[Nate The Great]

If it's anything like that pos pmf802 black glide, I'd pass on it... Thing would snag on stuff..

 

[Mikey P]

Way more than $12.


Waaaaay.

Its the same glide that will be going on the Sapphire wand

Derek (D Luke) is getting one the same time as Pemberton.

If he passes on it, we will send it to Canadian Russ next..

Hey....I'm way up there on the map

Noooooooooo...........Hopefully they won't screw up a good wand.

 

[hogjowl]

Probably will overspray now.
Just my luck.

Any idea if it has to have perpendicular support ribs like GG now?

 

[mirf]

So are the recalling the wand out there now.

 

[Mikey P]

no, one went out with the two piece flat glide, not sure about the one headed to Pemberton

I haven't seen it yet. My guess it will show up for testing when I'm having "Saiger weather" here and I'll be eating all of my happy talk about how much I love the winter while I drag hoses through ice and snow to actually have to clean carpet instead of just teaching it and talking about it.

 

[hogjowl]

Dang ... Jim sure is pissy today.

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Dang ... Jim sure is pissy today.

LOL....imagine what my poor employees and family are enduring.....

OK, here's the story Marty:

Over 40 years ago I was hauling urine soaked oriental rugs out of houses to our plant, cleaning carpet with a noisy, smoke belching, Prochem 400, and dry cleaning upholstery with 1,1,1, thrichloroethane. In the midst of deciding which stink bothered me the most in any given day, I made myself a solemn vow:

"When I get out of school, I'll never clean carpet or upholstery for a living again, and never be any part of the cleaning business"

I only kept 1/2 of that promise, and on those days I have to go back on even that one, I remember not only how hard it was then, but how hard it is for all of you who do this day in day out, even with glides, rotary extractors, Zippers, etc.

You all have my deepest respect for how hard you work, especially those of you on my side of 50.

So if this new wand makes it easier for me, it surely should for those of you that really have to work hard at it day in and day out, not someone like me who only cleans for friends, family, and my rental properties.

 

[hogjowl]

Will quit screwing around with it and get out to us where we can decide if it's any count.

Once I get it, I will.

Seriously Marty (and others), even though you'll be getting it to use yourself, what do you want me to look for in its use?

I know overspray is an issue you and I have discussed.

Other thoughts?

 

[hogjowl]

How low does the pressure have to go before it will dry a carpet in 3 hours or under?

How does it clean at that pressure?

 

[hogjowl]

Are the jets so close to the carpet that streaking occurs?
Does the barrel cause the two inside jets to clean unevenly in the center?

Have you looked at any pictures of the totally adjustable manifold? Neither concern should be an issue.

This time of year in our climate that won't be hard to do at the usual pressure I use (400 PSI) with my SS 570. I usually have a couple of airpaths following me from room to room. That's not a good duplicate of Alabama humidity in the summertime. The use of a 1.5" whip hose will be new to the equation though.

I'll be cleaning cut pile carpet that tends to show streaking when those issues are present.

Does this wand have a "totally adjustable manifold"?
