PowerMax bubbling like crazy

[Giorgio]

Has anyone noticed their powermax foaming everywhere when warm water is added?

Either i received an unevenly mixed pail or Cobb has changed the formula.

It reacts better than OSR when hot water is added.

Now, i have to mix an entire days worth before the V heats up. Otherwise, i have a foamy mess on my hands the rest of the day.

Thats strange, I use to think Larry was BSing about it having SP in it due to lack of bubbling under heat.

I have no trouble mixing it with super hot water.
The hotter the better. If you are using a hydro force, don't fill it all the way.
And after you shake the jug let the pressure off and let it settle a moment before topping it off.
Once you learn how you won't make a mess.

just opened a new bucket the other day......did not notice any more foam then usual...it has always foamed a little...as far as cleaning...I don't think it is back to 100% like it use to be.... but it is close......

Those that use pm do you use an acid rinse or fwr?

 

[FLYERMAN]

Try an ounce of citri-solv type stuff and the bubbling will be a thing of the past.

when I rotary I use FWR.......

with the wand I use last step rinse which is on the acid side......

Larry must be sending the good Powermax to Zero Res


Whatever you do, don't try to boost PM with 40 vol!

Last time i did that most of the hydro-force was on the ceiling Ivebeensold

boosted PM with Grease Lightning today, and WOW! They way to go on poly and olifen.

It already HAS an oxidizer incorporated in the formula.

The Grease Lightning is just adding more powder prespray to the mix.

Heat does speed up the oxygen generation.

i used to boos with a touch of powerburst but as larry stated all you need to do is bump up
the mix a little..i never boos with anything anymore i just add a scoop for trashed places.
works like a charm

 

[dealtimeman]

How many scoops are y'all adding to a regular hydroforce?

 

[Giorgio]

I dumped the Hyrdoforce for the electric Multi-Sprayer.

Same dilution ratio i've been using for the past 3 years or so (about 8 oz per gallon i think).

Just too much alkaseltzer (or whatever) in this pail of Powermax. Doesn't even require hot water to foam over. Luke warm will do the trick...

I've got another 45lb pail sitting on the shelf. If it does the same thing I'll have to send it back. thathurts

 

[Jamesh921]

The only time I've experienced excessive foaming is when there is too much air in the water that I'm using to fill the jug.

How many scoops are y'all adding to a regular hydroforce?

6 scoops for carpet when metered @ 1:4 is what I add for normal cleaning. I adjust up or down depending on soil level.

For Ceramic tile cleaning I usually use around 10 scoops.

The great thing about Powermax (other than it's awesome cleaning power) is that you can go directly from carpet to tile cleaning without changing chemicals.
Gotta love that.

 

[floorguy]

scoops wtf you guys talking about??? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

get a wide mouf funnel, and a regular measuring cup that goes to 20-32 oz....

for MOST jobs....this means after you take over on commercial jobs, and they keep it clean...IE every month - 3 mths

2 oz a gallon works great...

8oz a gallon?? :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: ......fooook

i throw that much on jobs like this

AFTER

DURING :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

it was a bank owned home....and swear to god i was wondering why they were cleaning it....almost white...and i was just like wth....

well as you can tell in the after...it looks damn brand new....and yes i left it that way blowme blowme blowme blowme blowme

oh stairs....forgot after...they still had a touch of traffic area..but stains where gone
