Spinner blues

[Louis]

So my spinner does not spin like it used to. Going a little slower and making some noise. Gave it a shot of wd 40 and it works but it does not do it on dirty grout.

My spinner is a very old redline that's like a wand. A real back breaker. Not sure if it is worth putting a $200 swivel on there. I'm thinking about buying a $200 tile wand since I use my prochem Ti wand for most of the tile cleaning. I like the spinner to rinse the tile. Anyone use the cheap tile wands.

Thanks

Dude. Buy a new turbo hybrid and pay it off in 4 or 5 little jobs. It will last a decade. The gecko is ok. I wouldn't spend a penny on anything though till I had a Hybrid. I bought a couple junky tile wands. They just work ok. Decent for detailing.

agree...you can get the turbo and leave the Ti in the truck...your production will increase and pay the thing off in no time......

DO NOT buy one off Craigslist.........

I wouldn't want to do tile without a spinner tool.

What pressure do you run your spinner at and who makes the turbo? My spinner always sucked on dirty grout always on my knees with a hand tool cleaning all the grout. Getting too old to do that.

800 to a thousand psi.

I have never ran mine over 850/900 psi....

its all in the chemical.........

I have run cold water at that psi. LG3 only lets me go to 600.

So what is the difference between the sx15 and the turbo?

SX is to tall to get under toe kicks....
not built as good as the turbo...


aside from that ..it spins and cleans tile....

 

[Mark Saiger]

Like they said....get the Turbo Force

You will not regret it!

Best Spinner out there!

 

[frresh1]

did you clean out the strainer that is inline with the quick connect?

Jim can you meet the guy at the gas station on the highway and get this guy some turbo tools or what?

Good grief. Don't get Oldsin going again, please.

There is a magic that happens under a Spinner (SX or Turbo Hybrid) that will not and can not happen under a hard surface or carpet wand.

The spinner tool melt out dirt from deep within grout and stone.

a wand of any sort can not do that.

So why does the mytee spinner not clean as well as the others? Even when I ran the mytee at 900 with my old machine it never cleaned the grout well. Is the missing link the zep stripper ?

 

[Mikey P]

So why does the mytee spinner not clean as well as the others?

Because you're a MB'r.

If you were a ***'r it would out clean all the others.

Nothing lasts forever, its time for a replacement.

Never a good idea to make a broke dck move and go cheap, then you end up back here complaining about it. Turbo hybrid is a great tool that last a very long time, easy decision.

I have no problems with my SX-15 getting under toe kicks.

prespray with flex-citrus boosted with peroxide followed by Whitteaker blast at 1100 psi and collect money. I don't like products that might hurt the carpet if it accidentally passes a door.

So I did it. I bought the turbo force spinner. The angle on the jets point down unlike the old red line spinner. They barley hit the floor. Looking forward to using it. Next Saturday I have 1900 sf of tile to clean. I hope this makes it go fast. I'm tired of crawling on my knees going over every grout line. Too old for that anymore.

Now I just need to figure out the magic chemistry to melt the grime away. Everyone here waits till it's black to clean.

 

[Cleantechsk]

awesome!

did you go 12 or 15"?

best thing I did with mine was swap to 0502 jets!

 

[Louis]

I got the 12inch. It has 0502 jets on it

So how did you like the hybrid?
Also try it on gym floors. The interlocking mats. I clean a couple gyms an they love it. Sell em in sanitizing and charge more than t and g.
