My understanding on wand production is that 1500 sq.ft.an hr. under optimal conditions can be expected from a wand.
That is probably a reasonable avg. So why the conflict? I must have missed something.

Each person running a wand can easily clean moderately soiled commercial carpet at a pace of 1200 plus sq ft an hour and frankly that is low. This is why the vast majority of commercial carpet in large facilities is cleaned well under .10 a ft. Like Richard said the number starts higher in the early hours and will naturally drop as 6,8,10 hours .
10 hrs. x 2 wands = 40000 sq. ft.
I too find it difficult to see how a mistake of that magnitude could be made unless it was some admin stuff up when transposing or calculating the numbers.
I would have walked in this situation for sure given their inability to take responsibility for their own error. Obviously you can't blame him for asking the question but once you said no, he should have got real and taken it on the chin. In most cases whether it's a customer or brother-in-law they will always treat you with less respect in the future. People who are hard asses only respect strength IMO So I think good on you, I can't imagine it was an easy decision to make with family involved.
It does beg the question why he refused to consider Encap given his circumstance. That raised a few questions in my mind.
The only reason you see me as knocking HWE is because when i bring to light the problems associated with HWE in debate on this bb no body wants to address it or aknowledge it and then it always turns into a method pissing match. Seems the only way a non HWE extraction user can have a civil debate on this board is to just agree that HWE is all good which is
Dude are you going to make me go through the problems associated with foam cleaning??? cuz like i said I use to do it...and we made up all the good excuses as well...

just agree to disagree...and understand yours has quiet a few issues/limitations as well...
NO ONES method is the end all be all....
and yet you imply that, here and on your website....
did you not take marketing 101....
never attack your competitor....only show why your different...
You should go stick your head back up your ASZ where it came from.
I tried selling them on encap/padcap but they want the truckmount cleaning.
This was part of the problem.
You can setup and do the entry ways or major high traffic areas w/ hwe and do the rest w/ encap, and no one would bitch about it. When you start to sell anything (since we are not lawyers and doctors) they always w/ what "they" know "best or only" know aka hwe. Esp @ .06-.10 sqft.
