@Mikey P I have a big Is commercial job tonight that I haven't cleaned in a few years. It'll have a long hose run of about 250 ft. im using the 370SS.
if needed, Should I use the 14" zipper or the
360BH? im worried about not enough suck at the wand head for these tools.
might go with 16inch EVO TM wand, but worried about my arms tiring out.

Mine too! But, I’d hate to pick it up and throw it in the back. Plus, you’re gonna get in TROUBLE from you know who for you know whaaat!!

Papa John, Zipper all day! If your too concerned, drop blowers if you need to.

Run it 4 to the door. Big difference. At least the first 50 feet from the truck. 100 if you have enough hose.

I forgot i have a vac booster-- ill just use that instead-- damn to much equipment to haul up some stairs by myself.--i think the elevator is too far to bother with.
I stopped using it. With extreme prespray and crb, why bother with rotary?

Less is more..
In that situation you want to smallest headed wand you have..
Devastator or SSTI?

Or even better, an OP machine

That’s less, but better.

Too much area to cover for a small wand head.
I used the 16-inch EVO TM wand for the win. This wand removes water faster than the dev wand. the hose run was 220ft
They tried the OP guy once-- they came back to me for HWE.
IMO-- even the popular yet pathetic "shark-toothed" wand technique will remove more soil than an OP machine.
But I was impressed with how the TOPS machine vibrated the whole church floor when used at MikeyFest.-
Impressive power-- just not conducive to my business model

They were disappointed with the operator, not the method.

I think rotary is great for residential but commercial honestly should be simple enough by now use
code red a big truckmount and a zipper why complicate it ?

I use it occasionally on commercial. Today was one of those days. Small office in an Auto Parts Store. Carpet squares, so I always hold my breath when cleaning it for fear I’ll catch an edge of a square.
Previous cleaning of it have always transformed it back to new like conditions. I’ve always been amazed at how long it takes for the site tube to stop showing soil. Today was finally the day when it started happening. So, I had to stop and finish with the wand. It didn’t look nearly as good this time.

You're a bit too stuck on this corn rowing thing. If you read the latest IICRC study they do not know what causes it. It's all speculation. As for CRB's causing it, I call bull crap. I cleaned thousands of homes using my CRB with soft brushes and have not had 1 issue. The times I have seen it happen, it was preexisting.
