Who says Hole Glides cant suck up crud

[Mikey P]

This was in my drain filter today...

 

[Ron Lippold]

are you sure you pre vac

 

[Mikey P]

Dumped the full Sani after each job.



The power of the Vanifold.

 

[Ron Lippold]

I get alot of crap in my trap

 

[John Crystal]

What is the vanifold?

 

[vincent]

You're supposed to clean carpet not the driveway.

How does that paper get in there? I think someone takes the hose off the wand and sucks up crap. ARe you sure the vacuum cleaner is working??

 

[Mikey P]

That my friends, is the power of the Vortex.

 

[vincent]

That's a 200 gal waste tank right?

Just think I get half that much with a 120 waste tank.

Question though, are you sure you are leaving carpet there after cleaning. Thats alot of junk.

 

[Mikey P]

Have you parted your carpet fibers lately?

 

[vincent]

Nope, I'm anal but not that anal.

 

[Jimmy L]

You definitely are not a snobby high end cleaner but just a simple HACK like the rest of us?




So how many times did you have to punch the holes in your glide to get the crud out while you were using it?

 

[Mikey P]

Never James.


My finely tuned machine sucks the crud right through.

I use the hole glide, and my filters will get like that even when I pre-vac. I am using a dinosaur of a royal for a vac now. Rebuilt, and pretty fierce, but still no Sebo...

I do have to check my glide during a big job though, I take the cuff and suck the crud out that gets stuck in the middle.

When MicahR put my wand glide on he kinda pinched the metal wand lips together in the middle, so there is not enough clearance for the crap to go all the way through in the middle, just the sides...

"he kinda pinched the metal wand lips together in the middle"

It's not Micah, it's the wand Mfg.

If a glide pinches your wand lips, imagine what is happening under 14"hg!

It amazes me how many wand Mfgs don't support the center of the wand.

drill a small hole in the center on the back side, just drill one side not all the way through to the front lip , drop a small 10-32 bolt into it from the backside, 3/8" or 1/2" long will be plenty, hold a nut inside the vacuum slot and thread the bolt into it, and all the way through until the screw touched the other side. viola, you are now done.

Now the glide can only compress the lips so far, and will likely fit tighter and be less prone to a leak, and every so often you can still remove the glide, screw the bolt and clean it out easily, this is much easier than a welded in pin.

We make many glides now with a machined in "bump" in the center to help keep the center of the lips apart.

I know it's not Micah, I just love blaming him for stuff on the board, 'cause I get to see him in person too.

 

[Becker]

Anyone can pull the hose off the wand and suck crap up.
