 Topic: psi chartPosted: 14/July/2005 at 1:27pm |

i was reading a post where somebody said dont use 500psi on a certain carpet and it got me thinking that all porty's should have regulators and gauges which many if not most do not. (ie. the 100/150/200 psi ports) also does anybody have a chart that tells you what psi to use on what fabric/carpet/scenerio etc...

porty's with 100-200 psi don't need regulators because it's really not even enough to thoroughly clean cut pile carpets
pretty sure they'll teach you what psi to use in a CC technician class through the IICRC
only need to know 2 different psi settings for carpet IMO and it's partially personal preference
My Powermatic has 2 settings for CCing,so it's pretty simple.........set it on low for low pile,set it on medium for cut pile or shag
200and 450psi is what I like |

well if you have 200 it might be good to cut back if you're ever doing cars and vans. i use 50-75psi to do the head liner on cars where it was a smokers car sold to a non-smoker. |

actually 250 - 450 is what I use.... actually 250 is good for alot of carpet...you just have to go a little slower is all... the carpet dries really quick...no glide needed |

HEAT , suction and flow are the big differences with a TM
Plus you can clean 100's of feet away from it
I use a terry towel and prespray for roof liners in cars.......makes me feel like Padman
but it works with no fear of damage |

I wonder how 500psi porties keep water in the tank without auto fill or any heat at all. I use 350 working pressure with the wand & the RX, 200 with the RotoVac. In an IICRC class I was told 400psi is the maximum you should use. Edited by Advantage |
