Its a heck of alot of water to put down unless it is a solvent based protector.

A solvent based protector does not get mixed with water? |

Steamer I have never heard of a protectant that only can cover 200 sq feet. The protecant we sell covers 1200 sq ft. Unless you meant 2,000 and if you did the customer is being ripped off.

The gallon your purchase has to be diluted 8to1 wet or 4to1 dry and this will cover 1200sq ft. The dilution rate could be vis versa, I get mixed up on that.

Steamer this is concentrated and if you perpare the gallon with the required dilution, yes it will cover 1200sq ft. |

You have to be doing something wrong Steamer. To spray you use an even flow with no overlapping and this should cover 1200. What do you use a pump up sprayer or your hydro force?

I think I can speak for most majfacturers. The 1200 sq. ft refers to the gallon of concentrate. The reason that you mix it 4 -1 is that the water serves as the carrying agent for the fluorochemical to find itself to all parts of the fiber. Over the years, I have heard many say that they think this is too much water. The real key to product performance is to get 1200 sq. ft per gallon of concentrate. Mix it at whatever level you feel comfortable. 1 -1, 6 - 1 or 12 -1. Just make sure that each gallon covers 1200 sq. ft. At this level the customer is getting what they paid for and a properly formulated product will perform properly |

Steamer: We apply with a Hydro force with the right tip no mixing? For water base. We do NOT use solvent protector for carpets?????????
