Defoamer should be used as an insurance policy. Just in case foam gets into the system without your knowledge  it can damage and shorten the life of vacuum motors.

Adding defoamer when you see foam is like closing the barn door after the horse gets out. Even if you use foamless products you still have to worry about what the last guy left behind.

P.S.
Remember whatever you add to your vac tank mists and comes out the exhaust in odor-form. Fleece also works but as said before don't use domestic products. They hired you because you know what they don't.

I havnt had much need for a defoamer, they all do pretty much the same job and like everything in CC there is a huge variant in prices.

If ever your caught and are in need of some defoamer while out doing a job, some light sewing machine oil will do the trick for you.

Well I've heard it all now Mick

Good to know. Some here might have used it instead on their fish and chips.
