 Topic: flow ratePosted: 25/March/2005 at 11:26pm |

I am quite new to cc. I want to move to TM .I notice the pump of TM is 3 to 5 GMP, much higher than a portable one. If I really use 3GMP,350psi, with roots 36 blower, does this cause overwet? How much flow rate do you guys usually use?
Two steps, pre-spray and rinse with detergent, leaves chemical, detergent, in the carpet. Is this all right? |

over wetting all depends on what your lift is set at..... I pre spray with detergent and rinse with water or Ph balancing rinse... helps to eliminate carpet residue |

sounds good to me.... you should be getting dry times of 2 to 5 hours... if your running at 350 psi

cleaning temp also plays a factor... what temp are you running at??? you might want to get a glide... I don't use one personally but people here swear by them

I run at 425 psi and heat on high what ever that is on a 405? Have a glide??? Haven't put Lisa's glide on yet but it is certainly a fine looking piece of work. Over wetting??? If you are it is probably from lack of experience and proper training. Old rule of thumg 2 extraction passes fro every cleaning pass should help get you on the way. maybe more extractiion passes depending on how slow your cleaning passes are. different strokes for different folks. I better quit and let the more educated and experienced handle this one.

ysc5, after the first dry stroke, about 1hr quicker drying of carpet for every extra dry stroke. Upholstery dry stroke till it's near dry. |

Are you using 2" all the way to the wand or 1 1/2" to the wand with a 1 1/2" wand?

Steamer, you said you don't use a glide personally. Have you had a
chance to try them? I had a chance to use one from Lisa today for the first time and This old Dog (going on 24 years with the wand) learned a new trick today. I cleaned from 9 to 2:30 with a standard two jet wand with a glide. At 10:30 I went back to the starting point and I could not believe that it was 99.99% Dry. I have never seen anything like this. I am going to be testing it out on other types of carpets next week but. I am the type that has to hear it or do it several times before i am a true believer so the testing will go on. But , MY First impression is " WHy didn't I think of this" . |
