isn't arm & hammer a good defoamer?  baking soda seems like a cheap enough one.

And if he is cleaning with Ecogent, I think it is commonly known this is a high foaming cleaner.


Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Gentlemen;
 
I thought i would post a most recent e-mail received via this great board, from Laserman in regards to the situation he was having and the solution to his foaming problem.  So, sorry Ken for your blindsided slap.

Ed,
 
You remember the extra lid you sent me for my foaming problem?  I had not tried it till 2 weeks ago.  I don't understand how a little hole  in the lid can solve this problem but it did.  Now the machine works just fine.  Thanks.

One more thing. I haven't seen the inside of a Recoil, but I have a problem with Mytee machines that sounds like the problem you have having. In the bigger Mytee machines, there a rubber thing just inside the tank where the water comes in. It is supposed to direct water downward, but it tends to get turned once in a while and gets directed at the ball valve. When this happens, the incoming water forces the ball downward while going directly into the vac pipe (yikes!).  I've walked into rooms that my guys are cleaing and seen pools of water 4 feet wide!
 
So you may want to check other things that might have gotten moved around. 


Mr. Hammer, you have just solved a huge problem I had with a Mytee 1001DX I rented last week.

Unfortunately, I had already cleaned two rooms and didn't know it had been puking return water out of the one vacuum exhaust until I had the unit parked on a wood floor and saw the puddle. The previous two rooms had been soaked through to the pad, of course. I pulled up the carpet and had to put two area blowers on it to dry it. Luckily, this was on my own house, as I'm still way too much of a newb to clean anyone elses carpet (even for free).

I had absolutely no idea why I kept getting water out of that darn vacuum exhaust. I must have looked in that return tank a hundred times and couldn't find anything wrong. However, I now realize that the tank inlet you refer to was pointing directly at the ball valve.

I had my mind set on buying a Mytee 1000 series or M5 machine until I had this experience. Now that that riddle is solved, I'll consider putting the Mytee machines back in the list of contenders.

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE thank you for this!!!!
