Options for the Chosen Wand?

[Bryce C]

I adjusted the spray bar to where it is now hitting right behind the glide. It was spraying way further back behind the glide, impacting the carpet at bad angle and with more force I imagine. Now that I adjusted it I can barely see the streaks on my wet pass and then they quickly and easily disappear on my dry passes before I even groom.

Thanks for the lesson guys. Makes sense, now I know something else to watch for. I don't think I ever adjusted that spray bar before. Maybe it just slowly moved over time, not sure..

As a reminder when I sold it to you I told you had to move it up a quarter inch so that the the fan spray would extend all the way to the edge of the Glide..

Did that happen today?

Interesting, I don't remember that, but makes sense. Yes it did happen today. I'm an amateur and an idiot. Thanks Mike.

Interesting I only have seen the streaking phenomenon once in a while, and more so recently. I'll pay much closer attention in the future. Jets, angles, distance, gpm, all of it means so much more than I thought!

Now that you're consumed with jet placement, try and observe a change in sheer angle from that 1/4" lift.

I can't imagine it making any difference.

That wand is poorly designed in that regard, and "my" lift element isn't going to effect that.

But it will keep you from leaving pre-spray and soil and a half inch along the baseboards from now on...



The Chosen is MUCH better designed in regards to sheer angle ...

Honestly Bryce, IMHO, that wand design sucks, no pun intended. I know you don't want to hear this, but I'd ditch it first chance and quit
worrying about all that. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Single jet wands leave a lot of carpets looking better. The jets far enough away to not cause distortion or overwet.

I might start using mine more often now lol. My cheapy 2 jet is just so much easier to use and go faster with.
