Ok. The 2 jets deliver more heat to the carpet due to the larger dropet size of the spray pattern. They are also very inexpensive wands compared to the 4 jetters. Expect to pay $300 to $400 for a good wand. The 4 jet wand is usually more heavy duty like like the Prochem Quadjet and will last longer, but expect to pay $500 to $600 for one of these. The water will cool more than it would from a 2 jet wand because of the finer jets used with causes faster cooldown from the aeration of the spray once it leave the jets.

more jets and larger jets equals more pressure drop when you pull the trigger.

I guess if your machine cannot handle a 4 jet a 2 jet will have to do then? I had a 2 jet stair tool at one time. I think it came from Pro Chem.

In the real world you should have a couple of wands so you can match the cleaning action to the soiling conditions you are dealing with, the other option is to have different size jets available and change them according to soiling conditions

Has anyone tried the Sonic type wand seen in trade magazines that forces the water out in pulsations?
If this works as well as it sounds it should save a few backs while cleaning better.
Any comments?
