Hey Guys i always here about people using a hydro force to pretreat while another guy is cleaning.  Hydro force even sells a tee for the supply line.  How does this work?  I there a way to get just water to the hydroforce, while the wand gets the acid rinse?  Do any of you guys leave the rinse on while pretreating? Thanks, Anthony

With the metering on the HF every little rinse actually goes threw the HF as the volume of water is much less than what a wand would use.
Just My opinion

I don't know if it's a good idea to T off the pressure line. I would imagine you want to give your pretreatment time to dwell. It takes me about 10 minutes to pretreat a house so when I'm done pretreating the  first area has been dwelling for a good 10 minutes.

Just my opinion though. But I will say this, if you don't have a hydroforce GET ONE!

Anything to make the job easier!

Hey Atlantis,
  I totally agree about getting a hydra Force!  Normally I wouldnt want to tee off of the solution line, But occasionaly I'll have a big commercial job thats too large to pretreat the whole area (it'll be dry by the time i get to it) so i figured that i could have someone pretreating ahead of me and time it just right.

It seems my hydroforce doesn't work once the lines get hot.  Maybe just me but it seem to work alot better with cold water.  I usually prespray the entire areas to be cleaned.
