| 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. |
