    SX-12 jet size

    I am considering reducing the size of jets on my SX-12. The Blazer will not keep up with the current size of jet on the unit now. Has anyone reduced the jet size? What was your results?

    Will your machine not keep up with the flow rate? If that is the case, you may have old and worn jets that are too large. These need to be replaced evry 18 months or so, depending upon useage and how hard your water supply is.

    Smaller than the standard jets will not have enough force to spin the arm and clean thoroughly.

    I was concerned with the heat, water flow is no problem. I wasn't sure about the spinning action. I ran it about 850 the other day and it worked nice except for the heat.

    your machine will spin the SX with no problem but it the heat will never keep up using that much water. I wouldn't recommend changing the jets.

    If it helps, I usually don't use heat when I clean tile.

    When cleaning ceramic tile, heat is nice to have but not nearly as important as the chemistry, water flow and water pressure.
