They do look too far apart even for 110 angles.

We like the 12" x 1.675" CMP wand which is similar to the 14" you showed with angled jets:



There is also a new 12" Titanium w/2jets,
and of course, the 12" Bentley with carbon-fiber tube.

The 12" Bentley look to have a well-designed chamber above the lips.

Larry

thatis the same wand i have, with that plate.

Locko;

I had a customer in today purchasing a TM and wanting to test some different wands.

First we tested a 14" CMP with angled-jets, 08 total jet size, teflon glide (similar to a popular 5-jet CMP) .

It did a very good job with no prespray and only hot water coming from the TM.

Next, we tried a glided 14" Carbon-Fiber Bentley with swivel. It had an 08 total jet size with the new adjustable jet system.

It had the new jet system, & was set at about the same angle as the CMP jets.


After switching back and forth several times, the Bentley looked like it was cleaning better and the carpet looked brighter.

After a through test today, I think the upcoming 12" Bentley carbon-fiber will be a wand up to all challengers.

Do you know of an approximate release date Larry?

LArry, it was a perfect opportunity to do a video!

That is the ugliest manifold I have ever seen. Looks like something a kid put together with fittings from a plumbing store.

That looks with many parts! unnecessary.

We are talking about BEST performance here.

John @ Mytee has promised a manufactured replacement, but it has not arrived yet.



Larry

Well maybe John could send us one to test. Be glad to see how it stacks up and we would post a video review also. However, so far I trust Jaime over you guys because he uses them on a daily basis and you guys are salesmen. No offence but they are in the trench's cleaning while you sit in an office.

Rob

Yep, I will test it, against others on the market, and we can see if that wand can reach the top 3.

Can the 0530 be purchased with a glide?

Would the 0530 be the best wand for the Amtex Prowler machine that is on its way to me as we speak? It has a 24 blower.

I tested the aw29, the cmp and the 0530, and the air velocity was higher with the 0530.
I reached with the 0530 with the recoil and 1.5 hose 703 feet per minute.

I bought one 2 inch SS wand and I wasn’t happy with the grip on that wand, get ones hand to tired, so I went back to my 1,5 in wand 2 jets (AW29),looks like the West pack would be a better choice for me if I continue to use a 1,5 inch wand . But I cant ignore that the Bentley has a 2 inch pipe al the way to the head of wand. don’t you guys think this will increase the air flow drastically?

Jeremias;

I think you are on the right track with the 2" tube.

The head design is actually the most important factor.

I have a 12" Bentley on the way from Mytee.

We will see if the performance increase is "what I expect" from the similar 14" performance.

Larry

P.S. Locko, what were the other "relative airflow" numbers for the CMP and AW29 ?

I have the video, I will check it

Post the videos locko.

I can't for now, why? I will be honest, i did something to a wand and by accident it was record, i don;t wantto say it is an invention, but might be and I don;t want other people take my ideas, and then take credits, and for now is working great so that is the reason.
i will shoot another video and i will post it.
