Hos Orbot Spray Jets - for Lower Flow? Help Please

[GregAllen]

My new (gently used) Hos Orbot goes through a lot of solution, and on the TMF Facebook page, some suggested using smaller jets. I need help determining exactly which jets to get. "Teejet," "veejet," etc... Interlink's catalog just shows these two options, but the jets on the machine are "unijet" 6502.

I can't find anything in Hos's website regarding replacement jets that use less solution. If you have changed to smaller jets on this machine for the same reason, and if was successful for you, can you please recommend which specific jets I should order, and from where I can get them? I appreciate it very much. Thanks!

Teejet First numbers are degree or angle of spray 65. Last two numbers are flow 02. Can try 65015? That would be 1 1/2 flow.

Honestly though 02 seems right.

Thank you for such a clear and succinct response. Perhaps these jets are worn out. I will call HOS tomorrow for possible replacements.

Good point. Didnt think of them corroding and opening up. That'll do it. Maybe ask if they got them in stainless. Will hold up longer.

Will do. Thank you.

Also if you have an in line ball valve, you can close it off a little to limit how much solution comes thru?

My Sprayborg had one and I'd cut back on the juice on cleaner jobs.

I tried that but it didn't work at all. Need to still be about 90% open and only slowed the flow a fraction. Still used a gallon in 1 minute 49 seconds. Any further partially closed and it just spit uneven streams of water.

The RV 360i works fine when we put the valve at ½ way, but for some reason the Orbot just doesn't respond the same way.

Yes the Orbot is more touchy but it will cut down on the solution.

My Mytee uses a ton of solution but I actually like using more solution.

Under average use, those brass jets should be changed every 6 months. With heavy use or extra hard water, they may need to be changed more often. Otherwise they dispense too much juice.
