I agree, fast dry times are great! And now with the amount of flow I see your running, I see the necessity for all the fans.
I also run a short 1.5" whip to tile and stair tools, but always 2" to wand.

What TM, or blower size you running?

Have you ever used a 1.75-2" tubed wand without the 1.5" whip hose?

If so, then I guess "I don't know"?  laughing

I usually use a 6 jet prochem ti wand or a quad jet prochem wand. with a 2 inch hose straight to the wand.

12 flow ti 6 flow quad. the fans cut the drying time in half.

on the rare occasion I use the 2 jet thats all I use is the cuff mishmash to a 2 inch hose.

Someone said earlier I don't like getting hit with the whip in the ankle. I use a whip for tile wands. 6 feet!



I have an airpath, 3 dripods, and 2 1600 cfm small snails. 1 to 2 hour drytimes priceless.  

I am not the smartest kid in the class, but it sure is nice to see that I have been using the same 2 wands and almost identical flow as you sir. There must be hope for me yet. sunny

I personally think the PC quad wand is the best berber wand out there.

No argument from me...love it on Berber, but I wonder if a VT12 wand would be even better??

I think the weight and smaller head create a better seal for better water recovery plus sticking with 6 flow flush good at 500 psi. A holed glide really dries fast to.

I've been running mine at 8 flow for the last year at 400 psi....seems to work well. I do kind of hate my slotted glide, however.

I've never used an all holed glide, only a hybrid holed/slotted.

Is the all holed that much better?

The holed dries a little better the slotted lifts pile better I've one back and forth with the flow 6 to 8 on the quad. in the winter usualy lower it.

I use the ti 90 percent of the time.
