*Cough* - *Sneeze* update...

Well, as you may know I have had a terrible time with releasit making me cough and sneeze. So much so, that I was almost ready to give up on it, despite having great results. I was using a rotary with fiberplus pads, and a spray tank and wand. Problem was that when I sprayed it down, it became airborne, hence, the massive cough & sneeze attacks.

Some suggested a more course tip...tried it, no good...some suggested a fine tip...tried it, no good...finally decided to take Rick's and others advice and buy a tank & shower feed setup. BINGO !!!!

We cleaned a 3000 ft² youth section of a church today, and NOT A SINGLE SNEEZE OR COUGH !!! Not only that, when spraying the releasit down, I was getting about 150 ft²/gal. (yes, I know, too much chemical) but today, using the tank & shower feed setup, we only used 7 RTU gallons of Releasit !! WooHoo !!! Can you say...PROFITABLE !!!

Anyway, thanks to Rick and everyone that tried helping with my cough, sneeze problem and thanks for the solution.

I would say to anyone that is using a sprayer, to dump it immediately and get a shower feed setup ASAP...there is no comparison !!

1 step closer to my Cimex purchase.

Shower feed

Hi Ken, that's good news. Where did you get the shower feed attachment? Does it mount on your machine? Can you give more mechanical details because I would like to find a mount for my rotary if one is available.

thanks,
Brian

Brian,

The above is the exact setup and same person I got it from. It's a universal setup and should fit any rotary with a round handle.

If you'd like to be 100% sure if it will fit your machine, call the guy, his number is on the auction (thats what I did) and tell him what brand machine you have and he'll tell you whether it'll fit. Should be fine though.

Take care,
KC

i thought i recall seeing an assembly for a shower feed on the powr-flite site....i may be wrong but check it out.

pump-up sprayer is for the birds, if you can afford a showerfeed system then try it!

thanx --- Derek.

I normally use my shower feed on my Chemstractor but there are a few jobs that must be sprayed, because of the close proximity of valuable furniture that I don't want the spatters getting on from shower feeding.

Using my electric sprayer, and a size 06 jet- which is pretty big, the amount of Releasit going into the air is pretty small, and the cough/sneeze factor is minimized. But it did happen a few days back, even so.

And another factor I saw was the total amount of Ready-to-Use was a lot more than when using the shower feed. Hmmm.
