But in a board Far far away that was once a topic of endless ( and pointless) discussion.

But remember, there are those here that did not live in those days of yore when there was an adminstrator who made himself an easy target for good natured (and not so good natured) abuse, and there were more than a few very unusual characters on the loose.

So for those who have more recently entered the industry, its right to give them a direct answer.

Just imagine if Fred C had run that board instead of the individual that did?

Butler's original metering is only for liquid based detergents and is designed for much finer (size wise) liquid.
I had it removed and have the GPH one installed which allows me to use powder based detergent without issues.

Yes. Butler's metering system is less, shall we call it "refined". It works but is not as accurate. In my set up it seems to draw a lot more than my previous CDS or Pro- 1200. I just dilute it a lot more and understand that it is not a fine instrument.

We (Butlerites) always go for beauty over substance. Every single time. That's how we know that we belong here. :winky:

For the saiger rinse would it effect the prespray if I have it running through the line to the hydroforce sprayer? Like would it neutralize the prespray before it hits the carpet? Just curious
Not enough to run out to the van each time....we keep it on except with using our P-Lime-Zyme...Then shut it off while applying and turn back on to clean

How easy was it to make the switch?

I didn't do it. When I bought the machine they asked me what kind of detergents I use (powder mostly). It's just replacing the mechanism from a needle point style to the other. It took them 10 minutes.

They didn't give us a choice they said to have fewer problems use liquid.

.....and preferably Butler's chems, right?

I am afraid it's too late for you to learn in this stage of your life cycle, grasshopper.
No worries though- next life time :winky:

Yes their chems. Which is a Chempec knock off, so not bad stuff.

I think crazy George may be able to help you after all.

Ask for the total make over special.

I think his girlfriend has a better chance of keeping my attention. Plus her seminar was cheaper! 😁
