Just bought a numatic 13" loline 332 rotary and there are two brushed available:



1 Nyloscrub

2 Polyscrub

Which would be the best choice for pre spray agitation?
Also i am looking for 15" bonnets for it

Cheers

Russ,

Twas I who mentioned the Loline to you, I think they're a decent machine?
I struggled to find 15“ microfibre pads, but got some online in the end at £15 a piece and they arrived next day.
I'm out now so haven't got the company name, but when I get home tonight ill post it on here.

Are you using a scrub brush too?

I've only tried it once on some commercial carpet tiles but wasn't overly impressed. It was suggested on here that a mf pad wouldve been better owing to the larger contact surface.

Just found it, killis.co.uk if you speak to them on the phone the guy is quite knowledgable and a decent guy to boot.

Just ordered the 15" standard bonnets and a 17" green scrub bonnet which has blue lines across it to aid agitation, will let you know how i get on!

The "Poly" will be better for most situations Russ, being the stiffer of the two.  The other one will be very soft so it won't get into any polyprop carpets, cut pile or low profile, it'll just skim the top of them which isn't really any good.

But why not get both?  They will last forever and a day, once you have them you have them!

The softer one will be excellent on wool & nylon, in the right situation.

When you get your brush(es) don't forget to run them in on a bit of concrete or paving slabs, stick some water down and just run the machine on it with the brush attached, I'd recommend at least 30 minutes.  Doing a few hard floor jobs with the brush first will have the same effect

I looked into getting 17" pads for mine (the 440 with 15“ drive board) and was told that while you can use them, the overhang would mean that they would chew through the pads in next to no time. Not sure how true that is though, I'm sure someone will be along with their experiences shortly

if the pads too big it will thourgh the soultion all over the place

Hey Jim

Yer i would get both but they are like £80 each so with business not exactly booming at the moment its gonna have to be just the one.. so you reckon the polyscrub?
I have only bought the machine as an agitator so the bonnets will be perfect on delicate wool carpets and maybe i should get the polyscrub for the synthetic carpets.

You are right... must bed those suckers in on concrete first!!!

By the way i tink i cracked the whole dilution thing... if you have email i will send you a PDF of a chart i made


Cheers 

[AshWhite]

Hey Russ,

I'd be interested to see that chart

[Russ Chadd]

Hey Russ,

Ash... lets see if its correct first and maybe i could post it on here?

If you  buy the poly brush it will also clean hard floors and pay for it's self on the first job (no need for pads).

However, I would not use a polly brush on most domestics only synthetics as IMO it's overkill.
