How dose the gun work?
Hi Jamie,
Copied from my initial post on the gun:-
"Hi Jim,
Ok, my best attempt at a description of how it works then!!!
The air pressure from the compressor comes up and through a valve - this can either be set to flow right through to the gun ( Just an air gun effect ) or it opens up the bottle chamber. If this is set, then the air creates a suction, pulling the chemical up through a filter and into the flexi pipe. This pipe rotates within the cone assembly, agitating the chemical at the same time.
The combination of the agitated chemical and the air pressure is what gives the cleaning power.
There is a small hole in the cone ( narrow end ) which creates a form of vacuum, making dirt and debris come back up the cone and held there.
To clean this, all you do is place the open end into a bucket of water and trigger, the closed loop then cleans the cone out and your ready to go again.
As you can imagine, its great for things like air vents, now rather than just dusting them and making them look clean, I can actually force clean them right through by opening the vents and placing a cloth over the mating vent, catching the trapped dirt from the vent chambers.
Ok, that maybe didn't make much sense but I tried!!
Cheers
Ally"
The pressure required to run correctly as Stu pointed out can be an issue so i'm told. At the moment I'm using a 24ltr one but trying to source a 50ltr upright one purely for minimising the space it takes up in the van. By using a imple control valve on the gun you can control the pressure much better, avoiding the problem Stu highlighted.
