Erik, As you know, we recently bought the Zipper™. Our business is is about 60% residential, 40% commercial. The Zipper™ is a great tool and dry times are dramitically reduced. It does not seem to matter what segment we clean, we shaved 50% off the amount of time it took to complete each job, where we previously used rotary extraction, enabling us to get an extra couple jobs done per day.
Thanks, Erik.

The Zipper™ is revolutionary. This is what carpet cleaners have been waiting for. The Zipper™ will out clean and dry any wand on the market. I have tried rotary extractors, drag wands, but the Zipper™ does what its made to do, clean carpets.

What can I say about the Zipper™? It has so many advantages. We use it on every job we do now. I liked it so much I bought a second one within the first month of the first unit. I enjoy cleaning again that’s for sure, big rooms don’t seem that big and my shoulder does not hurt anymore either. We have a rotary extractor and I would much rather use the Zipper™. I don’t need to cut in all the edges anymore (of course some we do) and I don’t groom the carpet only to find out there were some streaking issues. The rotary could never clean the commercial jobs like the Zipper™. And I don’t want some light weight tool that just glides over the surface either; the Zipper™ gets in there and cleans like a big dog without me being the big dog. It has cleaned every carpet type and style very well with better dry times than before. My front porch has an old true indoor/outdoor carpet and I have never seen it come out so well. One school we clean every year took an hour longer this year single wanding with the Zipper™, versus dual wanding before, but here is the kicker I had one less employee on the job. That is huge! We are a very quality focused company and very picky about a lot of things we do, this tool gives us the quality we want, the dry times we want and is saving us time. We clean with both a Vortex and Prochem unit and now I feel confident using both machines that the cleaning is equal on all jobs. Thank you Erik for building this great tool, I truly think it is the best investment I have ever made in my company in a long time. I wish this tool had been around before buying other machines and tools that claimed to save so much time and money but never really did.
Thanks Again! Jesse Clark
P.S. All of my employees love it!

Wash on Wheels was one of the first companies to purchase the Zipper™. I realized immediately the time savings that the Zipper™ would have on my commercial jobs. The Zipper™ made my customers very happy because the results were amazing. I feel that the purchase price of the Zipper™ will be offset by the savings in the cost of labor. In the long run the Zipper™ will have cost me nothing. It is my opinion that every carpet cleaning company should own one.

I freakin love the Zipper™, it took some getting used to but now were using it on most of the jobs, the results are amazing, it just makes sense to have the weight and I love how it stands upright and is ready to go. The magnet & site tube are really good ideas. I did a little personal test of my own, I cleaned an area with the Titanium Wand which I usually spray on the forward & backward pass and then do a dry pass. I did the same with the Zipper™ until I saw very little moisture in the site tube, then I went over the area where I had just cleaned with the Ti wand and it was like I didn’t even do a dry pass, I got so much more extra out of the carpet with the Zipper™. I thought I would be using it on just open areas but we’ve been using it most of the time. I think I used the Ti wand once since I’ve had the Zipper™. I’ve been getting compliments from ladies and their telling me how cool the Zipper™ looks. I tell them yea, it’s the latest & greatest tool, bla,bla,bla. And it does look really cool. The quality is outstanding. I want to thank you for taking such pride in your idea and the craftsman ship is top notch. I hope I can buy 2 more someday.

A little over a year ago, Erik brought the Zipper™ proto-type into our store for us to demo. He wanted our opinion on his new product. We hooked the Zipper™ up to a Power Clean Unit. My first thought was, "What kind of drag wand is this?" After a few strokes, I realized it wasn’t any kind of drag wand at all. It was incredible, unique, & I knew others had to try it. It was easy to operate and the carpets dried very quickly. A few months ago, Erik re-visited our store with his finished product and dropped one off with us to use. By watching the air-flow through the lexan glass, I quickly realized why the carpets dried so fast and how pressures could be increased for better agitation. The Zipper™ doesn’t put excess strain on your back. During operation, you stand in an upright position, so your back is not hunched to one side. The best feature of the Zipper™ is the amount of Sq/Ft you can clean an hour. As we all know, "time is money." I would not do a large commercial job without it. The results are mind-blowing. We hold many different Certification Courses in our store and we demonstrated the Zipper™ to see what other carpet cleaners thought. They couldn’t believe the results and how easy it was to use. It makes the newest technicians look like a professional carpet cleaners immediately. The Zipper™ truly is a great product and a lot of carpet cleaners could benefit from using this tool.

Hey guys, this wand is great. NO BULLSH** about it. Erik really did his homework on this wand. We use it on 98% of our jobs!

History of the Zipper™
We decided to build our own carpet cleaning tool, after looking at everything available and not finding anything to our liking. Almost 6 years ago, we came up with our proto-type concept that would fit all of our cleaning needs.
Our main goal was to invent something that reduced fatique and dried the carpets faster, reducing spot wicking, which is caused by leaving the carpet to wet!
We achieved this goal by designing a dual port walk behind wand. This allows you to clean and never leave water behind on your forward stroke. As we came out with the two port head, we realized that both of these ports needed to stay on the carpet at all times for equal extraction. So we built a non-fixed handle into the proto-type design. That works great!
This concept along with the wheels and the overall weight of the head, allowed us to achieve all of our goals. We call it the "Zipper™;".
When using this tool, your back is always aligned straight. Always keeping the handle at waist level, allows you to use all of your muscles evenly. Your legs, back, & arms are used uniformly to push and pull the Zipper™. This greatly reduces body fatigue & strain.
As most people in the carpet cleaning industry know, the technique of cleaning carpet correctly is not a skill learned overnight. The Zipper™ reduces the skill level needed by a technician to produce fabulous results.
After extensive testing the Zipper™ prototypes under a wide variety of conditions, the Zipper™ Commercial Dual Port Walk Behind Wand is now completely developed.
For the last two years, we have been under an exclusive agreement with a third party company who had the full rights to sell the Zipper™ exclusively. This agreement has been completed. We can now sell the Zipper™ directly to you. Order today!

![nozzle flow rate chart](https://www.steam-brite.com/equipment/spray-nozzle-flow-rate-char.jpg) So how much what leave this wand?
See chart to the right side to clarify.
I will provide example for the Zipper 15 6 jet wand. Available with 9501, 95015, or 9502 jets. The last 2 numbers refer to the amount of gallon each jet dispenses at 4000 psi. Naturally we clean at about 500 psi and not 4000. The zipper has 6 jets so the total nozzle flow is 6 X 1 = 6, OR 6 X 1.5 = 9, OR 6 X 2 = 12.
You will notice the Zipper 15 with the 9501 will release 2.12 gallons per min.
Zipper 15, 9 flow releases 3.18 gallons per minute.
Zipper 15 12 flow releases 4.24 gallons per minute.
