Where should liquid silicone-based defoamers be added?

Liquid silicone-based defoamers are typically added inside the waste tank or vacuum hose because this placement allows them to effectively reduce foam buildup that can occur during carpet cleaning operations. When foam accumulates in the waste tank or vacuum lines, it can cause issues such as reduced suction performance and potential damage to the vacuum system. By placing the defoamer in the waste tank or vacuum hose, the defoamer works directly on the foam as it is being pulled through the vacuum, ensuring that it efficiently breaks down any foam before it can lead to problems.

This approach maximizes the defoamer's effectiveness and helps maintain optimal performance of the equipment throughout the cleaning process. Overall, the strategic placement of liquid silicone-based defoamers is essential for preventing operational issues related to foam, which can interfere with effective carpet cleaning.
