The Hydro-Force AW79 Titanium Wand is a 15-inch, 5-jet truck-mount carpet wand built on lightweight titanium tubing with a Teflon glide head. It weighs less than 9 pounds, runs 2-inch heavy-duty vacuum tubing for maximum airflow, and gives the carpet-cleaning operator a wand that powers through commercial loop and dense residential plush without the wrist fatigue of a steel wand on a 6- or 8-hour route day.
Built for
Truck-mount carpet cleaning routes (residential and light commercial), restoration contractors running long shifts on water-damage projects, commercial cleaners working hospitality, healthcare, and office accounts, and any operator who has been fighting a heavy steel 12-inch wand and wants the speed of a wider head without the weight penalty.
Why titanium and 15 inches
A 15-inch head covers 25% more square footage per pass than a 12-inch wand. Titanium tubing makes that wider head feel lighter in the hand than a steel 12-inch, which is the trade-off that lets operators run faster routes without burning out their wrists by mid-afternoon. The Teflon glide reduces friction on carpet, further cutting forearm fatigue.
Adjustable jet depth - the AW79's signature feature
Unlike fixed-jet wands, the AW79's 5 stainless steel jets adjust depth-wise: bring them closer to the carpet to reduce heat loss and run hotter at the fiber, or move them back for wider coverage and faster route work. This single adjustment lets one wand handle commercial wide-area work and high-temp restoration work with the same tool.
Soft Touch Upholstery valve
The standard Soft Touch valve lets the operator throttle solution flow without holding constant trigger pressure - significantly reducing finger fatigue over a long day. It also lets you ease into spotty pre-treated areas without overspraying, which is the difference between a clean dry-time pass and an overwet carpet that takes 2 hours to dry.

Frequently asked questions
Will the AW79 fit my truck-mount?
The AW79 uses standard truck-mount carpet cleaning fittings (2-inch vacuum, 1/4-inch QD solution). It is compatible with virtually all major truck-mount brands - Hydramaster, Sapphire Scientific, Prochem, Butler. Check your existing wand fittings before ordering.
Is 15 inches the right wand width for me?
For commercial wide-area work, yes - it's the productivity sweet spot. For tight residential rooms with heavy furniture, a 12-inch wand is more maneuverable. Many route operators carry both.
How long do the stainless jets last?
The 5 stainless steel jets are user-replaceable and typically last 12-24 months on a daily route operator before wear changes the spray pattern. Keep spares in the truck.
Can I use the AW79 with a portable extractor?
Yes, but the 2-inch vacuum tubing is overkill for most portables (which run 1.5-inch). A truck-mount or high-end portable with 2-inch vacuum is the right pairing - on a small portable, the wand will be airflow-limited.
How do I clean and store the wand?
Flush hot water through the jets at end of shift to prevent mineral buildup. Store dry and indoors - the Teflon glide can be scuffed by dropping the wand head-down on concrete.
