A stainless steel carpet wand weighs 7.5 to 8 pounds and every ounce sits at the end of your arms for hundreds of strokes a day. The EDIC Triton cuts that to 6.5 lbs with an aircraft aluminum tube and a low center of gravity, and it's the wand EDIC puts in its Galaxy "TK" kits and its Endeavor carpet kits.
Lighter isn't the only point. The Triton's head is shaped for higher, even airflow across its full width, so it recovers water evenly from edge to edge and needs less downward push to seal on the carpet. The shoe is UHMW plastic, the thermoplastic with the highest impact strength made today, and its friction is lower than Delrin's, so the wand glides and the shoe wears slowly.
Up front, a dual jet manifold places the two spray patterns so they don't overlap and unclips in seconds for cleaning. The valve is rated to 1200 PSI and the solution line to 3000 PSI. Buy the wand alone, or choose With 15 ft hose or With 25 ft hose above to get EDIC's matching Galaxy hose with it, under one EDIC kit number.
Both versions are the same wand. The difference is the size of the spray tips, which has to match your machine's pressure.
100 to 250 PSI, #TR1-95015FS-A ($790): for the Galaxy 5, the Galaxy 2000 SX and IX, the Galaxy Pro 2700IX, and the Polaris and Supernova in hose mode.
500 PSI, #TR1-9501FS-A ($790): for the 500 PSI Galaxy 2000CX, Galaxy Pro 2700CX and 2700FX, and the Endeavor. Smaller tips keep the flow right at high pressure. The 100 to 250 PSI version on a 500 PSI machine overwets the carpet and slows drying.
EDIC sells the Triton with its Galaxy vacuum and solution hose as a kit: a 1-1/2 inch crush-proof vacuum hose banded to a high-pressure, high-heat solution line, brass quick disconnects at both ends. Each kit costs less than buying the two separately.
15 ft or 25 ft? The 15 ft hose is plenty for hotel rooms and offices where the machine sits at the door, and it keeps the most suction at the wand. The 25 ft hose cleans a classroom or a conference room from one spot. EDIC only makes the 500 PSI kit with the 25 ft hose, so that combination shows as unavailable above; for 500 PSI with 15 ft, add the wand and the 15 ft 1040AC-HP hose separately. Need 50 ft? Pair the wand with the 5040AC-HP.
Triton (from $790): 6.5 lb aluminum, UHMW glide, tool-free manifold. For crews cleaning carpet all day, where weight and recovery pay back the price.
Glidemaster (from $266): 7.4 to 8 lb polished stainless steel, dual or single jet, 10 or 12 inch head, also sold with the hose. The classic, lower-cost choice for occasional or in-house cleaning.
For heavily soiled carpet, the Powermate powered wand adds a 2500 RPM brush. For stairs and vehicle floors, see the stair and van wand ($253).

After each job, run clean water through the wand for a minute to flush detergent out of the jets. If the spray pattern turns uneven, unclip the manifold and rinse the strainer and tips.
Kits ship directly from EDIC as two boxes, one for the wand and one for the hose.
