NOMAD vs. Crappy Spray Tank



I hear people occasionally talk down to my beloved NOMAD H2O ON THE GO tank, and it makes me angry. They roll up with their sixty dollar hand sprayer they stole from the cemetary maintenance shed near their house and think it's the same. It's not. Not even close. The NOMAD system is better in so many ways. Jeff's 24hr race last weekend saw the tank get abused for lap after lap of filthy bike and filthy rider getting repeatedly cleaned to a "t."





I asked the guy to "fire up" his manually operated 1.5 gallon junk box and show me what it had. At FULL PRESSURE, it barely had enough spray force to knock the gnats off his ass. Even THAT was a close call. In about 90 seconds, it was empty. He had to run BACK to the lake, refill it, run back to the pit area, and repeat the whole process. No adjustable spray nozzle, NO reach (which means you stand in your own puddle eventually...after two dozen trips to refill the crappy tank), no pressure, manually pumping the thing after your wiped out from laps of racing, no filter in the line, and no storage space on each side for brushes and solvents..







I plugged in my NOMAD, and had enough water and pressure to knock dried mud off Jeff's bikes (BOTH bikes), give him AND the neighbor racer girl a shower, and still spray all the funk off his clothes. I didn't pump, didn't refill, and had a thirty foot radius from which to operate. Perfect. What's better? NOMAD is releasing a NEW tank that is cordless!!! It's larger, too. This little wonder tank beats your garden sprayer hands down, every time. Find a dealer and get one, especially if you race 24hr races. Nothing better than a post-race shower that doesn't end in jock-itch on your feet and hangy-down parts!




DH racers need NOMAD tanks for their rigs on the East coast, where mud is an ever present performance robber.
