Reclaim surface cleaner speed vs no reclaim?

This has been bugging me and I haven’t been able to find much info after looking for a few hours. My thought is that a surface cleaner with a vacuum system, such as a 30" with 8 gpm cold, would be much faster than a non reclaim surface cleaner. From what I have read there is a lot less rinsing and you wouldn’t have to deal with puddles. And supposedly the cleaning is more efficient because the pressure doesn’t have to push through as much water. I did read that @Racer said they moved slow because of the vacuum pressure, but the videos I’ve found online looked like they move at a decent speed. I was thinking one could pump into the landscaping on driveways and then do a post treat and be golden, but I must be missing something?

I don’t mind spending the little bit extra on equipment if I am going to be 20%+ faster because the dollar per hour me make would make that a non-issue.

You can do that without telling everyone, BTW. Just change the notification settings below the “reply” button

Thank you!
