A few questions about the Zeta ?
Will the pump on the Zeta not overheat if its run for several hours with a very low flow of water ( like when cleaning a lot of upholstery).
Will the warranty on the Zeta still be valid if the machine is used for carpet cleaning rather than jet washing?
Am I correct in thinking that although the Zeta runs on diesel it also needs to be plugged into the mains?
regards

The pump on the zeta will work fine at pressure of 400 psi +, anything below that will not fire the burner, i have tested with a Hydromaster drimaster 2 tool and this will work fine at 400 - 600 psi.
Also the wonderwand two jet works great, so does the usual 2 and 4 jet wands as well as the stair tools.
When the machine is not being used for more than 5 mins you should turn it off as the pump is recirculating fresh cold water, turning the machine off will save wear and tear on the unit and save energy.
I would not advise using some hand tools with the Zeta, the CFR upholstery tools have 01 nozzles which create lots of back pressure and low water flow which will not trigger the burner as there isnt enough water flow.
When it comes to upholstery i would advise using your portables pump as this will be more suitable to hand tools with very small nozzle sizes, most people i know will tend to extract with warm tap water only and you don't need lots of pressure around 120 psi is plenty.
The only time the warranty would become void is if the end user were to modify the machine somehow resulting in damage to the pump etc...
If the machine is being fed water from a tank then it MUST have a good quality water filter fitted to the supply hose, 9 /10 times pumps fail because of contaminated water and this will also invalidate the warranty.
And finally... the Zeta will run on Diesel, red diesel, heating oil, bio diesel and kerosine to fire the boiler, it requires an electrical feed to power the pump and spark generator.
The max wattage it draws is about 2.4 kw on startup (turning the machine on)
