So , its a twin 6.6 in series .
Its pretty high quality in terms of sturdyness , like the metal manifolds and bolt clamps .
Its has a soft/slow start module built in so it can be started by remote control .
Its twin fan cooled .
Its also water proof

Looks very professional!!!

But is it not too much for 1 core? I believe 6.6 are 1850W each so 2 of them is 3700W

3700W/ 240V= 15.4 AMP. What fuse you have in that plug then?

Hello , i have tested the 6.6 before i think it read about 6.8amps with no restriction .
I think the 6.6 is more a 1600w motor .
Il put an amp meter on the booster when i get time , id say between 13 and 14amps .
The standard fuse will be fine with that .

What vac reading are you getting ? Does that gauge measure the full system (. Inc the vacs in the machine) or just the booster?

It does look a well made piece of kit

I really didnt try it much yet , its over 15HG so far ,  so less than two HD electros  .... how ever there is a good blast of air from the exhaust for airflow should be up .
I still have fit a 6.6 to the lower Enforcer vac position to see what four 6.6 is like , there is still one HD electro in there now ... but il leave it til the xmas break as i have to make brackets etc .
It should measure the total HG with both  going though

Ive not tried it out yet mate.... but i will do once i can get a 90 degree angle for it :)
Everything else is ready to go... i just need the angle & the bits to connect it to the enforcer & then ill start drilling holes again :) & also a screw on end cap for the angle when im not using the booster...

I am liking all this booster box making  ;D

How much did they cost to build ? John & James.

James is the smell coming from the lid were the exhaust is touching it.

John, when your ready to take orders I could use a small booster box, just 1hd electro would be great - (you could use a lunchbox  ;D)

I ain't paying 450+vat for the cleansmart booster pod

Excellent!! Well done guys.

If I had to just offer an alternative, I'd personally run a portable from the van on one cord and have an in line booster nearer the door how could you deal with that?
