Ryan,

I,m only guessing here, but i wouldnt have thought that your porty would not have the pressure or the capacity to do it justice, the tool will have a minimum pressure for it to work, what is it? and what pressure does your machine run at.
what where you thinking of cleaning with this set up?

geoff
who ever said dont knock before u try ,i never tried dog crap but i know i wouldnt like  haha

my porty is only 120 psi i had bought this about 8 months ago when doing a bit of power washing and then i seen hard floor attachments for portys and they looked very similar to this....a well just an idea thought i might put it to some could use for hard floor cleaning instead of selling it.

You'll need at least 800psi to spin it and even then it would only have limited cleaning ability. The tools designed for extraction cleaning have a double skin with the recovery suction around the outside ring.

Never did. Been trying to source them but hard slog. Can get hold of a Mosmatic but not sure what they are like.

I've heard that they aren't up to much.
