I may be answering my own question but on extraction machines with 6.6 motors it’s it switch one for vac 1 and then switch 2 for vac 2 with water pump each vac having their own leads?
-
My 800psi Storm has vac 1 and pump on the first switch and then vac 2 on the other.

My Enforcer has 3 switches one for each vac and one for pump.......two leads one for vacs and pump and one for heater.

My ‘thought’ are or may be not lol
I’m planning to put another van on the road , anyway after a seeing the inside of an ambulance which had 3 pin sockets for their machinery I was thinking of mounting a machine in the van and letting (if possible) the electrics from the van run the water pump but have an extension to the home with 2 x vacs.
Where’s John Martin when you need him?

Hes here ...
you could ... its seems like a lot of trouble to me ... the reason you want to run the pump from the van battery is because you dont want to run two cords to the house ? its not much more hassle to run two as to run one , or tie two extensions cords together ?
also you'd have to look into the running time youd get on the pump from the battery , youd need a second battery on a split charge system ... than a 50AH lasts 6hours using a 100w device ... so if a Storm 800psi half HP pump is about 350w ... would last a couple of hours on paper , perhaps not last a full days cleaning without charging again .
Was never fond of the vanmounted portable setup myself , most of the time its just easier to pull it out and get close to the job . But it suits some i suppose .
What machine are you considering .

Hi Shaun
Just buy a second hand entry level TM

I’ m not sure what I’m after atm I recently had a trip in an ambulance and saw the plug sockets in there it got me thinking and John saw right through me regarding the one cord.

Bang a generator in the back and save the hassle with cords.....
But I think Steve is right, get another tm.
