Title: Which FSC?
Post by: CleanerCarpets on June 19, 2017, 09:07:25 am: Hi - i'm looking for a small FSC for my machine - Lombardini 15lpm with Interpump w154

I was looking to get a small one as my machine hasn't got the umph for any big units

Anyone know of a good little one and where to buy? I have been looking at one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351411852056?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT but its a Kiam. I know their machines aren' the best so wondered if that means their FSC is worth avoiding too?

With my machine at around 15lpm and the W154 should i go for the smallest and if so does it matter it has no wheels!?

I bought a 18 inch whirlaway and it works fine with my 15 lpm 250 bar..i cleaned a tennis court with it and it worked a treat :)

If so you wont power any decent size FSC whirlaway or Mosmatic ,
If you really want a FSC you may get away with a small mosmatic 12"

Post by: CleanerCarpets on June 19, 2017, 07:52:59 pm: yes its 150 bar so thats why i was thinking a small FSC. Maybe i would be better upgrading the pump before i get an FSC? Its on a PA B5 gearbox to the Lombardini 15 LD 350 - would an upgraded Interpump just bolt straight on?
