Are they loosely based on the Extracta Scrubba or something?

no one will have one on stock in the Uk, you'll need to order from the USA or ask one of the big suppliers to get one sent across on thier next shipment

Its a heavy weight wand, 4 jets that can be weighted up if required.

Originally designed for flood restoration work.

We supplied one years ago to a guy and now he wants another.

We had one shipped in last time. Chemspec used to supply them.

you might find one if you advertise on the 'used for sale items'. Its what us oldies used in the seventies before wands were invented. Someone might have one in their garage
Stimvac, Cleancare used to stock them along time ago

Cheers Terry.

Its for an old school 70s cleaner in fact.

The one we sold him is still good. They are built like tanks.

He still uses the pile lift, rotary shampoo, rinse technique that he has always done and still gets amazing results.

No he is an owner operator.

His father before him taught my father to clean carpets and a few other of the well established guys up here in Scotland,

Traditional cleaning with modern technology & chemistry I suppose is one way to look at it.

Steam genie seem to be the main manufacturer who are now gone.

These bad boys are built like military hardware. Perhaps too well hence their demise.

Can you contact me with cost specs etc please so I can go back to my customer with them.

He isnt a time waster by any means he just wants to make sure he has funds in place before commiting.

Regards,
Jamie
