The chemical is sprayed at a very low pressure -120psi I think .

That makes this an oddball machine , though to a chem dry operator it is a bargain if the hours are low, this was sold for nearly 20k new

If it's that bloody cheap & easy to do why haven't they got there finger out and sorted it before advertising. ::)

Post by: Mike Halliday on August 29, 2011, 04:18:26 pm: i believe this truckount is an unusual design it doesn't have a water pump but uses a compressor to mix the 2 cleaning solution, it would not lend its self easily to normal carpet cleaning.

but it could be adapted and knowing chemdry it will not have been built on the cheap, £2000 is not a bad price

From my recolection it would be easy enough to lose the compressor and fit a pump with new fresh water tank. Personally I think its a bargin at 2k even with the problem!
