i assume that along the vacuum hose there will be water slowly sprayed in so that the dust doesn't clog the vacs?

Shaun, HUll Vac ( a company in Hull)


these make the one sold by ashbys look like a toy.


Adam I use a line into the vac hose, the pump is'nt turned on nut the vacuum pulls solution through the system into the vac line

ok thanks for letting me know. only downside to this with portables, or at least for me, is you'd have to get the porty set up first before anything else, where as i like to vac then prespray, agitate and then finally set the machine up whilst it's got a minute for the product to work it's magic, not wasting any time.
