Ha ha no mate,don't worry,not much chance of that !!
Can't fault their service if I am honest,delivery driver turned up, just as I was pinning the long note to my door,prior to going out at 7.55 this morning.
Pump came with new elbows,but also had a 13 amp plug fitted to the end of the lead,not sure why,maybe they tested it prior to sending it out ?
Now fitted in my machine,ran about 20ltr through it to test it and nothing to report.The spare I had fitted yesterday was leaking around the pump head, but ran fine here on my outdated electrics , Village hall is a new build,with very sensitive  trip switches.
I will be taking my diesel generator when I go to finish the remaining half of the job today,won't trip that off !!
Think that nearly 24 hours is a long enough dwell time for the powerburst I put down yesterday  ;D

$4,699.00 if you buy direct from Mytee in US. Import and Duty to pay though = £2900+taxes..

Woodbridge £5000 + VAT.

Same price as a top end porty.

Also 110v in USA. Not sure if could run or a site transformer? Safer I would have thought.

We are the European distributor of Mytee products so Mytee would not be able to sell direct to you. We bring it over and convert it ready for the UK market. We add a 80 degree heater, put a heavier duty Inte-rpump in it too which Mytee don't do. The USA version kicks out 1000 PSI, ours is limited to 2000 PSI. The machine is a great robust, light but powerful unit. and most importantly it's Cheaper to buy than a petrol driven truck mount and cheaper to run. You are more than welcome to pop in and see our demo unit in one of our vans.

Regards

Jim

All this is is a portable machine with portable machine performance that is bolted into a van with the added benefit that you can call it a truck mount.
If you want a true truck mount, with all the extra performance and earning potential, you know what to do? 8)

No portable comes remotely close  to  325cfm and 16.5 HG  .

It does make common sense that 4 x 5.7" motors are more powerful than 2 x 6.6" but you have to look at what you want from the machine, one gives you more power the other you can move around classic horses for courses

Around 300cfm but only 10hg

Solutions used to say 325 cfm and 425 with the booster fitted

Its the 10hg vs 16.5 thats significant ...    ( thats 135" lift vs 230" lift )


As for CFM it has three motors ... each around 100cfm   ,  same motors thats in the airflex turbo on youtube showing  305cfm , scorpion had quite restrictive plumbing so around the same or less ....
An inline booster wont raise lift significantly .

These CFM figures, how are they calculated and with what length of hose?

Simon im quoting Mytees figures at the machine .
325CFM   230" lift
I believe an ETM like this would be mostly used in the 100ft max range in domestic situations anyway .
At 200ft i believe its dropped to  125cfm and 175" lift measured at the hose .
Still a fairly usable figure but at 200ft Mytee would probably expect you to add the Twinvac series Airhog booster ( 230" / 150CFM ) close to the wand .... which could double as your backup standalone portable with the additional water box .

Of course not as powerful or convenient as a large truckmount ...  but you've gotta make these things work for you and live with any compromises .
