Hi,
my T/M is due in stock sometime in the next couple of weeks ( woodbridge pro mount 20 :)) and so I am just wondering what "extras" are considered to be essential or at least very useful when using this sort of equipment?
Its coming with a 400 litre sub mount tank, hose reel, twin jet wand, 100ft pipe and a water diverter to put the dumped fresh water back into the supply tank.
How much extra vac/water pipe will I need?
Glides ?
In line vac pipe filter thingy?
Hose ramp or just signs / cones ?
Hose hangers ?
I am thinking more perhaps of some of the "not so obvious extras", that you have found make life so much easier when using your T/M, (like a valve on the end of the solution line to cut off water pressure,making it easy changing tools over).
Thanks
Chris
PS I see on the news that fuel prices are predicted to rocket this summer and a nationwide water shortage is likely ! :o
Good time to get a T/M then ! ;D

hi chris i too have ordered this machine and some of the extras i ordered are the sub mounted water tank to save space extra 50ft hose an in van heater to save any freezing in the winter. also a water filter system as i am in a very hard water area .when i take the van in for fitting i will then decide what other extras i feel essential such as ramps caution signs and any other thing useful for the fine tuning . but will look at replies with interest to get some ideas of what experienced t/ms feel essential

Chris and Carpetclean congrats on your new purchases 8) 8)
Things that you will need or is recomended imo
Inline Filter "a must" saves going in your waste tank all the time
Extra hose "a must" on commercial work I use anything up to 600 ft regulary but 200 ft is a good start.
Cilit Bang "a must" keeps your brasses looking like new ;D ;D
Hose Pipe "a must" no point having a a water tank if u cant fill it
Hoselock connectors "a must" get all of them there isnt always an ousided tap
50ft of 1.5 inch porty hose "a must" as you cant dump your water onto the pavement use your old porty hose you aint going to need that much now
Fuel can "a must" dont get caught out buy parking on a hill and running out of fuel
Ramp (double) and signs "a must" health and safety
additonal handy things include :-
RDM / RX 20, TM 4 jet wand with hybrid glide, drimaster, cfr tools with bleed screw, hose hooks (or bungee)
Oh and happier custys ;)
