Why are you buying the heater? Does it make a difference to cleaning? Maybe invest in a crb machine rather than a heater.

I have a airflex storm 800 psi, I use it from the van, look after it and it will be amazing.

No isn't that 1 . But that is not a bad deal if it's only been used 2 times

its a cracking machine, and yes, the heater will make a difference!!!!!!
It helps with the cleaning and it helps with drying times............

I have a storm, it's a great bit of kit.
Heat makes a massive difference in cleaning. Until you clean with heat you won't realise how much.
Remember the cleaning pie "CHAT"
Chemical, HEAT, agitation & time if you take one away you have to compensate with more of others I.e higher ph, agitate carpet to death, longer dwell.

Why do truckmounts generate so much heat? Why do good suppliers have built in heaters on there machines or supply inline heaters?

I have the storm/magma combo .The heat is excellent for the cleaning and also it is impressive for the customer to see the "steam"...........Alan
