Just saw this - says they only do the 13hp now and discontinued the 12 & 15hp. Is this right? Place called Steambrite.

p.s. John, can you confirm? I rather liked the idea of the 15hp!
-
The 15hp was built at our request and encompassed an electronic clutch to disengage the pump and also a heat exchanger diverter. This was mainly to allow people to do flood extraction without having to have water going through the machine continuously. It was built with a 36 blower. We had it on trial and to be honest it wasn't a patch on the 13hp. Because the blower is running at much faster speeds than a conventional truckmount and draws the water straight through, it was impossible to run it at full revs because it stuck the wand to the carpet. Also the extra couple of grand it cost just didn't offer any great benefit.

In all honesty John I'd have loved a 15hp version but can't wait to see the 13hp.

Like I said Shaun wasn't worth the extra cash and also a lot bigger. Whats 2hp?
-
Shaun you thinking about getting one?

Hi John,
I'd like to order one of the in-line sprayers as mentioned on truckmounters. How can I do that?
Al the best,
Jason.

yeah the prowlers has a really restricted range, we cleaned all the rooms requred in the front and rear in the property from one van. we had two vans as it was a prestige job and wanted to have a back up on site, just in case.
stats if thats your bag, at the longest reach, 300 of 2 inch and 25foot whip & 350ft of pressure hose ( felt like areally good high end portable 700 psi through .0001 jets) two techs 4 turbo dryers and average drying time 45 mins. average room size 110 sq meters, carpet majority was unfastened woven hand sewn and bound axeminster weave. laying on a polished floor
Always wondered if having the biggest and best was the be-all and end-all, but this job put it into prepective, if the hoses hadn't reached we could have driven around the back! but we could clean the whole place from the front door!
Have only had to demont the prowler once and that was to clean....

Ah I realise I got the wrong range, english lanuage and its ambiguities, I though you ment length of hose and not choice of models.
Off to have seconds of humble pie!
