How does the water feed into machine? just out of interest.

From the water tank via 12v pump or a hose pipe

Hi Stevey,
Am I right in thinking they have a header tank the same as all the other machines.
My next question is are you using a float switch or a presure vessel to cut off the flow to the header tank?
i.e Switches in the header tank or pressure switch on the pump via a pressure vessel?
-
no header tank
-
Steve won't it pull straight from the tank without a supply pump?

Steve
What No Tank! Cheap Skate
Mick,
I thought that as well, my old prochem Cub could pull water provided the lift was not to high

The old one did it worked off gravity the new one is designed differently
-
So the water tank has to be higher than machine? I presume tanks and pumps are all extra costs?

Not necessarily you would have to check with John about tanks and pump I'm sure there is a thread somewhere stating tank included not sure about pump

Cheers steve. I only wondered really. Its probably been asked a million times but what happens to waste water?
Justin

That's the bit you throw away ;D
Only kidding Justin ;)
From what I have seen that's the interesting thing about these machines you can either blow it into a seperate tank or just let it down the drain.
That's what make these machine ideal for smaller vans the lack of tanks needed.

They used to pull direct off the tank. However he is forever developing them. The new one has 2 inlet solenoids which sense water flow and cut the engine if the flow stops. Somehow this prevents it drawing off so we are using a 12 volt 16lpm demand pump which is included. This also results in less wear on the pump as it doesn't have to work as hard drawing water in. If you need a waste tank then a wheely bin with an inlet port and waste outlet makes a very versatile one for around 40 quid.

So you could say then Steve this is a true Stream cleaning machine ;D
