I appreciate you had a nice job on monday - but you missed a great show and there were plenty of machines to play with there, including the 3 vac set ups and 2 new truckmounts.

I reckon I will save a couple of hundred a year just by implementing some of rogers suggestions about banking.
Then there was Dougs spotting Chems, that would be a few hundred over a year.
And that's just money saved.

picked my new three vac Alltec Advance up from CCDO, used it today for first time - awesome!
Its a lot quieter than my Scorpion and seems more powerful (and with heat).
The machine is on two power leads - if you have three vacs and pump working and then turn the heat on, the third vac cuts out as a safety feature.
Pump on my Scorpion went down last week, so I asked for my new machine from Alltec, as Nick at Solutions didn't have a pump in stock . Unfortunately, my machine wasn't quiet ready so, without asking, Chris from Alltec sent a new pump to me and as a good will gesture said at the CCDO its a gift :o
-
Alltec are really pulling out the stops with the customer service, I like the idea of the vac cut out that's quite smart, but why do you need heat? :o

Ps the Cleansmart machine didn't have a heater.
-
Robert you have 2 machines add another lil van and that son of yours looks more than ready to go at it

Micro chip technology, now that's the way forward trust me.

Just bought a second van for my Mobility business, my Son runs this for me. He helps in the cleaning business when I have a big job on, fetch carry etc.
Regards Rob

Rug drying is the way forward ,don't you agree Shaun.

Bought a 2" wand at the CCDO auction works a treat with the new machine. Its the Chemspec double D wand ,£500 worth for £150 .
Rob
-
And with your 2" wand as well you got a good set up there Rob.
Good to see your lad there taking an interest, I bet he doesn't BEBO. ;D
-
Doug got the Drimaster for a song.
-
I can't remember how much the drimaster went for exactly but he saved about £200 ish.

Hi Guys
It wasn't that cheap , I paid 280 but was happy to as the recipients of the money were the Macmillan Cancer Support Charity.
In total just over 2000 was raised, which was excellent.
Cheers

Ps the Cleansmart machine didn't have a heater.
It's an optional extra
-
Yes big difference 2" to a 1.5" wand ,as airflow optimise causes wand too lock- down so you have to angle wand to help air movement. I also have a 4 jet 1.75 " Westpak with a Hybrid Greenglide ,this is awesome 12" option.
Regards Rob
-
12' whip on some small confined areas or 10" hand -tool on 2" hose, eg behind doors, television etc.
Regards Rob

Need 3 phase soon. ;D

Was tempted by the new ninja with steam but............................................................
What's the point of a warranty if you have to either:
drive all the way to Kent from just outside leeds i.e. a 5 or 6 hour journey plus diesel for a repair under warranty
or
courier it down for £105 plus the downtime.

I got talking to a C/C who has been established since the early 80's..... I told him I was looking at upgrading to the triple vac machine and he told me he has a mate who "Had" one and it was nothing but trouble :o
Then he said that adding a second motor doesn't mean you get double the lift, hence adding a third won't mean you get three times the lift ???
Can anyone shed any light on this ???
-
Parallel vs Series configuration Colin, didn't you listen at school? :D
In series, as you add vac motors the lift will increase but airflow stays the same.
In parallel, the airflow will increase but lift stays the same.
All airflow with no lift is useless. All lift with no airflow is useless. Lots of both is nice :)

According to that link then in series is better than in parallel.

You're probably right Clinton, he's probably never touched one.... I will "Test Drive" a Triple Vac rather than go by hearsay in any case! I just passed on this guys thoughts to see what you all thought :)
-
Well I have to drive about 2 hours to get to Exeter (On a bad day ::))
-
I've just come back from Cumbria and I'm planning on visitting "Whinlatter" every couple of months for some serious mountain biking :o So I could really pop in for a test drive of the new triple vac en route in June...
Come to think of it, we're off to a wedding do in Warrington in May :)

Where is Altec located??
