I turn at least 90% of all calls into work and don't even mention the machine....

It's tall story time

Guys i have persuaded many customers over the last month to have a clean using the thermadry system as opposed to the truckmount i have and have had excellent results so far and am going to access over the next 2 months whether i need to have such a large unit in my little transit swb all the time.Regards Alan(swindon)

[Simon Gerrard]

Wouldn't dream of it! Why sell people short by cutting corners?

[Colin Day]

Simon, I don't need to over-exaggerate like some of you guys obviously do....

I probably would mention it, but only if they asked... I once had some muppet ask if I used a hydraulic machine to steam clean the carpets.... I should have passed Simon's number on to them....

A few dedicated Electric TMs coming onstream shortly it seems ... 
perhaps prompted by Ahmadinejad and the boys driving fuel cost skyhigh ...

Mytee's escape ( twin electro 5.7 vacs + booster )

This is coming in march ... velocity tech ( electro motors again )

And alltec ETM   hopefully a quadvac !

I recon whoever makes an ETM with Ameteks 8.4s over here could be on to winner ...
Only 6.5 amps each at 230v
So two 8.4s and pump on a convenient one cord system for 150' lift and almost 300cfm
and perhaps boosting this with more 8.4 on another cord when needed ...

Aparantley Electric Vans are the new Rock and Roll instead of those things driven by diesel.

So it makes sense that turbo charged ultra  efficient Electric  van mounted machines are a 21st Century product and those gas guzzlers will be extinct in 10 years time, The green Party would probably outlaw them when they become members of the Coalition

[john martin]

yes ... even the americans are looking at alternatives to their 'gas'

whoa !  ...   just read velocity tech page  ... the terminal velocity has four 8.4's

or the hybrid version ... petrol / switch to four 8.4

I wouldn't get too excited at the thought of etm's as they will always be tied to the amount of cleaning power you can generate through a 13 amp cable, or even multiple cables and customers sensitivities to you sucking up their power in enormous quantities having not been told in advance of that hidden cost.

They wouldn't know unless someone told them though Simon

 

[Simon Gerrard]

What, when you're running three cables out the house to your van?  they must be blind.

[Craigp]

A little trip here a little trip there, who would know!

13 amp fuse ?    2.5mm cable is rated 20amp  
fuse is good for bit more then 13amp

No need for three cables ...

one cable for two 8.4 + pump

add another cable when using more vacs ..

Yeah, but why bother when you could get a proper purpose built TM designed for the job?

1 from the hall, 1 from the living room and 1 out of the bedroom window...

Only tell em about the 1 from the hall and keep them in the kitchen making brews...


jobs a goodun

 

[Steve Chapman]

Whats funny is most customers i come across expect you to be plugging something in esp the older ones.

Even when ive told them theres no need as it its petrol driven they still insist on showing where the sockets are :

Sometimes ive even got the sebo out the van and plugged it in just to make them feel better

Next time you're doing an EOT with a pay as you go leccy metre, note how much it actually costs...

Back to square one then    
The machine i proposing is a proper purpose built ETM designed for the job

running cost differentiate mostly i suppose ..

Careful John, there's a chance we might end up agreeing with each other here.... And we both know that that just can't happen
