Prochem don't currently sell a power brush. You could use an Extracta scrubba or a rotovac dhx or powerwand. What type of work do you want it for?

You may need to change your quick connects on the scrubber but it will work fine. You may find spending more time agitating pre-spray with a rotary, crb, pile brush with a descent dwell will serve you better. i suspect most on here do not use a scrubber/powerwand, particularly on domestics.

I had a scrubba but found it a pain on domestics. As Simon said the right pre-spray, agitation and dwell should do a better job and imo easier than  using a scrubba. Some thing like a sebo duo or a oreck orbitor  would be a good first port of call.

These things are designed for intank detergent use with no after rinse.
Most people seem to use presprays and agitate followed by a plain or additive rinse depending on carpet type and solution used.
This does not require a power brush for rinsing.
The Scrubba could be used for agitation, but there are better tools for this.

Sorry to be stating the obvious but I wondered if rycalshaw was aware of the older technology.

I had a scrubba (sold it) found it a pain after using an rx-20.

The sebo duo clogs up and smells (badly) even after a good soak in a cleaning agent. So i dont use that.

I have a rotowash R4 (although abit on the commercial side) is by far the best agitator between the scrubba and the duo.

Most of the time, i use the pile brush (quicker)
