I purchased a second hand inline heater a while back and it has been very useful especially on the real mingers using powerburst.
When Ash told me that a CRB would change the way i would work i was very interested, up until this point i had been using SPM and a sebo duo and the results had been acceptable.
Its when you are brushing in your pre spray with a TM4 and the carpet starts to look loads better when you know something really cool is happening, pile is lifted and that almost new feeling under the feet can be felt.

Where a TM is so much more powerful i guess it doesn't rely so much on the agitation process, so a CRB machine would be the next thing i would add to your gear mate!

Is the tm4 direct drive or belt drive

I would take the used magma and look for a used crb dont worry about time concentrate on quality learn your products
make wise choices and save spotters it takes time to find the best way

[james roffey]

Why a choice between CRB and using the Magma why not use both, i do with hot tap water too you can turn the psi down a bit so full tank goes further and get great results, i would not be without it i also don't understand the comment it takes a long time to heat up well from the moment you arrive on a job to extraction is ages certainly plenty of time to heat up, you just manage your setup properly i plug it in long before i extract so its ready to go when i want it.

Have you been on a course?

Mpower is not for polyprop carpets.  Try spm or powerburst.

Use hot tap water.  It will not damage your machine.

Mark

Thanks everyone for advice.


I completed a few courses with Derek Bolton through Cleansmart, but needless to say they taught about Split-x and Wool-x etc rather than solutions products.

Maybe powerburst would have been better today, but I have heard that it tends to resoil quicker than low ph products. I have been getting some great feedback about lack of resoiling recently (cleaning with microsplitters) and am concerned about sacrofising it.

Ill try with hot tap water tomorrow

Joe if you still want one I have an unused one £325 mate

Might well do. My email addy is joe@carpetranger.com if you would like to drop me an email.

Cheers

Great feedback about lack of resoiling? How much longer after cleaning are you contacting your customers to check??

[james roffey]

Dont really understand or believe the "resoiling problem" with Powerburst who is claiming this as it's probably the best prespray around and used by many, if you consider that say 5 litres with treat say a three bed house and you are rinsing with ten times that amount in the tank at around 200/400 psi i would have thought that you are removing it with the extraction process, sounds like a good marketing stunt for the eco brand of presprays.
Why dont you try Shockwave from solutions or one of the stronger micro splitters from cleansmart you want something stronger thats eco, i use shockwave but still wouldn't be without powerburst.

A few friends have commented and someone posted on my facebook page.

Thanks, i'll do this.

Can't see how a Pre-spray, especially one as good as Powerburst can be attributed to rapid resoiling when there are so many other factors that could and probably are responsible for it. Powerburst is so well respected because of its ability to release so much of the soil in a carpet so the only reason for it being responsible for rapid resoiling is from not removing all of the loosened soil, which is down to the operator.

Would i be right in thinking that its slightly more sticky and soapy than an average microsplitter?

Maybe this could be to blame?

[*Hector*]

not if you remove it all

Joe,
If you fail to remove any Pre-spray then it will cause a problem, micro-splitter as well.
