Art its MAGIC the wast water just dissapears in a cloud of steam!
I'll let John tell you aall about that bit

[John Kelly]

After a heavy 16 hour day I'll not go into too much detail, just winding down before I retire to my pit.
The Prowler sucks the waste water directly through the blower which vapourises a good proportion of it. The remainder is directed to a suitable drain or onto ground. or can be directed to a storage container.

So what would the total cost of the set up be?

[Liahona]

There are quite a few truck mounts that clean at 2000 psi. The Everest I think it

is called will clean at 3000 psi. Very little use for it I know and personaly I dont

like the machine but it doesnt alter the fact it can go to 3000, best, Dave. P.S.

Put the prowler in a very good second hand van and you will end up with a

better deal than the starting post is suggesting.

if you want to look at cheap vans then in my opinion the best place is vans direct based in wales i bought the trafic for thousands less and it was delivered direct to my door

[John Kelly]

Arthur....we don't lease vans.  The full cost of the Prowler is £5,995 (+ VAT).  The only other thing you need to get going is a Water Tank (we can supply these, all sizes).  I use a 400 Litre Upright which is £144 (+ VAT).

Cheers

Hi John,

 Sorry my question wasn't very clear, i didn't mean the van aswell.
What i was asking was what would the cost be with the prowler & water tank all fitted and ready to go or would i have to arrange fitting seperately?

Arthur

[John Kelly]

No fitting required other than the tank and steel cradle which is held down with 2 screws.

[Steve Chapman]

John,
Any chance of giving the approximate dimensions of the prowler and water tank?

And does the setup come with hose reel etc??

Cheers

Just opened my post  from Woodbridge.


says you can have ProMount 25 for £8 a day although there is apicture of a van Im not sure if this included.

[stevegunn]

I had a loan of a prowler for a week or so some  time back.Found it to be on par with my blazer does not take much space up either,you can easily remove it from your van if need be and it is easy to work on as you can get to everything quite easily.Paul King has his in a transporter and still has plenty room so a big van is not necessary.

Only thing I found was it used a lot of water but apparently that was my fault because I was not opening the by pass valve on the wand so it was dumping water when it reached temperature

[Steve Chapman]

Nice pic, helps to see the size of the thing inside a van, and it does seem quite compact  compared to other tm's.

[carpetclean]

not knocking the prowler but regarding space and compactness perhaps it helps in this particular picture that there is no hose reel !???

[David_Annable]

Hi

And no water tank.

Dave

PS That one has a Kohler engine. i've also seen Honda engined ones.

Which would you say is better.

[Steve Chapman]

You are both correct of course,  i hadn't thought about that, but the actual machine is still smaller , ideal if you have a smaller van

Steve if you have time on Saturday get yourself across to Woodbridge's Open Day.
I'll show you how I've got a quart into a pint pot so to speak!

In other words a Panther 20 with racking capable of holding 18 5ltr containers a hose reel containing 225' of vac hose along with a 50 gallon fresh water tank.
All in a Fiat Scudo.

Graham Boyle's comming along with me, he'll be the guy strapped to my back doors

[Art]

Dave,

 As the panther seems bigger than the prowler, then am i right in saying it would be easier to fit the prowler into a scudo?

Arthur

[Buster Ingram]

Art, the Prowler and your whole family will fit in a van that size

[Buster Ingram]

The only down side I can see is the fresh water tank, on the panther range they fit under the machine. The Prowler's will have to stand alone! Thus taking up more floor space?
