Mike you are so cynical, what's the point of Jordan having big boobs or suspenders on? if it looks good to the eye and is a talking point it's worth having.

Market it as

Computerised carpet cleaning

Advanced methods of carpet cleaning has hit the homes of Manchester, Clinton Neyland regional carpet cleaner of over 20 years explains that with super cleaning power carpet and upholstery can be safely deep cleaned and left virtual dry without causing shrinkage or mildew smells all because of the on board computer system that detects where more cleaning and flushing is required on certain dirtier parts of carpets and suites.

Clinton says "This takes the guess work out of where the heavily soiled areas are and the computer takes over and flushes the dirts and residues from fabrics and fibres without harming them"

I think you have hit the nail on the head Shaun, it's mutton dressed as lamb (cynical sarcasm in one sentence  :) )

If the electronics bits do clever stuff that gives you optimum power and extends lifespan of the components then that's great. The looks are a bonus.

I think you have lost the purpose of the machine and what it does.

Mike, I remember my dad being just like you in 70's-80's, "I'm not changing my car for one of those fancy things with electronic management systems. It'll never last in cars, cars and electronics don't mix!"

The pump IS Digitally controlled to ensure the right amount of solution is metered to it, wether working 10 feet or 100 feet away. The level sensors detect solution in both clean & waste tanks so it will switch off element when running low, or switch off machine when the waste tank is full. All these are designed to extend machine/component life.

As stated before this is NOT going to be a machine for the fence sitters/sceptics

Am going to keep this page :)

A good marketing flow you have come up with there,sometimes its the best way rather than spend hours writing and changing things around on a piece of paper.

The first Prochem Galaxy's had a bladder waste water system. They didnt have them long and they switched back to a normal waste tank after problem, I believe. I had one and although it was a good idea to use just one space for clean water and waste water, in the end it wasnt as simple as that.

The waste tank isn't a bladder,  the waste tank is the space around the clean solution tank (between walls). This is totally seperate.

Same statement applies fence sitters, sceptics, cynics dont bother it aint for you!

It's growing on me now. ;D Hat's off to Tex for having a go.

Flow volume thing sounds like billy bollox poor excuse for a small pump though. Next year there will be a big pump option for sure.

One again Mike you have failed to understand basic concept. Big psi pump- small bore hose  pumps running on bypass, displaced heads large volumes of moisture atomising in room, lower psi pump with large bore hose will produce "flooding" out through fibres with lower atomisation also prolonging life for the pump. I had a hybrid style pump running in my old Ninja previously for nearly three years before the pump head failed.

The pump in the EMV will rpoduce up to 160 psi BUT it is capped at 100 BECAUSE THE FLOW OUTPUT is more than required.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A LARGE PUMP UPGRADE BECAUSE THERE IS NO NEED

same statement applies it aint for you fence sitters,sceptics or cynics!

I get your point and maybe it does have to be seen in the flesh.

Come back in a year about the pump size and make me eat my words. ;D

History suggests that the first model of anything leads to something more powerful and more featured.

Mike.

hopefully Mark will take a stand at the Cleaning Show, dont know if he will though as I've seen the order books and it looks like he'll be v busy. Pehaps if not then i'll take it to Carpet Cleaners Day Out.

To be honest I found it hard to believe that it could produce the level of flow at t jets but again its something you have to see. One way or another hopefully you'll get to see one.

regards

I really like the sound of this, the single vac' low psi pump criticism was made about the CFR, but anyone who used one, really used one, knows what a fantastic machine it can be, in the right hands.

What's fascinating about this new machine, is the ability to use it as a combination machine, with rotaries and h/w/e.

Sure, it's NOT a t/m, but not everyone wants a t/m and I reckon the engineering has been well tried and tested over the past three years.

I was going to say CCDO would be a great showcase for it.

As you said Robert, it's only when you use it you appreciate what it can do.

I have "hammered" it over the last five months and it has produced results beyond my expectations. I know of two major companies/franchises that are looking to take it on after having  trials.

Yes hopefully CCDO will be a good opportunity to see it.

Maybe able to "prise" Mark away from his Dungeon to come explain / talk on the project

The Prochem Galaxy bladder system was based around Dave Lee's colostomy bag :o
