Apparantly you can fit a 135psi pump, but I was looking to see if I could fit a pump with a 350psi or there abouts to my back up machine (Any excuse to have a tinker about as my wife would say).... Does anyone know where I could find one?

I agree with you Darran to be honest, a bigger pump would be beneficial...

I know I had problems with my motors a couple of weeks back, but the service I recieved from John at "Extracta" restored my faith!

Have a word witht the guy who you bought it from.Am sure they would be able to fit a higher volume pump in it,as there will be plenty of room.not sure of the cost but would guess the 300 pound mark.

Dont forget you will need to do lots of dry passes if your going to pump mpre water on the carpet.

I've found a 135psi pump on ebay (Brand new and 10 available) £160..... Would the extra 35psi make much difference?

Dont think it would make more dif mate.

Have a word with john and ask him if you could get away with a larger pump ???

Sometimes the plumbing might need upgrading to cope with the extra water flow.

Surely more psi would require a vac upgrade.

Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

I did a commercial kitchen a while ago for £450.... Wouldn't rush out to do it again.... You're looking at £45-£60 on average, with practice you can be in and out in an hour to an hour and a half! It's not as lucrative as the carpet cleaning, but then you aren't using as much in the way of equipment...

It's a horrible stinking job, but when someone tells you their daughter thought they'd had a new oven put in after I'd cleaned it last week, it's worth it! Now where's my huge hat for my massively swolen head ;D ;D ;D

Yes the 135 pump will fit and you will notice a difference its a 1/3 extra psi, a twin vac machine will cope with 135psi easily.

Nae bother After 8!

I've put the 135psi pump in the back up exel, I'll take my good machine too as I'm working out of town and I'm worried something will give... I must say it doesn't read any higher than the 100psi pump according to the guage ??? ??? ??? Weird.
