Hi everyone,

 Alltec have today produced their first triple vac machine and they will be showing this model at the carpet cleaners day out on 6th April. 

Its specification is:

3 x 3 stage vacs
600 psi pump
3 kw heater
2" port

the machine will run on 3 power leads, the 3rd of which will need to be plugged
in on separate ring main, i.e. upstairs
 
price £2,500 inc vat (machine only)

Today I have placed my order for the second one!    This will be ready in two weeks time.

regards rob

Go buy yourself a weights bench as youll need strong arms and back to lift that.

Is it fibreglass or plastic.

Im sure it will win in the beauty stakes as the scorpian is one ugly machine.

Core splash the cash!

You do know that white fivers aren't in circulation anymore?

Who had the first one?

I aim to have the machine by the Christmas rush or sooner You must let us know how it goes... The 3 lead is a bit of a pain, but as long as at least one of the leads is long enough, it should be fine....

One question did pop up in my mind though, what if your working in a bungalow?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Is it 3 cables for sure?

We bought a twin vacuumed Advance a few weeks back and have been really impressed, both by the machine and support.

With the extra vac you will have to be careful not to swallow custy's carpets, pets and other unsecured items!

Do you all think the Scorpion will stay cold water only or maybe work on being able to offer the option of built in heat (even if just from the marketing perspective)?

Just asking so please don't shoot me down :-)

[jacko]

The Scorpion can be bespoken to include a built-in heater.

[Chris R]

How hot will the water heater go ?

Most high pressure water pumps cant handle more than 50 ?

Ashbys 400psi ninja is set at 50 max.

regards

Chris

ps  how much for the scorpion rob 

[robert stubbs]

 Three leads, 1= 2 vacs
                      2=1 vac +pump
                      3= 3kw Heater
Bungalow, kitchen on one ring and rest on a second ring.


 Make me an offer Chris,

You have got yourself a good set up mate

With a good back up as well i can see this being a big seller and myself might be on the waiting list

The power leads will take getting used to

[Shaun_Ashmore]

It'll be like having a dog walking service with all of them leads, remember when playing with a heater to have plenty of rubber plugs, fuses and screw drivers on the van, circuit breakers are good but sometimes they are more hassle then what they are worth.

Shaun

[clinton]

Your right shaun its pushing the limits for  the circuits

[Shaun_Ashmore]

You can't win!

I'd put it on the van and use it like a TM, just need a water tank to keep it filled up wouldn't worry about dirty tank I'd just empty that when it gets full and it'll keep space in the van and weight down.

Definately get 2" thick pipe as that is the best thing and a 2" wand as drying times half.

Shaun

[clinton]

Thought might be a 1 and half extension hose at the end maybe and stick to 1half 2 bore wand?

There again it will just take time getting used to like  the quad(millennium)

Right on the t mount and just dump the water as you go 

[robert stubbs]

Because of the body construction it  will hold heat (like a  thermos),so heat water during pre- vac/spray/agitate and then turn heater off.

  My Aqua 40 holds heat, same construction.

 Regards Rob

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I have a 2" wand and a 1.5" and the 2" out dries the other by far and for no extra work, wouldn't use a whip although 2" takes some getting used to at first, I know have 2.5" on my TM and sometimes the carpet feels dry as I'm cleaning it.

Shaun

[Shaun_Ashmore]

That's a good idea unless you do long hose runs, you'd need serious heat like the top of my missus head at the moment! "you're going violet , Violet!"

Your right on the keeping the heat also you ahve a little lid dont you on the alltec to cover the clean water tank

Shaun

Your right Think i would go for the 2" upgrade too to help drying times

[richy27]

All sounds very impressive and keep us up to date on the machine will be interesting to know how yo get on with power source and tripping rcds on 3 vacs but i suppose if you had too you could run off 2 with no probs. whats the weight of the machine must way a ton
