Only 2 good acts tonight - the last two, plus Escalla.

[AJB]

The Ventriloquist was very good, but he needs to wear clothing
that covers his adams apple.
I didn't think Escala were as good as they were last year!

[daysdeepclean]

I Take it everyones been watching Britains got Talent, as it went very quiet
since just before 9.

Went to price up a  job, got in at 9.20 then proceeded to watch BGT.... Tried to vote and I couldn't understand why they weren't accepting my vote...

"Pair of thick Geordies won't let me vote" I'm saying to my wife...

"You daft sod, we're watching it on Sky+!" Didn't I feel stupid...

AJB you say you have made a vacuum booster yourself and i think there was a thread sometime back which showed the powerflite(that i have too) with a top mounted vac on it.Any idea where it was from   Regards Alan (swindon)

[AJB]

This is what i based mine on,

http://www.steam-brite.com/store/universal-vacuum-booster-p-4832.html

Mines not quite so elegant looking, but i'm thinking of making a seperate box
with 2 x 3 stage, and a short hose to connect to the machine.
The beauty of it is i can convert my machine from 2 x 3 stage vac' optimised.
To 2 x 3 stage air optimised in about 2 min's. Also great if a vac' motor goes down on you,
just finish the job only minimal down time.

The extra vac would make the Powerflight 1350 the ultimate portable 500psi plenty of heat also must be the best looking porty out there.

[Darren O]

Also like the look of the new Ninja.

AJB that steambrite looks the dogs but i have never bought from usa has anyone dealt with this company before do you know.Regards Alan

[Darren O]

Just spoke to someone from Steambrite they said the vac inside the booster would have to be changed to 230volts i asked how much extra that would cost he went away and came back with 2 options it would be an extra $200 to change or they could just sell the booster without a vac in it and fit a 5.7 vac yourself and that would $200 less than the list price.I asked if it was easy to fit the vac yourself and the guy said he didnt no hes never fitted one.

[from edge2edge]

Thanks for that Darren  although it has left me a little confused now as anything techincal just goes over my head.I suppose it might be worth looking to see if anyone on this side of the pond would fit the vac  Regards Alan

Powrflite PFX1350 perfect heat, sebo duo for agitation or cimex R48 if the cavalry is required.

P.S. As a youngster I used to shine shoes at the local train station - I used a Karcher industrial pressure washer and a 9" angle grinder for polishing off.

ninja 400psi............ sebo duo

earns me a 2nd living and i am happy with it!!!!!!!!

[SccS]

Prochem Powerplus Steempros twin vac, 500psi, with heat n run exchanger

Works for me!!

[Phillip Mold]

Ninja 400 psi, sebo duo and wonderwand.
Lots of happy custies.

[Len Gribble]

Mines a 135psi ninja don’t need a backup but if I did it would be Wayne

Phillip

A mate got perfect heat system with a wonder wand very very nice setup do you rate the wander wand

Len

[AJB]

Wonder wands are fantastic as far as i'm concerned.
Carpets dry very quickly, and i rarely use drying strokes.
To demonstrate to customers i run over a patch at 500 Psi, with no drying
stroke, and kneel down immediatley, no wet patches on knees.
If there was an auto fill and auto dump to go with the Powrflite, i think you
would have a great machine for commercial work. Each year i do 3 schools for
Worcestershire council, and wish i could run at 500Psi continually. Unfortunatly
at this pressure i'd be re-filling every 20 Min's.

[Adam Fearnley]

I got a CFR eco 500, a lovely, good-looking, powerful thing with built in heater and heat coils around motors, and topped with the wonder wand and CFR hand-tool makes it a deadly combination.  The best looking machine out there by far and with six wheels, easy to load/unload.

[Darren O]

Dont think much of these Perfect Heat Coils was using my Powerflight yesterday and must of knocked the plug out for the heater carried on without the heater to see how good the perfect heat coils were the water wasnt even look warm with the heater of but with the heater on it even beats my Raptor for heat and that was some machine for heat.

[Adam Fearnley]

If your just using the coils, as with the heater you have to hold the trigger for a while to bring the heat up through the pipe to the trigger.  I think the coils are supposed to heat the water to 30 degrees which might seem cold but its warmer than normal water temperature.
