Max PSI for Scrubba Delux.......
« on: July 29, 2009, 02:26:30 pm »
I am happy to say that the new Alltec Advance Triple Vac is amazing, but I started having problems with the wand which seems to be blocked from day 1.... So I got the Scrubba Deluxe out , turned the PSI down to 200 and couldn't believe how clean and dry the carpets were after only one dry pass.....

I know some of you out there run a Scrubba from a TM, but what's the max PSI you run it at?

Good to hear you like your new alltec.

Not sure why the wand is blocking what psi do you have it set at ???

Probably a bit of debri somewhere in the line from manufacture and now its worked its way to the jets and blocked. Probably sort that out easy.

I have used mine upto about 300psi but it doesn't clean any better that way. Just uses a whole lot more water. Also on a porty if you have an inline heater the water will be cooler at the wand because it will pass through the heater quicker. I reckon between 100 and 150 is just about right.

Thanks Nevil, does it handle the extra psi with no problems?

Yep no problem at all. But as I say the benifit of using that extra pressure is more than canceled out by having to use more water and cooler water.

Also you will notice that as you pull the thing along it leaves two water trails, one each side. I think this is because the extra pressure widens the spray fan. Causing it to run down inside the machine. If I were you I would be selective about where you use your Scrubba. Using the wand on light to moderate soil levels will get a big benifit from the extra pressure. You may need to get smaller jets in your wand if it been set up for a lower powered machine.
