How do you guys clean the brushes on these crbs. I have used the Windsor Dri-matic for some pre-scrubbing and don't think it could be used to encap without cleaning the brushes.

I also have the Windsor drimatics too.
To clean the CRB units in the pics, there are 2 push pins going through the center of the brushes....real easy to push out and the brushes drop out for easy cleaning.
We sometimes just spin the units backwards from the normal rotation and things come out easy.
For the Drimatics, we were using our suction hose from the truckmount to also suck out the junk and clean. Every now and then you do need to pull those apart and get the gunk out and relube the ends where the brushes go.
These Other CRB units are way better I can tell you.

Mark has a good system.
I will also run the CRB on wet cement for about 30 seconds while pouring a little water to the side of the machine. This will flush it out very well. Some, I think George Valliant, use a remnant and wet the brushes. This is even better, but I have never been able to get this to work for me. The machine just gobbles up the carpet every time.
Also, I will take the brushes out and run them together in a bucket with a splash of Odorcide. Great way to clean them up. Always try to rotate the brushes, but I sometimes forget.

We will also clean our brushes giving them a soaking in the sink with a cleaner and then rinse. I actually will mix a few scoops of powdered peroxide in the sink water too.
Makes them nice, clean and bright

I have the strong and it works just fine. It replaced my very old and completely worn out Whitteaker. What about it don't you like.
its super quiet and works all day without complaint. I took advantage of the trade in offer.

well in short, questionable sales and tactics, overall dependability is still up for debate. That being said I am not one for knock off brands or manufactures who build clone equipment that doesn't even meet the quality of the original in the first place. I don't own Mytee equipment either.

I have the strong unit. Bought if off the guy at Mikey’s Fest in Las Vegas - it was a great deal (demo). We use it on every job. I looked at the unit from Interlink and it’s much more heavy duty. I haven’t seen the excellent supply version.
We use it on every job. I have some jobs that are so clean, we could go in the excellent supply’s encap - scrub it in and walk away - HWE the areas needed. We don’t do that, I’m just saying we could.
Take Ray up on his offer - you won’t know what you’re missing until you try it.

So it seems a pile lifter like the one from Kleenrite would be a good choice for real deep removal. Rumored to suck way more then the old Certified design.

Demo it Scott, lack of suck was an issue with the old school Pile Lifters.

I'm with you, the factory just down the road from me has no rental/demos. $2,400 makes it more then just another gadget.

They dig really well but the old school ones were not great on commercial and were just too heavy and awkward for residential.
For decades that was out main vacuum and I do believe that's why my arms are so long.
Carrying that bitch in was no fun.
