1st cleaning with the 370

[Mikey P]

About time I started this thing up..

So nice and quiet..

Only a 25 psi drop at 400

Good time totest the new Hydroforce to see what it is actually putting out..

1st step..remove dog hair from Poly rug.

Produces 8 gallons of RTU as claimed, with the yellow tip.

With the 2 gallon markers it's easy to mix up a small batch..

Very nice setup all around, between the new machine, the devastator, inline prespray jug ( I love that one ) and of course the Seal A Door! Sweet!
How is the heat and vacuum with the 370? What do you think is the longest run acceptable for it?

 

[Mikey P]

While certainly no Aerotech, there is "enough" heat..

 

[Desk Jockey]

Looks like plenty to do most situations we would run into.

I first tried this Mach 12 in Vegas in September.


I need to use it more before coming to a conclusion but so far I'm loving it.
While it is a custom length for me, its very light, easy to toss around fully adjustable manifolds, secure two piece glide and believe it or not....

appeared to dry as well as the 2" wand I tested side by side.


with a 25 foot inch and a 1/2 whip..

Jeepers that's a narrow barrel.

Hell, my @#%$!& is thicker than that.

I've used my 4 jet (total 08) on a dozen jobs at 550-600 psi, she really warms up after about two rooms. Not like your Aerotech nor my pressure washer heater but I've been slowing down and doing more dry strokes and I don't miss the heat. I ran one of my 2 jets (total 04) at 350-400 and it stays 210-220 at the machine. Cleaned tile today at 1000 psi and yes it cools down, but to be expected.

Dig it Saiger..

 

[Mikey P]

nice working conditions today..

 

[hogjowl]

25' whip.

You're going to hell.

What an appropriate color for your door thingy.

 

[Mikey P]

I bet you wish you could Navasearch ICS now...

I'd like to concur, but it's a lie.........

It's cool until the cord gets tangled and stays curly... We had a worker who did that, it didn't last very long before getting curly...

 

[Desk Jockey]

We all lie Nate, sum of us is just good at it.

With proper and well formulated TACT, there is plenty of both to clean carpeting and tile



too soon to tell on the reach..

when we joked around a bit in Vegas about the whip hose and small wand being the way to go, I was mostly being serious. I know big powerful blowers and massive heat are kick ass but if you are an owner operator and doing this every day for thirty plus years like I have it takes a toll on your body. If your gonna be a one man show you gotta work smart. keep water flow and vacuum in balance and you will have great dry times. in the whole scheme of things what is one more hour difference in dry time anyway.
P.S the ease of handling saves a lot of broken items in those tight spaces.

I really like the SS machines....the 370 and the 570 in particular. I need to get out of that Tim the tool man mentality! I love the footprint of the 370.

Not gonna lie....I do miss the 25' whip!

1.5 hose, well these are very different times we are in, my friend, very different times indeed.

 

[Mikey P]

I think I'll cut it in half and Flash Cuff it together

may go down to 1 1/4 to0...

If there was a time machine, what would 2005 Mikey P think of 2015 Mikey P?

I'm thinking of the scene in Looper where the young "Joe" kills the "old Joe" to keep him from ruining the future.

Watch out Mikey!

I started as a porty guy, moved up to small 45 truckmounts then big 68's..

For my current situation this 46 and lightweight set up will be fantastic
