Looks good! If I were running a three man crew, that would be the model I'd choose

Congrats!!

Overkill for one wand,and my unit isn't small(hey, it makes me happy)! It would be like getting a vortex to run one wand..

In the Prochem line up, an Apex is all you need for one wand. The Peak is more reliable imo day to day, but I think I'm going to stay with the Apex.

I'm telling you that's my next machine, I'll run one wand and 2 on larger jobs. Here's the thing this thing is gonna get you more consistant heat and great vacuum.

The 570 has great heat but it can drop at 12 flow wide open for a long time drops to 195 atm but it heats quickly.

My Apex has more then enough heat ,it dumps water it's so hot(I'm at 9 flow, but I will bump it up to 12).. I would just guess if your not running two wands it would dump even more. The water box has a 140 degree valve so either TM will only get so hot. I guess you could always run it on the medium setting, but then what's the point? My Apex will hold at 230 atm all day, so figure 200 atw.

Seems like you've changed your song since the last time you told me two vans with smaller units made more sense.
I sing many tunes, none of them well. :biggrin:

All our slides-ins are old skool Prochems with the big Nissan powerplant. I wouldn't want my lawn mower to have a bigger motor than my TM. :winky:

What is over kill, especially if it runs easier on the engine, hotter on ther heat exchanger, and super great on vacuum/suction?

We run our vortexes single wand most of the time and have never once wished I had less power, not once.

It's a waste man! You can only get so many CFM's through the wand.. I understand with multiple trucks it takes the shitty equipment factor out of question.. I do send my guy with the bigger truckmount for that reason. I make them happy with a 24 horse and a 45 blower, and don't advertise(except SM)..

I hear you able but going from a legend se 4.5 blower to a 405 4.7 blower there is a huge jump in performance more heat and suck.

The legend we only had a 20 hp engine. It was a good machine great vacuum.

The 405 is more in the apex performance range.

Billy not a fan of the vertical tank, no experience with one just not a fan.

Have you had one of those tanks before?
Any vehicle away?

Other than the fresh tank the install and truck look good.

Congrats now go and get to work so you can pay that thing off already.

I looked at one just like that but my distributor talked me out of it. I like the small footprint.

I've owned truck mounts that didn't have enough power but never one with too much...like saying too much money... Big machines give you options you don't have with small, less powerful machines. Looks great in the van. Congratulations!
