Have only seen one. It was an older unit in for service at my local supplier. It had a #9 blower, 185 HP continental engine with a general 6gpm pump. They are really simple in design and for servicing.

May years ago John Sales was passing thru town and he showed up at my house with his demo truck. Had one of those massive units . Only know one guy in my area who had one. I think that it's a feeling that no two units are the same. But They appear rugged. Don't know about service or anything else . Ask Mikey to show you a video of when he went thru a machine with John.

#9? thats for what like 1000ft of hose? or 250ft with a giant vac relief wide open the entire time?

I curious that it would be perfect for hard surface career considering that it goes up to 2000 psi and seems to hold heat real well.

They'll get tired of Rob when Rob gives them the bad news that he's found someone cheaper who can build his tm's. He just needs a little time to find a welder to copy their design

Its hard enough to find a Jon Don, Interlink or independent that can work on a SS or HM.

The company is John and his son. John is older than Bob and his son set up the teemf deal so what does that tell you.

No two a like..



Unless they have a Butler level of remote service, which they dont, why would you bother?

A lot of people live in areas where you can't get service from the major brands. You have to find local people who service the components for other industries. Cat dealer for the engine, pressure wash dealer for the pump, etc.

I remember it had 4 hose hookups, my memory is not what it used to be but I believe it had 3 speed settings. I think if you go on their website they still may have info on it. The exhaust was like a 6"-7" steel water valve pipe laying beside the unit. The company used it to clean theaters and other large places. I remember Steam Actions brochure claimed it would run 4 wands at 1000 ft each. It was a beast.

Just went on Steam Actions web site on their gallery page. There is a Stealth 6 wand unit on a trailer and the biggest blower I've ever seen. Looks like they still make monsters.

My very first TM was a SA purchased thru Ed York. It had a #2 blower driven by a 20hp Onan engine. The water pressure and heat was created from a Hotsy Pressure washer. It actually did pretty good and I preferred this system over portable cleaning with the very heavy Deep Steam any day. This unit was sold by me after a couple years when I graduated to a Prochem 150 which made me a pretty good mechanic, LOL! The SA unit was probably a very early model for them cuz I've seen nothing they offer now compare. Good luck.
