So today was obviously the first day. Sunday the heat didn't seem quite where I expected it. Today
it was just what I was expecting. It easily held 230 ATM regardless of what I did set on medium heat and medium speed. I decided to do a little testing on the second job. The carpets were trashed and really needed flushing. I had Cody clean the entire area with the trigger pulled. The gauge never moved. There was lots of furniture and chairs to move, so I moved everything completely off the rugs. We finished up with the three rugs. I set the zipper outside and locked the trigger. All the furniture was replaced and I took a couple calls. The heat was still at 220-230. I watched it another 2-3 minutes and it would drop to 220 then go right back to 230. The pressure was 600 with the trigger pulled. I cranked the pressure to 1000 at the machine and it dropped the temp to 195 but it held there. I let it run another couple of minutes but it never wavered. I did a quick test of the different temperature setting but I didn't see any difference from low to high. If you turn it off you see an instant difference. I'm not sure they are or aren't working just yet. I'm sure there is a way to check other than watching the gauge.
