That's impressive! 8)

You're a true craftsman, you sure produce a great finished product that you should be proud. The real bonus is owner gets great value for their dollar too.

Those are some meaty bearings in the Wanner... Did the original Genie come with stainless doodads, or is that a Bawb custom improvement?

what kind of heat can one expect from your machines and will your machines work off of a fresh water tank and waste tank?

Whats the price on those beauties?

I'mma get a Bawb Steam Genie someday soon. The price is right even for a true broke dick like me. Of course I'mma have to piss Bawb off and install a freshwater tank.

Vin,

Yeah they'll work off a fresh tank, gravity fed, the hydracell just pulls the water through. Only a few reasons why the steam genie would have probs.

1) Run out of water(Re-prime) -sucks sometimes takes a while depending how long you let it suck air for
2) Run out of chem (Re-prime)-same thing
3) SUCK ROCKS INTO THE PUMP CUZ YOU DIDN'T PUT AN O-RING WITH A STRAINER IN THE GARDEN HOSE AND TRASH A PUMP(cough cough). :roll:
4) Your waste tank float sticks
5) Your dumbass runs the van out of gas
