Change that filter box to a 2.5 opening and you will be amazed at how much more you can get out of this machine....

Jim I appreciate your confidence in the Thermal Wave and George thanks once again for your "compliment" on our product management decisions :roll:

A significant reason that we have discontinued the product is that the General Motors engine which powers it was discontinued from production at the end of last year. Since the engine is the heart and sole of a cleaning system we made a decision to design a new model the 870 which quite frankly out performs every other machine in its class by a mile. The 870 is powered by a Ford engine which we have been assured will be in production for at least the next 5 years. So if you like your Thermal Wave be prepared to Love an 870.
