only the one I saw when Steve Smith and i visited your home in '02 (??)
as well as one of the Summer fests ..Baltimore maybe??
I'm presume they were the same generation?
(if not same unit)
and saw the one you had at MF in Nashville a few years ago.
was that the latest generation??
Terry had a lectrobox there too
any lectro vacs and pump that can run on two 15a cords total, are portys, Bob
hooked in a van, or on dolly wheels matters not...cause they're still portys performance wise to the guys who've been running med size positive displacement blower TMs for years
..L.T.A.
I remember your visit in '02. However, we didn't even operate the ETM because you were here to see Steve run his stuff. Baltimore, yes I was there, but you didn't see the unit operate there either. Same in Nashville, you didn't stop by to see it run, but I understand you weren't interested in one so that makes sense. The one in Nashville was the final generation.
However, I am going to take issue about your statement that anything that runs on only 2 -15 amp circuits total is just a porty, and has no truckmount performance.
Today we took out the ETM because the slide-in van broke the serpentine belt. Here's a video of the ETM cleaning, using only two 15 amp circuits. I think it rivals many gasoline truckmounts just as it is. 230 CFM, 600 PSI PumpTec pump (also a 1200 PSI Cat pump for dual wands and tile), 30 GPM APO, screaming LP heater (set today at 190º) (you can hear it in the background at the van), normal cleaning strokes, no genset running, 100' of 2" vac hose (even left the hose in the garage coiled up to reduce the vacuum), and parked inside the garage because it was raining today. The system has separate modules so it can take on any shape you need for any job - something a porty can never do. We did 2 dual wand jobs with this ETM today, and the final one wand job shown in the video. Yeah, I know, you saw a pool filter, but I have a few of them, and they do work. Does it sound like there is any restriction at the wand using the pool filter?
Zee, this is also for you because you said the vac with your ETM at 35 feet was not even close to your TM. That should not be that way.
