For such a tall dork, I've always had decent balance..

[Mikey P]

but never as well balanced as my current cleaning rig..

Seriously... For residential suburb work where most jobs are well under 200 feet, my system can't be beat.


The world's best selling truckmount, 370
A all metal Royal Vacuum for deep digging action
Royal/Dirt Devil for upholstery and stair vac
Still looking for a way to edge, the Pro Team is about worthless.
Moderate soil gets the 10" Brush Pro and a Mach 12 rinse
Neglected carpet gets the 360i and edge and a final groom dry pass with the Mach 12...

I'm using lots of Procyon and water only rinse. Almost all my jobs have been young families with young kids and babies on the carpet.
Omni and Dripods are delivering GREAT dry times. No/Low humidity helps the whole picture.


Good amount of tile too.
PMF Hard Surface wand is seeing lots of action, more so than the Turbo Hybrid. People are not that filthy here, thank gawd.


and yes a 15 foot whip hose connected to how ever much 2" I need to reach my 50' of 2.5.
300PSI on most everything, 4 flow wand, 9 flow RV.


Not high production but for establishing myself as The Premium Cleaning Service in town, it kicks ass.



and the word is spreading fast.

I'm glad you're feeling good about yourself. Congratulations!

 

[Kellie Hiler]

It's such a good feeling when you have all the right stuff and the knowledge and great customers to go with it!
I'm happy for you Mike!

 

[Mikey P]

Each and every component is a total joy to use.


Well, maybe not the 2.5 hose..



I did get 24 paint filters in the mail today..

$24 from that asshole Jeff Bezos

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Exactly... Speaking of the joy of using the right stuff....when will I get my Westpac?!
I am doing what you suggested and have been re using my filters and they actually last quite a while!

 

[Johnny]

Seems you got it dialed in. I don't see the Z word.

 

[Mikey P]

I don't know Kellie, Craig at Westpak was sent your info...

I know they had them in stock so it should be soon

 

[Mikey P]

Seems you got it dialed in. But I don't see the Z word.

My government contract contact has not produced any commercial work yet..

 

[Cleanworks]

Nice looking unit, leaves lots of room in the van. I use a lot of Procyon also but instead of rinsing with water, I make a slurry of Procyon plus powder. 32oz to 5 gal headpack and meter at about 2-4gals per hour. I find it cleans a little more efficiently and still doesn't leave any appreciable residue. Otherwise, I have to represpray certain areas. What temps do you average at 150ft?

 

[Mikey P]

220 or so


If I'm "just" wanding then yeah, I use a rinse agent many times. The brush head RV just kicks ass. No streaking, no post spotting unless I spazz and miss a spot.

 

[Mikey P]

those paint filters in the Devpro will save this waste tank.

If the fine crud I'm pulling out were being sucked through a normal pool filter, most of it would be cancer in the bottom of the tank

 

[Cleanworks]

Pretty powerful machine for it's size. I can't see needing more than that for residential and light commercial.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Are you serious with using only 4flow on your mach12 wand? I don't see how you enjoy cleaning if your flow is that low. I had that on my mach 12 for about 4months before I got to my senses and upped it a little bit.

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Is there any way you can use those paint filters with a standard Butler waste tank, no filter box?

This great after pre vacuum or before I usually pre sprays crb then hit edge that need it with this.

 

[SamIam]

Considering the wand is for a post groom mostly And Mikes already rotovaced it 4 flows fine.

 

[Mikey P]

When I get my No Name I'll set it higher..


Because I can.

With 4 flow in the summer you will have scorching heat in Nevada with your 370

I am running the Mach 15 with mine. 7.5 flow 300-400 PSI.
I 'm around 180 with mine ATM (Idaho in the winter) but it builds up to 225 fast once it's heated up and doing it's thing

Yes they should fit the box, there are two kinds of 5 gallon paint strainers, one has rubber band top and one does not. For the box I think non elastic top will work better for you as it opens up more so it may fit the box filter better, on the Dev filter the band just helps hold it in place as you install it back into the filter.
Go to any PRO PAINT store in you area, I just buy them locally from my Kelly Moore paint store in boxes of 25.

Love the set up !!

I was considering a Pro Team upright .. I heard it was the Lux knock off .. which I love my Lux Commercial

Have you had any issues with the exhaust seeping into the house when aimed at the front door? I use a rubber mechanics hose to steer the flow away.

4 flow on a 2 jet? Is there a 4 flow 4 jet out there?

 

[Kellie Hiler]

Why doesn't the exhaust go out through the van floor?

 

[TConway]

I am very lucky to have two buddies here in my town, one has 570 one has 870 and I have PC Legend. So we have every level of TM between us. I think the 370 is close to mine but with much newer tech so I am sure the performance level is several steps above my older PC L.
I have come to realize while the 870 is awesome....to really use it like it was designed to be used reps a TON of big work, it NEEDS a box truck due to its size and really limits what you can take in the van.
The 570 it awesome in a extended van and has plenty of power to take on some bigger sized jobs, and it size or foot print is not any bigger than my older PC Legend so even in my van it would be a awesome set up.
If I were to go brand new right now I would look very hard at the 570, but the real truth is the 370 would easily do my normal work load probably much better than my current PC L.
Most TM's are set at 13-14 Hg and the bigger you go with single wand operations the VRV is just working more at blowing off wasted energy. The biggest gain with larger TM's is the more BTU's being produced to give you more volume of hot water.
We are human and we easily get sucked into bigger is better and in some ways that is true but it is only 1/2" carpet fibers we are dealing with in the end.

 

[Nampa Carpet Cleaning]

Yep the 570 is the sweet spot. I think the HS 2500 would good also or Prochem PEAK

 

[Mikey P]

You shouldn't go through the floor on the Unibody Transit.


The Speedy Sweep version of the Proteam is not a digger or a groomer. I don't know if it's really any different than

?

 

[Nampa Carpet Cleaning]

^ Ya thinking about it. I sold my Ninja last year.


My ATV is paid for and for sale:

I just listed it last night and already had one text

Thats kind of a bummer that you can't go through the floor.

 

[Mikey P]

SV would be my choice.

A timeless classic at this point.


The Honda should come with a Starbucks logo on the tank.
