If you turn out to be a good carpet cleaner and enjoy it you'll be strong those other services in no time.

Well see how things go.....Trying to figure out what equipment I will need to get started. I am planning on buying a Sirocco Vacuum this year for my pressure washing business. 400-500 cfm with 16hg.
I will be running a fuel burner coil, I use it for pressure washing.
What size pump will I need ? gmp and psi? I was thinking 2 gpm with 1500 psi.........Does these pump specs put me in the ball park?

The average carpet cleaning set up is closer to 1.75 gpm and some much lower. The psi for cleaning carpet is rarely over 600 psi and the average of the guys I know is much closer to 400psi.

Ken would I need more Gpm if I was to run two wands? I was planning on using a pressure regulator too.
