I f you don't have the salsa unit already on it then start there


If you do already have one then throw in the towel and get yourself a V or a AT

that's what I did..................

Ditto!!

You could add a extra heat exchange to it that would help.

 

[Rex Tyus]

How much more heat?
I don't have a CDS, but I do have a PTO. I see a propane burner in my very near future.

the thought of adding a Salsa makes me look to a little giant really quick.

The real question is how hot are you getting right now, and what is the total flow rate of the jets on your wand?

 

[c2csteam]

I'm running around the 200 deg mark and would like to see a little more, how much more would a salsa do on the temp? I like to see that you guys are trying to help thanks alot

 

[MicahR]

The guys in our area running a salsa are getting a constant 230 on the gage with normal carpet cleaning.

All of them that I know of except for one are running the Hydra Hoe for a wand. Prochem 4 jet is the other.

What type of CDS is it?

4.8
4.6
4.7
4.2

The model will make a difference.

 

[c2csteam]

its a cds 4.8 I would love to see a 230 deg on the Gauge more Ideas let me know

 

[Jim Martin]

My CDS with the salsa would push 220 max at the gauge...........and that is about all she will give you....................

My cds 4.8 has the salsa package on a ford 06 van. I get 230 at gauge on cold days and a little more on hot days. Hydramaster told me gmc runs a little colder than ford so I went with ford

 

[c2csteam]

were can you get an exhaust heat exchanger?

 

[Jim Martin]

Amazing what people will tell you and how different things change

I was told that a ford could not handle the idling and over heat and that HM only recommended the Chevy or GMC ........

 

[Matt King]

For the Ford/Chevy van heat issue, Look at the front end. The Chevy and GMC's have an almost wide open grille. The Ford radiator is more concealed. It probably does run hotter... I'd put a post heater LP/Kero in there if you want 230 w/decent flow rates. That's asking alot from a limited btu heat system. I don't know if the Salsa unit heats a large volume of water to keep up? Maybe it does... Either way, the best bang for your buck is a 2 or 3HT Little Giant imo.

I'll lay it out there...the Salsa is gonna run you some money!
And there is no such thing as free heat, you will have to run that blower hotter to achieve this. I'd like to see these machines with blower HX in 6 years, there is a cost to everything.

What good is 230º if your single jet is 5" off the carpet?

At higher flow rates you wold want some additional sustained heat at your dispose, LP post heat will be the way to go.

Meanwhile your running a V8 engine, and its substantial heat goes out the tailpipe....

I'm not running a single jet wand

 

[c2csteam]

How much would a other hx help to get the temp up?

HOW do you run your blower hotter?
