2 inch vacuum hose is SO 1990's :shock: !

york said:Take a brand new slide-in 5009 (gas) and a 2001 Vortex 777 (diesel). They have they same blower (5009). Both machines receive "sufficient" power according to the blower manufacturer's specs. (I don't remember what the HP requirement is on that blower.)
Shawn York said:Larry - Just so we understand each other - You're saying that (All things equal - i.e. plumbing, wands, glides etc.) a 59 blower powered by a 40 HP gas engine will dry carpets just as fast as a 59 blower powered from a 295 ft. ft. torque diesel engine. Is that correct?
Shawn York said:1. I made a comment that there is a BIG difference between powering a blower from a diesel engine and powering the same blower from a similar HP gasoline engine.
Shawn York said:do you agree with me now that a diesel engine DOES makes a BIG difference when powering a blower or not
Shawn York said:Here's the subject: True or false? All things equal - i.e. plumbing, wands, glides etc. a 59 blower powered by a 40 HP gas engine will dry carpets just as fast (or perform equally on CFM and vacuum) as a 59 blower powered from a 295 ft. ft. torque diesel engine.
We then cleaned a area right next to that area with a Crossfire 4.4 with water that was barely 200 ATM. The results were the same.

Sorry, I've been cleaning everything for the last 1.5 years at 185-200. Now I run about 245 at the wand and it cleans better. No way around it, just a fact!!

DevilDog said:Oh my God! It is f'n comical to read some of these comments. NONE OF YOU CLEAN WITH STEAM. NONE OF YOU. If you are attempting to do that you are wasting a lot of time. REAL steam would not provide enough flow to clean a carpet well.
What is wrong with you guys? God. It is ridiculous to read what so called good cleaners are yapping about.
I remember when the Powermatic crew came to town. We cleaned a commercial carpet with the 2100 and got good results cleaning extremely hot.

It is sad to see the direction this industry is taking. Instead of cleaners learning to clean....we have guys that only think the equipment is important.
Just pathetic.

P.S.-Hey you heat loving whores...you are not cleaning with real steam...if you are...you are leaving a lot of soil in the carpet because steam will not flush.
bob an electric machine didnt reach that temp, a fuel fired heater didI remember the look on Shawn York's face in Atlanta at Duane's when he saw the 2 temp gauges (ATW) on the SAVAGE-1 TM (a dual wand thing going on during a cleaning demo) both way past 200º - It was a look of disbelief.
Our LP heater is capable of some dangerous temps. Ask Scott Rendall who saw the Steamway Lie Dectector (ATW) on the SAVAGE-1 at 302º at a CC gathering at his shop in Michigan a few years back.
Not to belittle the Vortex, I just smile doing that kind of heat with an electric machine.
Hope you are doing well Jimbo, and thanks for your email about selling on E-Bay.
Are there other threads with this many views??
Just curious!
