[bob vawter]

Jim, i'd love ta hear some olf those stories...........prolly lik some of mine...huh?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

No doubt Bawb!

 

[Mr.Truckmount]

The emulsifier used was 8.5 PH

 

[Jim Pemberton]

"At least he didn't booby trap the other units or "set up" the other guys with "special dirt" that only certain chemicals could pull out."

I was giving you credit for not "cheating with strong stuff" like we used to........ok?

 

[Mr.Truckmount]

THANK YOU!

 

[Greenie]

Maybe Frankie is a little sensitive? Obviously he needs more time here on MB to understand the twisted sense of humor we have.

And please, would one of you Admins remove his ability to SuperBold script and take away his color palette? Thanks.

Frank, post some pics and specs of the other machines in your shop, or recent installations, even an older Victory or two if you ahve them pimped out.

Mr. Truckmount wrote

The Genesis59 nor any other Powerclean unit have any problems when properly serviced & maintained.

Now I don't believe anything you say.

 

[Mr.Truckmount]

If you don't believe it is your choice.
Hundreds of customers I have sold these units, are very satistfied with their TM's.

 

[Shane T]

I believe there are some very happy customer. Your comment that there have been no problems with Powerclean units

The Genesis59 nor any other Powerclean unit have any problems when properly serviced & maintained.

is blantantly false. From day one I have operated my unit within recommended peraminters and performed meticulous maintenence routines, still I have had problems beginning the first week of operation. I can accept an occasional break but not to the point where you cannot trust your equipment from one day to the next.

 

[Blue Monarch]

Any reason you're dodging questions?

 

[Chris Muetterties]

Can someone tell why I never knew that the Genesis has been around for 15 years ?
That is very impressive !!

 

[Mikey P]

Not only did it maintained 280 degrees, it also dried carpet within a few minutes not hours.
All attendents viewing truckmounts saw it, at the end it was the most viewed TM.
Units like this have runned 12-14 hours straight without any problems, and with good maintenance can last 15 years plus.

WOW I had no idea that the Genesis had been on the market for so long, Well done Power Clean !!

He said can last 15 plus years.

Frank, post some pics of your shop. (It's very nice). Full inventory of PowerClean TMs, Mytee products, Pro's Choice chems, and much more. He also has used TMs and vans.

Back in 1977 when I was 18, right out of high school, and showing truck mounts, we had a "secret formula":

We would add a gallon of Prochem Wide Range Industrial Cleaner to our truck mount's stock solution, which brought the pH up around 12. It worked great on restaruants and apartments, which is what we usually got asked to demonstrate on.

Prespray? What's prespray?

A Prochem salesman from a nearby state used to make a mix of oil and dirt that only would release with this stuff in his mix. At trade shows he'd put it on "his" carpet and dare anyone to outclean him.

Then one day he got brave and poured it on the Hydramaster guy's carpet in front of a bunch of cleaners. The Hydramaster guy punched him out right there in front of everyone. That was the end of the "special sauce demos"

Those were the days.......

Now I'm a middle aged, IICRC shareholder/instructor, and I have a salesperson do the demos and I make him prevacuum and use all of the "right stuff".

I'd no sooner tell him what I did then than I'd tell my stepson the stuff I got away with in school that I'd ground him for if I caught him doing today.

TOO FUNNY ! Sounds like the truck mount wars back then were definitely more volatile . I wonder how Baneclene survived it all ?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Randy

Bill Bane quit going to the trade shows and outsmarted all of the rest of us by doing his own shows and developing his own following.

Stanley Steemer used to sell a "super portable", but got tired of the wild and crazy carpet cleaners and started a franchise instead.

Last night it finally dawned on me why I like MB so much: It reminds me of the "good old days" when no one even knew they should be politically correct in the industry.

 

[Mr.Truckmount]

Greenie I will post some pics tomorrow!

 

[Dolly Llama]

Frank, is it true you purposely disabled/modified the heat by-pass system to achieve higher than normal factory temps??

I don't care about that AS LONG AS, you tell it like it is, and NOT represent it as the "norm" that comes from the factory.

you'll find that if you're up front and honest around here, you'll be welcomed.
However, if some of us perceive you're just another shady salesman....

we might rip your face off and feed it to the barn cats!!!


..L.T.A.

 

[The Magician]

Jim P. I remember those demos and the Salesman and his company. He must be retired haven't seen his name for a long time.I don't know of who threw the punch.

Larry your right the Geni was modified for super heat and run at higher rpms. I know of no other Geni owners that get that kind of heat. This saleman is up to the 70 tricks.

Do you even need to ask?

I would hope Frank would fess up though.

 

[Ron Werner]

the only thing I can attest to is that the geni had a lot of umpf at the end of the hose. I had my finger in the hose cuff and the cuff collapsed under the vacuum. Had to pull off the cuff to open it again.

Frank used the Geni to clean a 4ft square of the carpet I "prepped" for the vacuuming demo. It was still damp after sitting in the sun a couple hours later.
When I vacuumed the next day, most of the sand was gone but the carpet deodourizing powder was still in the carpet. I'll get those vids up in the next couple days.

As Les had pointed out there is only so much air gets through a holed glide, or any wand opening. How much air was flowing through the vac relief?

 

[Jim Pemberton]

Jim

The "oil spiller" passed away a few years ago. Even though we were both Prochem distributors, he truly did not like me.

But I respected him because he showed it and never tried to stab me in the back. He would not speak to me or shake my hand, or accept any peace offerings I sent his way.

But he was totally honest, and I found his straightforward contempt strangely refreshing.

The guy who hit him is still in the carpet cleaning industry, but no longer in distribution.

Those old Ohio Carpet Cleaners Association (predating the UCCI) were wild shows sometimes, were they not?

 

[Mr.Truckmount]

I never said 310 degrees came from the factory.
I modified same temperature control, modified same main heat exchanger, only about an hour of labor and no parts.
As far as the vacuum system goes its all factory, except for the 2-2.5 port upgrades.

 

[Chris Muetterties]

How many years has the Genesis been made ?

So you weren't demoing fair then. None of the other TM were modified and then u have the balls to say the other TM can't keep up.
where are the Vortexs??

 

[Mr.Truckmount]

PowerClean has manufactured the Genesis for 14 years and most of the units are still going strong with remaining life expectancy of at least 5 or more years.

To Magician
Most truckmounts won't keep up to their top factory settings at constant cleaning, my demo was not on how hot the Genesis59 got but
that it can keep up at 280 at the wand with constant cleaning, however it does stop at 310 at the unit.
Heck if I let it get as hot as it could get it will surpass 350 and hoses will start blowing up.
If no one else modified their truckmount settings was their choice however what difference have that made, it would not be necessary because it would not keep up anyway.

 

[Greenie]

yea, that pretty much says it, Frank had it dialed up, not exactly fair and he made no bones about it, told everyone with a set of ears he had done so, I guess he was jsut trying to point out the Geni had a lot more potential that could be made use of with a high flow wand, but you'd never need it with a stock wand that is sold with the machine today.

Still would have liekd to see the new Diesel D-XT59, she is purty.

 

[Jimbo]

Frank has moxie!
