More Pics On The Genny/Thermalwave Swap.....

[rwcarpet]

A few more pics as I get the Genny swapped out for the Thermalwave VortecII. It's been a long week and a half.

The Genny being hoisted via cherry picker off the trailer for it's long awaited "rest" and refurbish.




A few shots of the inside of 03 Chevy Express. Actually more room, even with the waterpond.





Now, out to work tomorrow.

Must really like working on those cpmplicated machines.

Sensors , wiring headaches etc.

Great looking machine.. good to see you upgraded into something nice. What about your van? The side door area looks nasty.. hopefully you paint and clean that up before customers see your nice looking TM.

Yep....body repair in the next weekend or so. Whenever I can free up the van for a day or so. That was cause by a leaking, old Kinetico water softener.


This was about 10 minutes into a job today, using a higher flow wand than is called for, with wand constantly keyed.......medium speed. This machine never wavers in RPM's, even with the wand drawing higher HG's on drying strokes.

Nice looking unit. A wire brush and some paint would help it blend in with the new unit.

Wanna see what 10,000 hour Genesis looks like in Doug's world?

 

[dealtimeman]

Yes I would.

 

[Doug Cox]

I have a leaky unloader otherwise that water mark wouldn't be there.

 

[dealtimeman]

and a side pic of the frame, i want to see all of the rust, but from looking at your setup i don't think there will be much of any rust.

 

[Doug Cox]

No frame rust. It's stainless steel.

 

[daniel@procarpet]

Doug that is awesome!

I wish mine had been SS framed. Is the waste tank SS or is it steel? I like how PC raised the frame up off the mounting tabs. Gives more clearance under the machine, air circulation, and the bottom frame rails aren't exposed to any leaks on the floor. Or at least it looks raised about an inch. My mounting tabs are just a 1/4 inch lower than the frame itself.

 

[Doug Cox]

Stainless frame and waste tank.

You have to be one anal asshole to keep your truck that clean.

Oops, sorry so maybe you're not anal but you're still.......


Nice looking TM!

You should see how lint free he keeps his sweater vests..

 

[Desk Jockey]

I have my doubts if this guy is even a carpet cleaner. I'm thinking stock photo.

 

[Doug Cox]

That there is the reason I don't need a "Back Up"

Got my invitation today from the "originator" of sweater vests. Couldn't find a pic of Coach Tressel in his vest.
