Mytee airhog LX hooked to Prochem Legend

[bmxin]

Hello

I have a Mytee AirHog I was thinking of using in tandem with Prochem for a rather large Urine Water Claw Extraction(3rooms)

Mytee website says to make sure AirHog is running Prior to hooking onto Prochem. So the following order:
1.) Start AirHog 2.) Start TM 3.) Take the hose from AirHog and hook onto tm intake.

Am I missing anything? I believe this order is Crucial because if tm was started before AirHog the blower gears may be reversed.
The reason I thought of doing this was mainly because of using the APO on air hog so all the urines are out of waste tank and a little extra lift.

Does anyone have experiences??

Maybe because the electric vacuum motors might get to much pull starting while its running, or damage the brushes without power?

It's not going in reverse ever

thank you! Apparently this isn't a thing with #4 blowers as everyone at JonDon, Legend didn't know about this setup.
I know talking to some TM vets back in the days of many #3 blowers a booster was fairly common. You can't start a tm with a load? Meaning would I hook the already running AirHog to the inlet on Prochem and then start Prochem with Mytee load? Yeah probably overthinking but want to be safe on lower hour unit...I believe one of the mods here used to use AirHog with his SS Rage for this application

Does Mytee have a video??

I forwarded this to a guy who comes here once in a while, but isn't likely to see this.

He uses an Airhog and I'm sure he can help to give you an answer.

His answer:

Make sure your Airhog is running before you attach the hoses from your truck mount.

This information is correct, as confirmed above.

Thanks for the resource Jim!

I actually just tried it with correct sequence but only @50' and felt a little more purchase on the "chosen wand."

I doubt the APO on AirHog would be able to divert the incoming debris before Prochem grabbed it though, but the setup is so fast will be worth a try at 12 urine spots, 200+gallon job

I think once you get out to 200 feet the booster will help 150 or less isn't necessary.

Also a 1 1/2 inch wand isn't ever going to grab and lift carpet off the ground like a 2 inch wand.

Holed glides reduce the bite also, but make growing old easier

Yep all true.


The application here though with Mytee AirHog is for an Inline Pump out for large job.

I can go 400' by way of 2.5"@100', 2"@300 direct to 2" Prochem wand (old skool 18lb steel for max lockdown)

If you can see the stains, you would be better off using a stand on flash extractor. Once it's sucked down to the carpet, you can pour water or a deodorizer around it. You won't need 200 gallons for 12 stains or the booster.

I hear you let the flush pressure do the work and be on with it!

I didn't mention there is also 3 other rooms 500sf, 800sf lvt, 2 sets of 28 stairs. I've always wanted to see if Mytee AH could do this. I'll keep you posted.

*Almost was going to pickup the SOS stand on water claw with valve, anyone use?

I've used such a setup in the past and followed the start up instructions. it worked good.

I anticipate 240gallons extracted.
Only concern I have is Prochem will extract water in AirHog before 3.5gallon pump out on AH is dumped...

Make sure you have a fine Mesh filter in the Hog. Otherwise the Pump will fail. And The amount of recovered water will decrease if you fail to clean the filter.
