I meant for when you sell it so somebody can get a deal.
Do you have kids? That would help me narrow down when to look.

Hahaha ohh now I see the joke. Right over my head on that one.
No kids, so donât be looking too soon. Forget I asked for that promo code lol I saw the option and figured Iâd ask since a lot of guys here are friends with Tom. In other words, I took all of you guysâ advice and bought me a solid truck mount set up. Setting me back 25k, thus my âBDCCâ attitude @Nomad74

Anybody know of a good auto pump out alternative to the $2k versions meant for truck mounts?

how good are you at plumbing?
doesn't your El Diablo have a generator to run the fuel burner?
If you have 110vt available you can plumb a sump pump in the tank.
Appx $400 parts and a half day's labor cutting, drilling, plumbing and wiring
underground sch 40 electrical conduit makes the plumbing from tank out to "wherever" you want it a breeze.
water tight conduit fittings thru the tank and couple it to pump PVC stack using check valve boot
If you buy a pump that will handle sewage ('bout $200) you'll never have to worry about carpet lint and hair covering/restricting pump inlet
if 12vt is needed, there are a lot of transfer pumps available that can be plumbed in.
But don't know which ones are powerful enough to pump out while under 14hg tank vacuum

Look up hydro-force and search pump out. They have an inline unit that you can use with any machine. 120 volt. I have a couple of older versions, probably 25 years old , still going strong.

APO for Dragon for under $150
I made one. Worked pretty good for what it was. Not perfect but it kept me moving. I now have a real APO and that baby pumps. But if youâre on a budget, try this.

Howâs it going everyone? Did my first cleaning today (my famâs house) And for the most part things went pretty smooth. Something I kept having issues with was switching the solution line between tools. There was too much pressure to pop the line onto anything else without extreme force. What am I not understanding here?
Hereâs a couple pics of the job too

Turn your pump off, release the pressure by opening your courtesy line or bypass, go inside and attach your solution line, go back out and turn on your pressure pump.
One thing to always check before you turn your TM on is that your valve is closed on the solution line. Turn the valve on after you attach to your wand.
Ball Valve, 1/4" M x F
This 1/4â ball valve can handle high pressures, up to 400 PSI, without falling apart! It also features a heavy-duty shut-off handle that is easy to use and stays out of your way. Internal components are brass. Hex nipple must be ordered separately if needed.

Turn off the ball valve and pull the trigger on the tool to realease pressure. Every single hose should have a ball valve.

You need to put plastic tabs under the furniture legs to prevent dye stains or rust. Styrafoam blocks under larger pieces.
