Now you're a neat freak

Did you on your big aluminum beast build?

I did originally. I just replaced the vac motors recently and forgot to specify the 2 in. The new ones work fine, but there is a noticeable difference in the air flow. I will order another pair and specify the 2 in. I may be building another one soon and am thinking of going with the 8.4's in parallel. Thet seem to all come with 2 inch openings. Vac's will be mounted with a similar manifold with no hoses. Just not sure if I am going to be able to run the pump with blowing the breakers

I thought this was a self bleeding system,

Self priming but you can still get air in there. I bleed all my pumps before I use them. Truck mount has a bleed hose built in and I keep a short hose in the portable bucket. Takes 10 seconds

I think my pickup is getting $hity, I'll try to get a photo. I almost want to do a smoke test to see what's blown, I like to learn more how you guys hooked up the vacs to your equipment, for me photos help a ton.

Seen better days

$75 with shipping looks like they changed it to brass fittings

Your Oreck is great for touch ups like this.

Scrub in a good encap juice with a red pad and finish up with an absorbent microfiber combo pad and you will be in and out in 20 minutes.

Also less risk of it wicking a second time.

That's funny, there was a wick stain next day, guy was like I know your back but do this first, what's a good endcap, sorry I'm on the learning curve, I like to try some

Can't go wrong with anything from Vacaway either........

Microfiber combo scrub pads 13"............

Anyone only using an Oreck to agitate is not taking full advantage of what those little gems can do.

Great entry level tool to the wonders of various VLM encapsulation cleaning techniques if you have not tried them before.

You will be surprised at how effective it can be, regardless if you can figure out where the dirt goes, or not............

What do you think of hot knife

 

[hogjowl]

Hot Knife is great.
And won't make you cough.

 

[Ken692]

Here I still use HWE

 

[Ken692]

I'm very interested in this vlm.
Took me 4 hours to fix this liquor store

What do you think of hot knife

I was using Hot Knife Extreme for residential work but I've switched to Encap Green for residential. I just seem to think it cleans as well or better, it's better for cleaning upholstery, and a slight nice smell. I still use Grease Hawg for commercial carpets.

 

[Ken692]

Thank you Barry.
I just ordered a sample pack of cleaning solutions and I'm just looking into vlm type cleaning.
I'll try to report my results

What do you think of hot knife

Both products have been around a while and are considered top-shelf juices.

Don't spend too much time deciding which one, just get a jug of either in your paws ASAP and start playing with it.

Any product that passes the rigorous testing and scrutiny involved in obtaining the Sutley Seal Of Approval must be good stuff.

Problem is it's a portable.
