Prochem Performer?

If you're into reading manuals Prochem has them here:
http://www.prochem.com/partsmanual.aspx
The specs are in there - though it would be a lot easier if someone who knows them all could chime in....

Cub was entry level, Bruin II was liquid cooled but not the big Nissan. The Performer was the Nissan with more lift 14-inches of merc, than cfm. The 405 was same unit as Performer but with a different blower.Its blower had higher cfm (405) and lower lift 12-inches of merc.

Performer has a 45 and 2.5" air plumbing
Performer 405 has a 47 and 3" air plumbing.
Despite the slight "spec" differences in lift ratings, the 47's 40% extra cfm makes a huge difference in cleaning.

And dual blower filters in the waste tank vs. single for the performer.

Cub was the predecessor to the Blazer. The Bear/Bearcat preceeded the Performer & 405

We had an 800A and loved the Nissan so when they came out with Bears & Bearcats we moved up to Bearcats. I think we had 6-at one time.

Thanks guys, that exactly what I was looking for. Was looking at a deal on a Performer but I don't think I would go back to a 45 blower. Especially since I believe it would be under-driven.

actually I think it has 3.5 inch plumbing off blower and 2 1.75 inch openings at front of machine. the 405

That's OD (outside diameter) of each.
I remember that because I told my son to get 3" hose to go between blower and silencer. Wrong! I needed 3.5 to go OVER the 3" ID pipe nipples.
