The machine is running great. the machine does not have a diverter valve. it has a thermo valve that is on the water box keeping the water at a steady temp when it heats up.. the valve opens when the box gets to hot and is attached to the waste tank and the vac sucks out the hotter water letting cool water enter and thus keeping the temp regualted.
The machine keeps the water super hot even when its cold as hell outside. was 20 deg outside and was still putting out crazy heat.
I will say this, When i bought the machine i figured that it was gonna perform like an entry level machine. but its was better than that. i have a friend with a
boxxer 427 and at 150 ft of hose you still cant tell which machine your hooked to.. The rage is easy to operate and just very impressive..
and its a really good looking machine.
my setup consists of the rage, a 90 gal waste tank, water softner, inline water filter, 200 ft of solution hose and vac hose.
i do not have a onboard water tank,
I do not have auto pump out yet. looking to get one soon. however it cleans alot of carpet with the 90 gal waste tank.
i have a inline hydroforce filter i use when i know im gonna get alot of hair from pets etc. and i mostly just use the one thats built into the waste tank.
Sorry everyone for not keeping up on the thread.
but 1 month later i am still just blown away by how well it works.
I will say that if you live near pembertons they do a great install, and the customer service is exceptional!
