Sorry I was too tired last night to explain. I had the same issue. The plastic QD’s are crap and let in a lot of air. You need to replace them with brass fittings. Since doing this I’ve never had an issue.

Tom and I cleaned my Asian Buffet last night. I got home about 12:45am. It was a pain in the ass. Every time I clean this place they ask me if I’m moving the 35 booths. Every time I tell them no way. I move the tables, but not the heavy ass booths. I guess I can’t blame them for trying. My damn apo float and emergancy shut off float stopped working last night. I was shooting waste water out my blower. Also, Tom and I were duel wanding and the water box kept running out of water causing us to lose pressure. It really pissed me off! I may need to play with my incoming pressure regulator. Every single time I clean this place my floats go out. We’re pumping so much grease into the waste tank the sludge clogs up my floats. Every time!!!!! I love my 870 but it does have a few short comings.

HintHint! Don't use your APO on those jobs stupid. Better yet, don't clean any asian food restaurants stupid, again! Triple better, quit cleaning restaurants after dark, stupid again again!!!

You have a 100 gallon waste tank. Take a break every 2.5hrs and dump the tank. My tm rarely shuts down on a full tank. I could see the need on a job over 10k sq. ft with dual wands on carpet that has very little debris. But a restaurant? Do you just use your fancy tools because you think you need to, or because you just want to get on here and talk about how you dual wanded? LOL STUPID!

I hope the audience has enjoyed my daily Damon rant and rave. More will come when he brings up another job. Stay tuned

APO is necessary for large volume jobs. Tom and I were dual wanding and both of us were using high flow tools. We actually work pretty damn fast together. Everything is fixed now. I soaked the float in degreaser and sprayed it clean, but after inspection I saw the breaker had popped. I think what happened is the hose kinked and caused the breaker to trip. I didn't see it on the job because it was a little dark. Also , my tank is 120 gallons and it fills up very fast with two guys using 12 flow wands.

Why so hostile today Matt? Did your goat buck you off as you were mounting it last night?

Loading, unloading tools and hoses in the dark is a pain. I ordered some led light pod things made for under your truck bed rails th as t I'm going to install in my trailer today. No more stumbling around on the dark packing up.

Yeah. I agree. I have really good lighting in the van but the side lighting where the tm controls are located is sad. I need to do something about that.

I’m sitting in my van not wanting to work. Its pouring rain. I gotta clean this place and do a carpet repair. I’m just not feeling it today. I think I’ll go home and watch my bonnets dry on my bike.

So you just dump your truck on site? All that dirty, greasy, soapy water going down the storm drain?

For really shitty jobs why don't you guys buy a catch can / by pass pump out?

We make them here in Australia. It's a little acrylic clear box. Inside there is a defector screen and a small submersible pump. There is a port on the back that connects to your machine and a port on the from that goes to your tool. Before the water makes it back to the machine it enters the box, hits the deflector, falls to the bottom and is pumped out.

You could implement one of these instead of a filter box since there's not really any need to filter too much. These submersible pumps will pump so much shit you can forget the filter and just go.

I have 2 of those. About 25 years old. Super reliable.

She’s waking up to the pain
Her BP is still too low, so they’re being stingy with the pain meds
She’s being a polite,humble trooper like always
I’m being an asshole with everybody
She’s going to get relief
The administration rep is coming see me in a few minutes
