Sapphire Scientific sucks

[GeneMiller]

and i mean big time. my new machine came in today. looks like it can really suck and spit out hot water. very impressive in person. the blower looks to be made just for them. it didn't have a name showing from a manufacturer. i didn't have but a couple of minutes to stop and look but its all new and shiny and has that great new smell. we will be installing sometime this summer when we get a little break. i was hoping to turn my current machine over and hit 20k but doesn't look like that will happen.

[bob vawter]

Before the price increase. he always gives me a special price because besides buying almost everything from him i let the machine sit on his floor. he can sell it if someone wants it. he can always order another. it can be my backup cause this machine has got to die sometime. the oil is a flying.

[Dan]

Sweet. I strongly considered one.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

The guys who designed the 405 did the 870 with the advantage of 30 years more experience and a blank sheet of paper.

Personally think this has the best drive line connection in the industry.

when i get some time i go in and pull the covers off and take a look.

Going to be nice. A true dual wand slide-in you can put in whatever vehicle you like.

That is an evil monster of awesomeness.

 

[Mark Saiger]

That does look pretty sweet!

Does Saphire own blueline? I have a blueline champ and its been running for years and I like the old fella but man it's a pita to work on.

I want my next truckmount to be a little easier to work on. A little more exposed..... If Ya know what I mean!

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Blueline was sold to Sapphire for the distributor network and mfg capacity. However they built their own machines almost from the start.

Former Prochem people from that area of AZ were instrumental in the creation of both companies, thus contributing to Sapphire's high level of experience in everything cleaning related.

That is one very sweet machine, mega power, like a "Binford 6100" on steroids, Tim the Tool-man certified and then some. You'll absolutely love that machine.

Nick,

If you like the BlueLine Champ, I can guarantee you'll love the Sapphire Scientific 370SS. Great performance and it's so easy to work on.

Give me a call if you have any questions on them.

 

[Mikey P]

Mr Truckmount Depot, would you mind shooting a short video showing us how to change belts, lube fittings and other common maintenance chores?

 

[Dolly Llama]

congrats, Gene!!

hope you get every bit and more life out the new TM as you have your nearly 20K hour current dirt eating monster


..L.T.A.

I heard the 870 came with the option to upgrade to a number 6 blower for a short period of time but they stopped offering it. I would be curious to know how the performance is with the 870 compared to the 650 hp. Very nice machine. I definitely want one lol.

 

[GeneMiller]

Had to go and get a hose repaired so I pulled the covers. Nice and shiny. Took some more but the url won't copy for some reason.

 

[Dan]

More more...

 

[GeneMiller]

Here's a couple more.

 

[GeneMiller]

I like that the chem flow is below the wires. It's nice so when it leaks as they are all prone to it won't get any wires.

Man that is a beast for sure!! I would really love a true dual wand TM!

Wonder why they are going with a steel frame(it's steel right)?

 

[Dan]

Beast for sure. I really appreciate the quality Sapphire Scientific is putting out.

 

[Lars]

Very nice! I think they run a Ford motor on it too, so you know it's dependable!

 

[GeneMiller]

Ford has a tuff challenge going up against that little nissan a15. Except for the oil leaking from every where is still runs perfect.

[GeneMiller]

I now officially have the itch to change it. Currently waiting on parts that were damaged in shipping. Also a little surprise they are sending out two recent upgrades. Don't know what they are yet but anxious to find out.

Looks great, keep the pics of the install coming please!

 

[Steve Lawrence]

Wow, looks great. Nice to see that a manufacturer is understanding that their product will need easier maintenance and repairs. I've had slide-ins that forced me to tears.
