My Cleanco, after 15-20 minutes running, is PINNED @ the TM to 240 ( the highest the gauge goes). it’s blazing hot, not measured ATW. I opted for the ‘post thermal increase’ when I ordered it. All I know is, I can’t touch ANY metal parts on my wand at all…. My helper uses a rag to move hoses (goodyear Neptune), and I have issues on almost every job I do. It tattoos almost any carpet it touches. We have learned to keep it moving constantly, and where we can’t move it, we use towels to protect surfaces.
I overspin my rig by about 600 RPMS… and have been doing that for over 7 years.
Yeah, I know ‘you’re going to crater the machine’…. Well, it’s been over 5800 hours , and nothing yet…

Shut up Marty. I run it like I like it, my machine, MY CHOICE.

Have you considered increasing the flow on your wands to help maintain the temp if it's making dangerous heat like that?

There's times when 225-240 is needed. I don't clean museum carpet very often like the 370 guy does.

When section 8 and some neglected apartment carpet needs cleaned, (from your comment above) 200ATM isn't enough
That was a typo. My unit runs from just a tad bit under 220 (like around 215 or 218) up to 225. I’d say 220 is the average.

But Mike’s correct. Extreme heat is overrated. Remember, we both ran Vortex’s. We’ve got experience with 230 -240 all day long.
