The NEW Everest 870 reveal

[Desk Jockey]

I wouldn't agree with the Aerotec comment.

Lots of cleaners want the dual wand power. This unit will deliver it in a package that can be mounted in a vehicle of your choice. And at a price not much more than an Everest.

I would think they would sell plenty.???

You don't need to spend that much money for a truckmount that can successfully run dual wands.

There are other machines out there that will dual wand for much, much less in initial cost, and will not be so over-engineered.

It is "pretty" though.

A new model? Really? What was so wrong with the original issue that you needed to redo it? Really glad I switched to a company that doesn't constantly need to rethink squirt and suck.

Butler has the same basic power pack that they started with or copied from the Cleanco classic. They have made numerous upgrades over the years with bigger and better blowers, pumps, heat exchangers, tanks, shelving, etc but essentially it's the same basic design. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

What was wrong with the 650?

The engine was discontinued being number one..

But getting rid of these issues is a plus.

Easy clogged HX
More difficult belt adjustments
Flow disc maintenance

I think the problem with any TM is getting the warranty honored when there is no available service centre nearby. Unlike a vehicle where you can drop it off any dealership, a TM has to go to an authorized service centre where it is determined if it is a warranty issue or a owner issue. It's a problem when you live some distance from that service centre. I wonder how many times owners forgo the warranty and just do the repair themselves because it's cheaper and faster than having your truck laid up.

There are scores of warranty centers for Prochem truckmounts in the USA and Canada including BC.

Some people prefer a true manufacturer over a garage build. I'm not saying it's not a valid statement but I'd never buy a garage build.

 

[MerCrewser]

I still see the 1.6 on Zenith’s website.

I don’t like the bypass valve, unless it’s a new style that doesn’t wear out every 100 hours.

We only have 1 warranty centre here as far as I know and people don't like him. I have a friend with a 2 year old legend coming over Saturday so we can figure out why he has excess heat loss. He went to the service centre first and couldnt get any help. Whether or not there's a personality conflict between the two, I don't know. The next Prochem shop is a 4 hour drive away unless you know something I don't. We only have 3 legitimate truck mount dealers in a population of 3 million people and 2 of them are hydramaster. If I was a better mechanic, I could make a fortune.

I totally agree


But then most of us prefer not to pull up to job sites in soot laden rust buckets either

I won't address the personality issues, just that there are repair centers. Safety Express has one in Vancouver and Interlink Supply has a repair center in Seattle area (Tukwila, WA) which should be about 3 hours away.

When you hone those mechanical skills, let em know. I will have them send you a job application.

 

[Cleanworks]

I am not aware of safety express now selling or servicing TMS. I'll check them out.

It's not a personality issue. It's an azzhole issue. I know for a fact that some of the bigger restoration companies refuse to deal with them because of the issues they've had with them honouring warranties and other problems. Ron we need another Mel.

Mel was the best. If you had an emergency, he'd drop everything and get you back up and running if he could. I just got off the phone with Safety Express and they don't sell or service truck mounts yet. They say they are working on it. I need to start building and selling my own TMS. The market is ripe for it.

oh boy...here we go again.

Do you need a bucket?

I went to dinner with my buddy Lee Senter recently. He was in town teaching courses at Safety Express. My repair dude does a ton of fan and dehumidifier fixes for them. Might be time to go for a visit there.

Just don't make it in your garage and everybody will be happy.

 

[Mikey P]

Damon have you ran two 200' runs off your 870?

 

[Willy P]

oh boy...here we go again.

Just calling them as a lot of people see it. You guys keep bringing it up. I didn't say shit about who it was.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Canadians! I believe we are building a wall on the wrong boarder.

Good thing it's room and boarders and not the border.

 

[Willy P]

Or is it our drywall boarders?

This is becoming one of my favorite threads

Yes. Tom and I cleaned the Cal-Fire North Ops building. I was on the Zipper and Tom was on his wand. What a blast. Then when we do my Asian Buffet place we always Dual wand. The buffet is probably 250 ft maybe 300ft total. TM makes incredible heat at 20 flow.

Also ran out over 400 dual on a memory care facility. That was a long day.

I'll build it in my underground parkade.

Are you yelling at me? I feel like you are yelling at me? No? Where in Canada do you live? Asking for a friend...

Kidding. I am probably not the best person to comment on the Canadian economy and USD to CAD exchange rates.

After re-reading my ‘before morning coffee’ post, I owe you an apology Laura. I’m sorry that it sounded so.... asshole-ish.... as you are the face of Pro-Scientific here on MB, i was directing my frustration out on you unnecessarily, It wasn’t warranted or needed. I guess I went a little overboard.
Again, I’m sorry.
