When will your tote along Booster Box be available?

 

[Brad_Smith]

"Sprayborg"? Horrible name. Must be a star trek fan.

 

[FB7777]

One observation, with the spray deck overhanging the front half of the machine wouldn't it be difficult getting the edges and leave it prone to marking up walls?

How about a mounting system that elevates the jets on a bracket that is flush with the front of the machine and angle the jets to the desired distance in front of the unit?

 

[Mikey P]

Good point Fred.

That thing is gonna kill wood work.

 

[Jim Bethel]

Fred came to the same conclusion we did when we first seen it. I understand why had the jets hanging over the edge, and on large commercial jobs, that system would be great. However, in a home?!?! And when it is traveling in the back of the cleaning van or truck, it could get damaged, or do some damage. So Tom and Jeff (who I hope will see this thread and come along shortly...) have redesigned it.

And the spray system can still be taken off and folded up small.

It also has a heater built in as well to our models we get sent our here to Australia. And they have been very, very well received.

damn slick.

 

[hogjowl]

You're so easy ...

 

[Mikey P]

How would you like it if I made that dorky picture of you the pic of the day?

 

[Jack May]

OK Jim, I'll cut you some slack, shoulda read here first instead of the Aussie forum.

Its not nice to use eNcAP (SHAMPOO) in a residential setting anyway.


HACKS.

Looks like a pretty slick machine. I really don't get why it would be a problem in the home though. Encap seems like the best choice for a lot of homeowners. I'm no carpet cleaner though.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'd like one as soon as I can hang on to a few $!

What's to stop you from apply your normal prespray via this sytem Jimmy? You can encap with it, yes. However, you don't HAVE to.

I have a Defender and I have used it to prebonnet before extraction but I use a multisprayer.


I sure as hell wouldn't use a tank.

Thats what the SHAMPOO snake oil salesmen want you to do and that is use plenty of their jUICE thru a tank.

Personally, I find I get more sq/ft from applying encap or any solution for that matter via a shampoo/shower feed setup that applying it with any type of sprayer. Shampoo feeding turns it into a foam consistency which I find goes further than when I simply spray.

Do you find Jimmy that it goes further when you prespray products do you? It must be different down here because we are upside down
