[bob vawter]

it's a Wanner Hydra Cell....and if you have ta ask.......

you can't afford it.................!

































j/k...they go from around eight or nine hundred for a brass headed one to well over 1500 to eighteen hunnert for a SS like on mine...some are more!

i LOVED that movie...the needle in the back of the neck freaks me out.............

 

[daniel@procarpet]

I really want to see a genie run.

Is it hx or propane.

If it is hx, how hot does it run?

 

[CarpetKING]

Oil fired l believe

 

[bob vawter]

NUMBER ONE....i would NEVER leave an unattended fire in my van
NUMBER TWO..HX is free all day long...plus you don't have ta worry if you got enough fuel to finish the job....
NUMBER THREE..no diverter valves..
no solenoids..no vacuum pods..no couplers
no lawn mower engines.../


Crash is SUPPOSE to put a video up soon....

 

[Chris A]

so what's the real scoop on 03+ vans, how much more of a pain are they to install into. Also what are the specs on your econogenie?

 

[bob vawter]

up to...and including 02 Chevys......my granddaaughter could put one in...
after that it gets a little more complicated
specs?
The only difference is a USED blower.....
and
$5000.00 make yor own Wastetank(easier to ship)
$6000.00 comes wit a retrofitted to the larger blower...wastetank!

Find a low milage 02 van..$4000.00...
buy a $6000.00 Genie
complete Direct Drive Systen....10 GRAND...can't beat the deal!

yor OTHER choice is buy propane forever...OR
smell lik Kero ever day when you come home!

If it is hx, how hot does it run?

liquid heat transfer, Dan.
It uses the van radiator coolant to run thru a HX'r .
It's one of the more (most) bullet proof reliable type of HX'r

as far as heat, 200 give or take in summer, 'bout a buck-eighty in winter..depending


I've seen Bob's work.
I bust the Ole Boys chops for fun, but his re-builds really are top tier


..L.T.A.

I agree 100%!! Top notch work, very reliable system!!

thanks Larr...i forgot to mention that my pimpOgenie uses a BUTLER HX'er...can't GET better than this...............

 

[Desk Jockey]

If only you could have put that sucker in a new truck, I'd have bought one years ago!

How big a waste tank can you put on it?

 

[bob vawter]

1 hunnert

 

[TimP]

Bawb just for future info. It might be easier than it used to be to put one in a newer van with drive by wire. I have a box under the dash that hooks to the computer that idles the engine up electronically. Butler uses them too. The device is like $450 bucks, I don't know how it hooks to the key on the machine and the parking brake/shifter but that's all I think there is to it. I think it might read those things from the computer and just have a switch to the key which also engages the clutch.

This is what it looks like

 

[bob vawter]

cool thanks Tim...the larger problem is fabricating an additional belt system on the front of the motor...
this involves an extra pully mounted to the harmonic balancer wit a tensioner....it's not exactly rocket science......but DOES involve a lot of time!

Buy the part from Hydramaster, or Cleanco. I don't know if butler would sell the parts. They have them already figured out cause they obviously put a clutch/pto on my belt system of my 2007 van.

 

[bob vawter]

yes.......one could do that.......
and the end results would be prolly the best damn TM made!

That sounds ideal for residential work.

'maybe i forgot to mention...The Steam Genie is a
Dual Wand machine!

now you just fell off the work bench........

[bob vawter]

now what's that suppose to mean?

 

[bob vawter]

Once again....Larry don know squat.....
DUAL WAND MACHINE!
two 100' runs are perfect!

 

[Bob Savage]

Bawb,

And how's the heat when using dual wands?

Is it the same as 1 wand, or is there a drop in available heat?

PS - Get rid of those 2 -90's coming off the tank too.

 

[bob vawter]

ya Bob the temp DOES drop about 20*.....we used the dual wand seldomly......
it's hard ta do wit a one man crew........
let me ask YOU one.......
i see you build 'lectric TMs......does this involve running an electrical cord or two into mrs Phiffs house?

also...what kinna ports shouda been used on that tank.......
I'll hold Shawn F's ass on a fire for that!!!!!

 

[TimP]

Those plastic 90's are very restrictive, I don't even think they are a full 2" opening. A smooth flowing curve is better than an abrupt "L" shaped pattern. I'd like to change mine out on my CDS eventually.....but I'm a BDCC and have been doing without with no problems.

A smooth flowing curve
