This is what happens...

[Zee]

...when you have enough heat and suction going through your pos inline filter and it collapses in, over and over...

So pissed...I still have about 5000sqft to do here today and this crap now leaks a lot...

 

[mirf]

I like sapphire box other than it takes up room on the truck

 

[Mikey P]

The Dwell Pro caused that?



dude, get a Devastator...

 

[dgardner]

Bummer. Time for a stainless Devastator?

 

[dgardner]

Oops, Mikey beat me to it....

 

[Zee]

No...the El Diablo set at 230 doing large volume of water (tile grout cleaning).

 

[dgardner]

They say you can fix anything with WD40 or duct tape. This looks like a duct tape situation.....

 

[Dolly Llama]

had the same filter ..it collapsed mytee bad too



..L.T.A.

Heat exchange ED or fuel fired?

Heat exchange ED or fuel fired?

Fuel fired...

 

[hogjowl]

Anybody know if you can get anything other than warm water out of their heat exchange unit?

 

[Zee]

Maybe at 4 flow or less...other than that, I'd say it's a joke. Mine is the diesel burner and I run 10 or 20 flow depending on the job and it gives me plenty of heat.

 

[hogjowl]

You run diesel or kero?

 

[Zee]

Diesel. Kero is incredibly expensive around here and I never had problems with smoke and diesel slime deposit inside the van. (like Larry always says)

How much lint/hair n crap was in the filter before the implosion?

 

[dealtimeman]

Just duct tape it and flip it over where the cracked side is up. Finish the job today and buy a new one in the mourning.

Pool filters are a two year replacement item in my opinion, now devastators and lil better filter(as Long as you don't shoot it many, many times) should last you a little longer if you care for them.

 

[Zee]

How much lint/hair n crap was in the filter before the implosion?

Nearly zero. Filter socks get replaced before each job and sometimes even during a job.. These Mytee filters tend to collapse with the heat and suction even if there is only water going through and no lint bulit up.

I have another lint filter (new) at the shop, just need to cut the end opening for the 2.5" hook up.

I'm calling BS....there is no way you're going to collapse that filter

 

[jcooper]

I'm calling BS....there is no way you're going to collapse that filter

Lol!

 

[Zee]

Yup! I didn't believe it would collapse, when it was brand new....

It held up for a while pretty good and then I got a replacement when it started collapsing.... But after a while they all start collapsing.

(I think we all have the honeymoon periods with the latest-greatest stuff we get and progressively become smarter with experience. This wasn't my first post about the filter collapsing btw)

 

[Mikey P]

A while?

How about two jobs...

 

[Zee]

They both held their form for more than two jobs...more like a few months and for some reason they start collapsing more and more. Airflow and heat stays the same... Kind of weird, how this plastic weakens after a while.

funny thread.....kinna like our economy is fixin' ta do.................

With that prediction, we should be good for a decade..

 

[bob vawter]

[Mikey P]

Epson salts will cure all that

 

[Goomer]

Can't expect too much from a proto-type.

 

[Dolly Llama]

It held up for a while pretty good

mine too
maybe 600 hours???

in general, we don't have any big jobs where the TM runs for more than 3-4 hours at any one time.
where/when it collapsed we were running 8 hours continuous and into the second or third day of that

Once it collapsed, it started collapsing on every job large or small after that

I never had problems with smoke and diesel slime deposit inside the van

Zee, Marty thinks propane is dirty

..L.T.A.

Haha !! Wow !!
