To all you ex-ChemDry hacks, tech question..........

[Nate The Great]

I have a local cleaner that is getting out of CD franchise. ChemDry wants the guys RX20 back and his control panel for his portable machine. I needing the heads up on this stuff to relay. He paid $3600.00 for the RX20 and IMHO he bought it. A bunch of BS if you asked me.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

 

[Bjorn]

the devil is in the details he should check all the fine print on his franchise contract with chem who

 

[dealtimeman]

i wouldnt give it back unless they refund all the money i paid for it then i would gladely give it back.

 

[Nate The Great]

After getting more info from him, he doesn't care about the rx. Wants to see if he can rig the portable to work after giving back the control panel? We haven't seen it the porty yet, but think we can make it work for him. Does Kleenrite private label for CD? Maybe there's a replacement control panel to replace it.

Why not just sell it to another CD Franchise?

I bought a cts 450 at a auction I own a steam cleaning service. I want to modify the 450 to a pressure pump has anyone ever done this I own the 450 out right no ties with chemdry

Finda a pump with the same foot print and upgrade all hoses and fittings too the proper pressure and heat rating

@doylebloss may be able to help

Paul, I would call the HydraMaster Tech Support line at 1-800-421-1306 on Monday and ask them about it. I am sure someone could do it for you but since that machine was made exclusively for ChemDry, we would not have made a conversion kit for it. I let our guys know you may ask them the question.

thanks the compressor does not work on the unit I had to modify and in stall a portable compressor to use the unit ,it just don't really clean dirty carpet at 125psi I also got 30paks of the natural with it I got the unit with a van for under 10k . I want to figure out a way to use it and not lose my investment the 450 vac is really strong and it has a flood mode I like everything about it but the low pressure it only has 600hrs on it also

hey doyle I did that the tech acted like he didn't really want to help me he also told me to call chemdry they told me I could be sued but its my unit I payed cash that should be between them at the guy that went belly up

 

[GeneMiller]

ashame you couldn't get pictures of the components before the panel went back. It has to be just over the counter components. Switches and relays. Go online and fine a picture of the same unit and look at what it is.

 

[rick imby]

Use an electric pump... Power it from the house

Pretty sure you could mount a pump there. Install a catpump and make sure your hoses are rated properly. Its been a LONG while since I have seen a CTS in person to remember how its all routed.
