Water box

[Louis]

I have a TM I'm rebuilding. It has a home made SS water box that is less than a gallon. I know this will work for carpet cleaning but when I tile clean I'm worried it will not fill fast enough and starve the pump. The cat pump only has 9 lives.

How big should a water box be?
Should I just put a larger fill vale on the box?


Thank You

If your running off a tank then fill it with the extreme series 5.7. It will keep up no problem. That's what I've been using and it handles tile or dual wand no problem.

No freshwater tank, just a small water box and the fill vale is small. How much water does a spinner move @ 700 psi?



Thank You

It's not the size of the box, but how much the valve flows at tap water pressure.

Most of them at 40 PSI (considered "typical" water pressure) flow 5 GPM or more.

Is the fill valve replacable? I'd change it to a bigger valve if you can.

If your hooking up to the house water I can't imagine it not keeping up with anything you have. Your pump won't put out more then the water tap can supply unless your fill valve is awfully small. Run the machine wide open with the solution hose open and see what happens. I'll bet it keeps up.

The fill vale was 1/8" tube. I replaced it with a 1/2" fill vale from Orchard hardware.


Thank You

How you doing I have this water proportioner in my genesis and have run two turbos at same time at over 1000 psi and never have a problem. I have the 506 HYDROMINDER you can also meter you rinse
