Ed or Ken, Whats your opinion on the Powr-flite BlackMax? A CCer on TMF bought
one and posted about it. It seems no other porty has that inline heat system.
Those coils heat up the water before going into the HE's but will they premature
the life of the vac motors from the coil heat? You both sell Portys so try to keep
it real. LOL! Stern Smile

We have the same system on the 4 vac Titan machines as an option John. It has very little downside except for the extra room it takes up in the shell. Capturing the waste heat gives an extra 20 degrees or so. Since most electric heaters don't boost much more than that, you can gain a total boost of near 40 degrees by using both heating methods at the same time.A good idea for most.Smile
PS- You get more heat boost using the 4 vac system than they get drawing heat off only 2 motors.

John,
 
In regards to my own opinion, I must pass on this one. Why? because I do not believe that it is the best interests whenever another manufacturer such as myself, makes (possible) negative comments on another product. My view has always been that as in any Industry, there are OK products; GOOD products. And then there are GREAT products too.
 
Therefore, I will not make my answers to your questions on a public forum. Just not honorable or respectful IMHO.
 
very best;

Logically....of course you will.

 I have used a Black-Max with the "perfect heat" system....worked very well! I would add a fresh bucket of room temperature water and in less than 5 minutes; a steady supply of very hot water!

Ken,

 I didn't realize that the TITAN came with the "heat" option....much less with that technology! 

Wouldn't the coils draw the heat/absorb the heat away from the vacuum motors?

Wow, the TITAN with close to, if not as much vacuum power as a TM and a built-in heater, with the heating boost system?
....I'm impressed even more now!

Let me make sure I have this right....

I can get the TITAN X5 extractor with the following standard features: ADJUSTABLE 500 PSI PUMP,  AUTO-FILL AND AUTO DUMP OUT CONNECTIONS WITH CONNECTIONS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, 4-VAC SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS CLOSE TO; IF NOT AS MUCH SUCTION POWER AS A TM, AUTO FOAM DOWNER, CIRCUIT INDICATOR LIGHT, PNEUMATIC REAR WHEELS, 5-INCH LOCKING CASTERS ON THE FRONT, ALL SWITCHES ERGONOMICALLY LOCATED WAIST HIGH, MODERN, DURABLE AND LONG LASTING ROTO-MOLDED BODY W/10 YEAR WARRANTY, ALL OF THIS IN ONE UNIT "OUT OF THE BOX" FOR UNDER 3200? THAT'S AWESOME, LOOK FORWARD TO UP-DATING TO THE TITAN....very appropriate name!

OPTIONAL FEATURES/ACCESSORIES...I'M ASKING?

HEAT W/HEAT BOOSTER SYSTEM?
50' AUTO-FILL HOSE?
50'DUMP OUT HOSE?
25' VACUUM HOSE?
25' SOLUTION LINE?

ANYTHING I LEFT OUT?

Thanks Ken,

Hey Nathan112,

 I thought about the Ninja Warrior, great looking machine, heard some good things about it's cleaning abilities as well, but you cannot get Auto-Fill and you cannot get Auto-Dump Out, also, they will only put 2 vacuum motors max.

I need the extra vacuum power and the auto features because I do primarily commercial accounts.

Thank you for the suggestion though!

Make a TON OF MONEY!

But can yours make a great cup of coffee or raise your IQ?
Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

I agree with you. It is good to hear both sides of every debate so that you can make up your own mind as to where the 3rd side lays. That would be the truth.
