funny I've been running a Cleanco for 2 1/2 years and never really a problem with the machine itself,maybe a hose or belt here and there

plenty of suction from the 47 blower (yeah I tweeked it a bit)

new ones come with a Cat pump don't they??? what's wrong with that???

 

only thing they lack in IMO is heat,that's why I added a kerosene burner and I get 280 at the machine.

 

sure has made alot of $$$ and happy customers considering it's a piece of crap

 

 

now excuse me,I gotta go put a new radiator in that van

A.K.A.

Your right Steamer they are to lazy, thinking always that it is not too cold out why bother. Keeps the mechanics busy making money.

Mr. Steamer:  When I was down getting some work done on my 405 there was a 405 that has froze up three years in a row getting all new heat exchangers. Some people never learn.Guitar

Thats right Ted...Thats how cleano goes free everytime. my old prochen is 10 years old... 6000 hours...lol beat that never froze ONCE...

I know guys in the GTA that freeze up and crack crap every few days...I could never figure out how a carpet cleaner ever would let his truck freeze even once.

It's interesting how we as suppliers have heard all the songs about how one unit is better than the other. Now if we are comparing mechanical components they all use basically the same manufacturer.

There are few choices in our industry for pump and vac motors. Pumps on truckmounts always seem to be a challenge as to the hardness of water going through or the chemical damage or freezing etc., etc. But TM vac blowers if simply greased and filtered well will take one hell of a punishment and keep ticking.

Cleanco offers a 5 year warranty as long as you perform the simple inexpensive preventative maintenance and prove it on paper. Yet 90% of purchasers choose to ignore the maintenance and void out the warranty.

One mans poison is another mans food, I suppose. As long as they keep buying them from you Ted, Kleenkuip will never be short of repair work, better stock up on all those parts. I still love that SteamAction I bought from you Ted, I have it all apart ready to install in my 1986 extended Dodge Van.......I love those old motors 318 2bbl Holly carb.................. Would never even trade it for a brand new Cleanco, ask Vincent at Fourniture Select how many guys wanted to buy that unit from me.........when they look at all the stainless steel tanks, Roots Blower that sits 3 feet high, and the split driveshaft gearbox off the transmission, then hear the power.......then they turn around and look at their unit slowly rusting away, floor is falling apart, sounds like a giant lawn mower with no suction, no heat, no pressure, & no value. Some are Cleanco's some are not........I'll tell you TED you should build your own and use my truck as a model.............you'll clean up.
