With all these heaters, high volume pumps and all these multi stage vac motors. How many times do you trip the breakers and what guage is your your cords? I know with the Kleen rite machine I have no trouble tripping breakers when the secondary heater is on. I don't have as many problems with my pbIII single cord.

Do most of you just use tap water temp or does your machine have a heater?

When using my portable which I rarely do...I always try to plug into the stove, because it's got that nice 30 amp fuse....(always have a few extra fuses if your a portable guy) or the washroom with that nice trip plug...and if you cord is long enough down stairs right off the electrical box.

If you find you trip breakers alot you might also change the cord on your machine to a heavier gage, something that allows the power to flow faster and allows for that surge of amps once your heater kicks in, or your vac boosts up
