I agree with Ted on this one. Get a machine that can go to 1000 to 1200 psi to power whatever tool you buy.

I'd be careful moding your machine...the heat exchangers might not be able to withstand the extra pressure. They may be fine, but I'd have a serious discussion with a disty before doing this mod.

Do you know how much in U.S. dollars booster pump costs and where can I get it? Also will it work in conjunction with my truckmount.

You can still clean fine with 500 psi... 500 will still spin a turbo tool (i sure does mine) but I think in the 1000 psi range you're actually pressure washing the grout and loosening up grime that otherwise wouldn't come out.
When you get lower pressures it ends up being more of a rinsing and it's the chemicals and the scrubbing agitation that did most of the work. |

you can use a lower psi if you change the tips on the end of your tool similar to changing the end on a powerwashing gun. we find anywhere from 500 up works great with the right tip

The GPM is too low. Not enough volume. Should be at least 4 for some good flow

HOW DO YOU GUYS GET PRESSURE THAT HIGH???!?!? IM NEW TO THE FORUM SO BARE WITH ME..... I HAVE A HYDRAMASTER CDS 4.8 and i can not turm the pressure past 600 pounds or it will be in the red. WOULD YOU NOT RECOMEND CLEANING TILE AND GROUT WITH THIS MACHINE? I've been cleaning tile and grout for about a year now but only do about 5 jobs/week. It usually cleans up great but sometimes blotchy. I use hydramaster's QUAKE as a prespray, let it set in for 5 minutes, scrub the grout with a grout brush, then go over it with the hydro-force sx12. ANY RECOMENDATIONS? Thanks, Mike |

Agitation. Move across a floor to fast and you'll see the effect. Where ever the jet doesn't blast doesn't get clean.

Dennis seems to know alot about T&G
the only time I cleaned it I rented a little machine that looks like a GLS
it would pick up the crud and I would have to dump it now and then but it worked awesome
I have to wonder if these spinners and such are necessary when you can use good chems ,a mop and a scrubber instead and achieve good results |

Yeah, I was looking into a hard floor machine or OP. Can't justify a hybid machine that would do both carpet and tile, that can do 1200PSI as a portable. Thanks! |
