A friend of mine had an electrcian make him a 220 splitter that allows him to use the washing machine plug in to hook up both heat and his extracter without blowing circuits. Is anybody else doing this? Sounds like a good idea for Recoil 3 users wanting to add an electric heater.

There are 4 different types of 220 plug-ins. There is a 3 all straight prong, a 3 L-shaped prong, a 4 all straight prong, and a 4 L-shaped prong. Which one did he make or is there a way to interchange all heads?

Some customers will frown on this.. And it could be a big hassle for you.. If its in the far end of the basement then run your cords all the way to your van.. 100's of feet of ext.cords.. No Thanks..

NO!--as John L has recommended.
There are other ways of generating some terrific heat--CONTINUOSLY----unlike electric. Ed Valentine |

For me,
This set up is ideal. I do a chem-dry like Low Moisture cleaning for residential work. I use my portable for Condos on the beach. More and more condo Rental Managers and Head of Housekeeping are going back to Hot Water extraction. So Hooking up to a washer/dryer or Stove 220 plug with a splitter is a decent option for me because the units are ALWAYS unoccupied when I clean them. Where do I even find a propane heater set up? I've heard of them but never saw one anywhere. Barry Edited by Laserman - 01/December/2007 at 11:42pm |

You can find them on the Internet, everywhere.

Each Condo building I clean for has a rental manager and rental office that rents the units out for the owners. each building may have 40-150 or more units under their control. Most of the owners live out of state and only come down here 1-2 times a year. So the rental manager is the customer I'm cleaning for. 99% of the time I pick up the key from the office and never see anybody else other than the office worker who hands me the key. A splitter would work great for me in this situation.
