Hi, the name is Gord, run a small carpet and furnace cleaning service near Edmonton, Alberta.
I am running a 24 year old Aquatech system that is driven by hydraulics. Is there anyone else out there running this machine? Just looking for some input on this unit from others.
Thanks Gord |

Hello Xenon, I purchased an old Aquatech truck mount two years ago and put it into a newish very nice looking van. Bought it at an excellent price but put a fortune into it to bring it up to standards. I loved this unit but I guess it looked too good and was stolen from my lot. My other Aquatech story is that in the 70's we had steam offs at conventions in Toronto to prove who had the best truckmount. The manufacturer from Edmonton came in to show off his new Western creation. We were all impressed by his automatic hydrolic hose reel. While he was standing at the back of the van someone pushed the engage button. The wheel spun and the end of the solution hose with the large quick coupler swung around and hit him in the head and knocked him out cold. I think a few guys felt sorry for him and chose his mount over the rest. What a way to sell.

I bought the unit for the price of $1.00 CDN including the van. The van itself is a 1980 Ford E-250 with 1 ton rear springs and has only 68500 kms on it. The unit was well stored with antifreeze in the lines so no damage occurred. The unit has 397 original hours on it. The unit was stored on blocks in a guys barn for 20 years!! The only thing i have had to put into it was new high pressure hose (the 2" suction hose is still in like new condition) a new end cap for the heat exchanger (i blew it out in the winter) and a new coupling between the hydraulic motor and the blower. All in total I have put in about $600.00 CDN. So far I have made enough to pay for it 50 times over. Oh and it still makes 204 degrees at the unit from a single huge heat exchanger. Next step is to purchase a Prochem 4 jet wand

I didn't think anything stored for so long could still get hot. I'm in my 50's and haven't been stored for a day in my life and I can't get hot

You should look at the 4jet chem-spec wand on our site, it's a deal. It is also just like Pro chems.

Steamdragon I would create another " Steam Off " but I'm afraid Pad Man may come and make us look bad.
