barry;
I honestly can not rememebr "WHEN" we have ever had to send a motor replacement to anyone, period. And I'm not kidding either. However, to answer your question, one year warranties exist on all equipment under normal operating use.
Ofcourse, this does not cover the following: Product in a house thats burning down; Dropped off the back end of a truck while crusing down the highway; Product that is stolden or repossed by ones bank or lease Company; Product smashed via a forklift;....................I'll think of several others that a few Operators have asked about over the past 30 years. (not kidding either, just ask Ted!)
Seriously tho, I can't imagine how any water could "leak into" the vacuums or vacuum exhausts the way it is designed and engineered. has to be foam, period.

No cracks anywhere? No pin holes? Where is the leak coming from? Got a picture of the motor compartment? The water leak may be a symptom whereas the source is the problem. As the line goes in Short Circuit "more input"
Doc, my arm hurts. Not as useful as Doc, I fell off the roof and now my arm hurts. Need to determine why/how. Edited by Soil Lint Green - 03/March/2008 at 2:41pm |

Ed,
I took the Recoil extracter out of the van. The van carpet is SOAKED. I set it on some concrete, came back later and there's water underneath. It has a small leak. What it could be, I have no idea. I'll have to take to repair guy. I'm not using it right now. I can't do any prespray at all or water is leaking out the exhaust. With this leaking situation the recoil is unuseable to me until the problem gets fixed. I used my Galaxy extracter today with the Drymaster tool. I presprayed and no water leaked out the exhaust at all so Something is seriously wrong with the recoil. I'm pretty disapointed and I feel like I wasted my money on this unit. I'll have the repair guy call you when I get the recoil to him. My Wife is pretty pissed of that I bought this extracter. Barry |

Definatly sounds like a leak Laserman. Make sure the repairman uses the dye soution test if he has any difficulty finding that leak. Way more water involved here than any foam would cause IMO.

Barry;
I would perhaps check and see if the "leak" is coming from where the stack pipe goes into and through the recovery tank. Perhaps you untwisted it (??). Another area to check "may be" (??) where the dolly handle is attached to the solution tank by 4 bolts with washers. Did you install those snugly enough?
These are guesses at this point however, I can assure you that there is not something "seriously wrong" with that system. Most things are pretty easy once they are discovered.

I thought it my duty to "up-date" everyone who had read the posts of complaints above since it would not be proper to just leave a situation without a great conclusion of sorts. (leaves the wrong impression IMHO)
Anyways, i had a great conversation with Barry approx 3 weeks ago and he solved his problem with his operation of the machine.
Just wanted everyone to know that Barrys problem was "foaming" of recovered cleaning agents (pre-spray, etc....) residues, as he had told me.
Once he added a defoamer system, it was working like a charm and not blowing out water (foam) the vacuum motor exhaust.
We had even sent him our newer Air-Flow vacuum lid (that was not needed btw) for his use at N/C.
Anyways, Problem Solved!!!!
Thanks to everyone!

Guys,
Well, the problem is still not fixed. The foam downer system did stop the water/foam from leaking out of the Exhaust BUT it takes a half gallon of liquid foamer to do that and from a $ standpoint that's not a viable option. So, I still have a brand new Recoil3 extracter that does not work properly. The problem is not my Hydramaster Drimaster tool because this extracter leaks water/foam out of the exhaust when I clean tile too. So I have a $4000.00 extracter gathering dust in my garage that I can't use because there's something wrong with it. I'm not a happy camper. Basically, I'm out $4000.00 Barry |

Looks like Ed spoke too soon. And to think that some bitch over not getting a $20 glide fast enough? Ed would be tarred and feathered if he had customers like that.

Ken,
Ed didn't speak too soon. I called him after I did my first job with the Foamdowner system. I knew I used alot of defoamer but figured I would back off the dilution until It started leaking again thru the Vac exhaust. Well, I didn't back off the dilution very much and here comes the water/foam again thru the exhaust. This really stinks because I have a $4000.00 machine that I can't use. I should have bought a Ninja. This has been a real nightmare for me. It's been My worst buying decision since I've been in business by far. Barry |

I thought Ed took good care of his customers. Don't tell me that hanging out on the same boards as Ken has influenced him
