Mytee dx1005 vs Recoil

How is the Mytee booster universal? the only one I know of is the Airhog, and it only works with the Mytee.

Also, the biggest tank you can get is more important than price if you are going to do serious business. If you don't have an autofill/dump, then you have to spend time emptying and filling the machine. How much would you pay to reduce your trips to the sink by 40% (or whatever number) for the life of the machine? If you pay someone $10 and the save 1 hour a day, you'll make back your money in 3-4 months.  I retired a 20 year old Castex last year, and I can only imagine how much I could have made with a tank that was bigger. Certainly a 6 gallon increase would be worth tens of thousands.

And in addition to having a relatively small tank, the Mytee pump is actually a 500 psi pump that is set to 450. The excess 50 psi is being pumped into the recovery tank, so the darn thing is filling up faster than any other machine on the market. If you are able to see a demo, just watch the water drop in the solution tank while the thing is running. Open the recovery tank when it is empty and watch the water flow in. It's crazy.

I own a DX, so I am speaking from experience. But if initial cost is your only concern, the Mytee can't be beat. That's why is sells so well.

Watchman is correct about the steam brite universal 9 stages of vac, the air hog would 10 stages of vac  and lil more lift due to the 2/ 2 stages . The bad part to the universal boost is it is attached to the top of waste tank Drag baby drag is the problem. I think a inline boost like savages inline or the nordic would be the absolute best system nut the best system comes with a price 1100 - 2000 for a booster 100- 170 cfm.

friendly... the 1003hv is identical to the 1005 dx except the 1003 hv has heat. as I am keyboarding this I am looking at a blow up scetch of this machine. From the primer switch at the bottom there is a hose that goes to the solution tank and a note written beside that reads. quote: If pressure builds up too high the valve allows water to return to the solution tank. end quote ... maybe mytee made changes in the last 3 years since I purchased this machine but that change wouln't make sense. If you would like to see this info send me a fax # and i'll fax you this document.  As far as the universal booster is concerned I purchased this from steambrite last august. It's not manufactured by mytee. the vac booster is a 3 stg vac and screws onto the top of any machine with the screw on lid such as the mytee, diamond back and others. go into the steambrite website and you can see it there. search for "universal booster".

#48 from the pump to vac tank (wastetank).. I ran 3 portys that were 10gal solution tanks for yrs.. What a pain in the neck filling dumping all the time.. Got the bigger Recoil unit and not as much of a pain in the neck.. The bigger tanks will increase production time like FH said..

autofill and auto dump are da bomb

#48 adapter, brass, 1/4" sw barb x 1/4" fpt, w/gasket goes into vac tank.

#51 sol hose, 1/4" kuri 150psi to vac tank from pump unloader valve? Is it dumping water?
