My new RotoVac doesn't extract as well as my wand.
Am I doing something wrong? |

You are missing the RotoLip glides for it as a start I bet.

Hey, could you fill us in a little? Is it adjusted so the heads don’t stop immediately when turned off but don’t run on? When it is off trigger the wand for a moment, lift the heads up, is the spray pattern good or is one or more jets plugged? What psi are you running? If these don’t work contact RotoVac, maybe they can help.
Let us know

In answer to you questions:
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Is it adjusted so the heads don’t stop immediately when turned off but don’t run on? Yes. When it is off trigger the wand for a moment, lift the heads up, is the spray pattern good or is one or more jets plugged? Spray is good. What psi are you running? 100 What are you using it with a porty or TM? Portable. Plug it in? Then turn it on? Edited by doug on 07 July 2005 at 7:27pm Just My opinion. I'm interested-what is you opinion of the RotoVac? |

The lack of "AIR-FLOW/CFM" may be your major problem.

Ed is correct. It may be an AIR FLOW/CFM problem. Adding either his Recoil or my glides for it may help you resolve this.

Call Roto-vac and ask them if they know... Ken Harris.
Be sure to hold the phone away from your ear...the laughter will make you deaf!

But now you have to contend with the cord. I wonder if RotoVac could make a cordless model?
