BEST PORTABLE UNIT

Hi everyone,

I'm in the same boat as James. Starting a business w/ a portable and the Rotovac sysytem. I am going with a Stormchaser 200psi W/ heat. Not looking for speed but a good job. Less money for startup and as the business grows I'll move into a TM. I have done cleaning for 10 + years and figure most of my work will be condo or apartment cleaning. I had forgot that apt. managers can be %$#%% when it comes to paying. Any others out there have any promos or " best bets"  for a newbie.

 

Hey John L, 

Great to here your success and happiness with the electric heat exchanger. I have wondered about that unit and may have to give it a try. Sounds like your pretty happy with it.

Thanks,

Griff

Want to see a pic of it ????

John,
I saw your input on the recoil 3's. If you think so highly of those machines and can use whatever outlets why couldnt I get a reccomendation? Do you use one? Can you tell me about them? My work will be for vacant commercial properties. All this time, I feel as if you have been holding back on me. Of course I dont want to lug a 6500 generator around apartment to apartment if its not neccessary.

is it a truckmount?

recoil3 is not to be confused with most other portables. they are built on high cfm concept as opposed to vac lift.  look at your vac........in series or parallel to the tank. series vac are a good choice for  25 ft. runs. but for longer runs go parallel..........especially for a rotovac. rotovac is a really good match to a recoil 3 at any distance.good idea to use a ball valve regulator for water supply on rotovac.  go by how trashed the carpet may or maynot be.heat on a rotovac  is  best coupled with propane little giant. electric is too slow, however a volcano would be my second choice after the propane.i have a ninja  that i added parallel vacs.......what a diference!.and thats a homemade variety.........cant beat ed v. recoil though. it has balance on vacs,psi . as well as amperage(very important).
