The only thing I will offer on this subject is this: I have to agree with John L. My experiences are that a #2 blower does not have enough performance. This opinion, does not in any way, knock this particular product. The purchaser must ultimately purchase the product he/she feels comfortable with in the end and must then move forward toward the goal of success.

JTUSEO: You are buying one of these? Which HP are You getting? Are You buying the tanks to go with it?
JOHN L: The owner said for me just starting out that this might be too much power, that conflicts with what You said. They do make a 15 HP / 36 Blower for $8995.00, But then I'm rite back at a truck mount cost, And I'm in a enclosed trailer situation now with the prowler and tanks so I might as well mount a TM in the trailer, And be done with it, HEH???? STEAMINPILE: What does that mean? Dirty water is discharged into the tank, How can that create suction to collapse the tank? There is NOT a portable anywhere on the market that is as powerful as this! This machine would eliminate the need to purchase a porty + 10,000 watt generator. But then again it would be nice to have the Equity in a generator. - How come I cannot seem to find the right equipment for my needs. Is there not a company out there that can help a new person get the rite equipment? This is the most frustrating decision I have dealt with in a while. I thought You guys would say this is a good step up from a portable and would be strong enough to do both commercial & Residential while keeping initial start up at around $7K At first I was looking for something to put inside my Cargo van on a Mon and take out on a friday, Because the Van is used for another business on the weekends. Now I'm thinking that would be a pain in the A**, And to buy a 5X8 Enclosed trailer and buy a good setup for around $7K that will last and has great suction power and Heat, The prowler pictures above is the only thing I know to do, I need more options it sounds like, You guys don't like that set-up! |

whatever floats your boat
I never looked too hard,,but I thought it was a standard waste tank 15hp is small to run a 36 blower IMO,,,,,,should be more like 18-20hp probably would work fine for a while,but it looks like a bear to work on I wouldn't want to use it on much of a hose run though just call Ted and he'll steer you in the right direction without trying to sell you one of his own machines

Hey max, The owner said "too much power". lol It's not a Vortex. Take 150' of hose on nylon carpet and test it. Do 2 clean and one dry stroke, now feel how much moisture is their. I would say the most versatile/less maintenance unit with excellent power would be the "RECOIL QUAD-PAK". It's not heavy, unload quik for apt work. and you have the booster for additional power and hose runs. I also own a RECOIL, and that's why i say this. I have owned 4 diff. porty's and RECOIL was my favorite. I love my TM, but sometimes wished I'd bought the quadpak. Whatsmore, Goodluck on support with amtek, I talked to them and that man was very rude on the phone.
