is it good to run anti freeze through your truck mount and portable units pumps a few times during the really cold winter months like Feb and March? I was told to do this on the prtable unit. Is it safe to fo on truck mounts as well? ------------- WWW.PREFERREDCARPETCLEANING.COM |

Well I do it for Pressure washers to lubricate teh pumps and all of the o rings and all rubber seals. So in the winter time they do not crack. I would think its the same for the pumps in carpet cleaning equipt. ------------- WWW.PREFERREDCARPETCLEANING.COM |
