If I use a 500 psi porty and make only 1 pass and get a dry time of 2 hours. How will making 2 passes effect the dry time? will it be 1.5x or 2x or what? I mean this only in a general way under normal humidity lets say in the GTA where no fans are being used but the house does have AC. ps. dont tell me its a dumb question I already know it is :) |

Jackblack: Good question. When I am training someone tm or portable I want to overlap by a half with wand and a minimum of TWO EXTRACTION PASSES FOR EACH PRESSURE ON PASS. But that is just my way. But each extraction pass will remove more moisture. But I feel two is plenty, but if it is an 60oz carpet 3 or 4 maybe necessary. That one extra pass could cut a half hour off drying times which makes you look better as drying times seem more important than cleaning results on some occasions. ------------- Just My opinion |

jackblack If your porty is a 500psi Ninja and you are looking for faster cleaning and quicker drying times you should look at the Hyper Box. We sell for $799. This is an additional 2 vac motors that will take your lift from 140 to 260. Now you will have almost truckmount capabilities.
The other alternative is to add a portable hotbox that takes your temperature from tap temp to 205º F. This will allow much faster drying times through quick evaporation. Your idea of a double pass will also double your labor costs. Also keep tuned for a new style wand taht will be first introduced on this site. It will allow single pass cleaning through its advanced spray design. I just love new gizmos especially ones that allow faster cleaning and additional profit. P.S. Sorry I don't have the technical answer you are looking for. I am a salesman and only focus on sales ideas that work for my customers. My technical knowledge is vast but makes no money. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |

Ted: DOUBLE YOUR LABOUR COSTS!!!! WHAT KIND OF DUNG IS THAT?? What would that add to a 300 sq. ft. room all of about 5 minutes from start to finish. Now the hot box?? I do appreciate the difference with heat. But the vacuum thing is a complete waste. ------------- Just My opinion |
