Variable Run it between 200 and 300 psi can go alittle higher but see no reason to do so. One must watch with portables that the recovery system can match the output to ensure reasonable dry times. ------------- DON ELDRED YOU CAN "STAND" ON OUR REPUTATION |

I am running 220 but am looking for more PSI. It is hard to go back to the porty after using the TM.

| Why do you need more than 200 psi, after all its a portable. Bane clean has been cleaning with less than 200 psi sucessfully for many years. |

You can purchase an external unit that will do super. Of course, that would cost as much or more as a porty extractor and will handle HOT water.

Thats debatable. More chemicals, more labor, more time to clean, more headaches, more ext.cords, bucket brigade, more ppl laughing.
 I did it for many yrs and sometimes still do!  |
