At that point I think if you are not running 3 wands, you are just going to be working harder with only slight or marginal improvement.

Technical difficulties.......
here is a try at uploading via Photobucket.
back to production of the show truck.
FIFTH STAGE:
in the fifth stage of production, we load all of the major components and finish the final assembly.
Here we have loaded the fresh water tank, #6 blower, water pump / oil level indicator, and recovery tank.

Here we have loaded the recovery tank. We are getting ready to install the 2" drain line. It will be plumbed underneath the floor of the box.

we have installed the blower & water pump belts and are getting ready to install the 5" suction line from the blower to the recovery tank.

I was told pulsation dampers need to be vertical to work?

What is that inch elbow and brass fitting near the top of the waste tank?

That's a heck of a filter between the fresh tank and pump. .

I bet that is an inline rinsing hook up to wash out the tank. Or it should be.....

Does the chemical pump still have a 700 psi limit?
If so how does one go about dual wanding tile (no rinse) and upholstery (acid rinse) at the same time?

I upgraded mine to either 1500 or 3000, can't remember, from the 600 that came with it. I'm pretty sure they matched the chem pump with pressure pump now. We would leave the valve open when doing tile and blow the diaphragm. Finally upgraded it last year.

There's new idea for them. After the auto fill rinse tank I upgraded from them, figured that was the next step.

The chemical pump diaphragm is rated to 1500 psi. We have installed a ball valve in front of it so it can be turned off when pressure exceeds 1500 or to save wear and tear on the diaphragm when not being used.

We are near completion now. Fully tested, just need to finish the organizational racking system and a few finishing touches.
just a little slow getting pics up.

How is this unit different than a CINTAS truck?

Everyday is Saturday.
The Cintas trucks are just built better, with better and stronger components than just regular aerotech trucks. Maybe?

At least that was what zeroerez was saying wasn't it?

All I want to know is the bottom line price?
I already know your rigs are the best out there for us at this moment.

Same major components IE: fresh water tank / size, water pump, #6 blower, recovery tank,exchangers, etc.
only difference is with some of the optional equipment and organizational stuff.

We have looked into it. The biggest problem was the transmission didn't have enough torque to run our blower and water pump. There would need to be a lot of changes to the overall design and layout and we just did feel the LITTLE BIT of cost savings would justify it.

We screw this attachment into the blower and lift them into the box with a forklift.
Here is the drive shaft connecting to the PTO. Only 3 grease zerk fittings.....Easy to access.
This is the lower sheave shaft bearing or pillow blocks. 2 grease zerks to grease. the cover can be left on to grease.
here we are connecting the 5" piping from the blower exhaust to the silencer.
attaching the silencer to the box frame rails.

Silencer has been mounted. Also notice how the box frame is bolted to the chassis frame.
Inlet tubing from blower to recovery tank has been installed. Kinetico water softener has been installed.
Kinetico water softener fully plumbed.

Control panel installed inside box.
