Very sorry to hear of your worries. Australia is the driest continent on earth and South Australia the driest state. Going back perhaps 5 years we were in the grips of a very serious drought. Whyalla pulls water from the Murray River via the Morgan Pipeline. The Murray got so bad we were facing eutrophication of the river system. Then the rain came and the rivers banks broke. It was chaos as rescuers removed families from their homes. It was a scary time, but it did end. Hope you guys get some relief soon.
I saw the CFR extractor a while ago but what concerns me about the unit is that it continuously recycles cleaning solution. This means that effectively, after a while you're rinsing the carpet with pre-spray not good.
