Sorry it took so long to respond, but I had a lot going on, and actually came here a couple of times to respond only to get interrupted.  Micky not sure what you mean by this machine I assume you are talking about the one in the video.  If that is the case then all I can tell you is that Coby the guy running the machine stated to me on the phone that he was running the machine on 1 cord and has done it many times.  Now as I stated above that machine actually has two cords, but he plugged them into one cord and ran the machine.  As you can or could have seen, it was certainly running.  I know for a fact that that machine has 3 two stage vacs.  I also explained how that was possible.   Because the amp draw drops three or four amps when the wand is on the ground and the motors are being worked, as opposed to when they are flowing freely with no restrictions (which is when they draw the most amps).  Also almost any circuit will run over its rated power for a period of time.  But again in this case I am only going by what he said and what was on the video.

If you meant the machine I have with the 3 three stage vacs that unit is a 220 volt unit and runs on two separate 15 amp circuits using a patented special circuit board.  We have been using this technology for over a year and it works fabulous.  A light on the box tells you when you are plugged into separate circuits, making it easy to do.  Most rooms and every house or business has separate circuits through out it.  This machine has some serious power, and will be available in either series or parallel.  It is very compact and is light weight weighing only 38 lbs.  Can fit in the front seat of a car. 

Here is how it will work.  If you want to use the water from the building for your cleaning (like the Steamon Demon and the Rotovac power pod does) as opposed to using a pump.  Then you hook the solution line up to a faucet which feeds to the machine which feeds to the wand.  In this scenario you could use a wand with much larger jets (which we are testing now) to get a much higher flow of water with less impact on the carpet.  This will act more like flushing the carpet.  This avoids driving water at high pressure into the carpet which can lead to a wetter carpet and longer dry times.  The more flushing the more dirt removal.

If you want to use a power pump then depending on the pump (from 200 psi to 1200 adjustable psi) then bring the pump in and set it next to the water supply (typically the sink) and plug it in, and hook the supply hose to the faucet.  If that is not possible because of the faucet configuration or the aerator won't come off or whatever the reason, then you can use a special collection cup and set it in the bottom of the sink or water closet, bath tub or whatever.  Adjust the water feed and the cup will supply the pump (this is really a neat feature which I will show on the video).  You can also run the pump to a Little Giant heater if desired (but in my opinion not needed).

Because of the power of 3 three stage vacs you will have the option of leaving the machine at the sink, doorway, van, garage, or outside and running a long lose into the building.  Or you can keep the hose short like 25 feet and have the unit with you in the building.  It is designed kinda like a canister vac and is easily pulled or pushed around.  With 25 feet of hose you can leave the unit in the hallway and clean all the bedrooms and then the hall.  You can also clean most any stair case without moving the machine.  The machine moves so easily and is small and compact I don't see any reason to leave it by the sink and run long hose runs.  The longer the hose the more lose of suction.  25 feet will give optimal suction and ease of use.  But there are guys that like to run a longer hoses and clean.   The machine has auto dump.  The hoses unlike the Steamon Demon are smaller and much more flexible, making them so much easier to use.  The machine will come standard with 25 of solution and suction hose from the machine and 50 feet of solution and discharge hose from the machine to the sink and or drain giving you a 75 feet of cleaning distance.  You can connect additional 50 foot sections of those hoses, each section of hose has a ball valve so you won't have to worry about dripping any dirty water out of the hoses while disconnecting them. 

The filter for the machine is located in front of the machine and has a large easy to clean 200 mesh cloth filter.  The filter can be quickly cleaned or change out.  Because of the filtration system this machine can also dry vacuum.  So you could use a air powered vacuum head or any vacuum head and pre-vac or post vac the carpet without having to bring in a separate vacuum if you wanted.  The vac motors are on top and easy to get to so repairing or changing them is simple and quick.  The discharge motor is located in the bottom of the machine and unlike the Rotovac CFX units is very easy to get to and repair or replace.

There are more features but we are going to make a video in the next week or two.  So we will post it here first which I had said I would do over a year ago.  I haven't said anything about this machine since then because it kept getting delayed.  But now that I have an actual machine I am more confident talking about it.  More later


ok, whats the dilly with this? i see some detailer guys are using a new green machine from durrmaid (it looks like an alien), but i do not see anything that resembles what i spoke of here, and more so, what jim spoke of!
better yet, is this durrmaid company for real?
or is andy mc accurate when he sed, "its a mythical creature like the jack o lope"!

andy, yer wise beyond yer years   :angel:
