Was thinking about utility of pressure and heater setups for HWE. Why do we need one for this and something for that?
Can one setup do upholstery, carpet, and tile with heat?
There are ways to do that. Ultimately a modular setup would be best. You need to decide whether you want gas powered or electric, burner or no burner. No burner kind of limits things.
How about an electric pressure washer, gas or k-1 heater, and a gas pressure washer. Needs to have pressure regulator and gauge so you can dial down to upholstery and up to pressure wash or do tile/grout. The heater needs to be able to take whatever pressure you want to be using. The burner needs to fire even at low flow rates. An add on injector setup could handle the chemicals.
Add to this a 120V add on heater for those times you can't run a line inside such as high rise or security situations.
As long as there are disconnects on everything you can add/subtract equipment to cover just about anything you would need to clean.
For added versatility add a flood pumper so you can do tile/grout, carpet, upholstery, etc.
The good thing about modular systems is you can load/unload what you need for that day's work. A small van would work for most cleaners which lowers overhead too. Also when you have equipment failure you can swap out components to get a job done.
Thoughts?
