Triple vacs will outperform the Excel any day.
Cleansmart also do a triple vac and Ashbys Ninja can have a 3rd vac fitted externally.
I have a Scorpion and it is excellent, and the service/backup from Solutions Cornwall is very good too.
It does not have an inbuilt heater but there are advantages to that. I dont think the Cleansmart machine at top spec has an heater, but the Altec does but it cuts out when all 3 vacs are running - only so much you can do with 2 mains cables.

Further to Joes comment on the Alltec Triple Vac machine, The water heats up quick enough while you're carrying out all the peripherals of the job to 70-80 degrees C. It stays hot too while you have the 3rd motor running providing you keep the lid shut....

I did run the same outfit you're looking at.... I've slashed my cleaning times and thanks to the extra psi and airflow with the Alltec!

I think the next step of buying a Truck Mount is on the horizon for me now though :-X

If you use the micro splitters or M-Power or Nemesis, Nick is correct in saying you dont need heat, but I like some heat - personal choice. Detergents do need heat IMO, to get the best from them.
