The idea is good but as there is such a vaiety of taps out there I think you would need to carry a lot of different fittings with you and even then you will find taps impossible to attach a hose to, but maybe there is a simpler answer which we are overlooking.

is this available in the Uk?
I had problems when i first started pressure washing with customers without outside taps so had to use a tap inside i never found a tap i could not use with a bit of ingenuity. so I would think this would be the same
but I think it works direct from the tap so you would only have a fresh water rinse, the water pressure would be dictated by the home and the temp would be an issue

The steaming demon is a similar setup and been around for a few years

Seems a good idea but I bet having all those different hoses setup will slow down the cleaning process and make the machine a bit cumbersome.
Would be interesting to know of anyone who has tried it though.

I could make a machine with the same concept, it would.nt look as good or be as small but it would do the same job.
here is a machine that at first look completely different but does the same job..... at a quarter of the price, (they did a smaller version of this with the same twin vac)

Why are the taps a problem?
i quite often connect to a kitchen or bathroom tap when using the tm and have never had a problem or a tap i couldnt use.
Theres plenty of tap connectors you can get from B & Q etc that will do the job nicely.

I have two adapters for most taps, one for a mixer or square tap and one for a regular tap. When I do EOT I use the washing machine tap under the sink, the fittings are universal but access is not always possible. Van tank would be the most logical option

a tank in the van would defeat the object for me i liked the idea it took up very little space and if you wanted you could just chuck it in the car .
