I told you not to buy one but you wouldn't listen.

you did mr Kelly

the machine is better than the exel john a bit more quiet and more pull from the vacs .a bigger pump would be great
as for an external heater I don't think they need one, the heater in them are way good enough,
ian he was telling me he was getting more vac s from mexico said they were just waiting to clear the factory  
hope there better than the ones they were fitting

Yeah , if your stuck with a 100psi its a bit of a performance mismatch for a pair of 8.4's in series .
There would be a few easy straight swap pumps if you didn't need pressure adjustment .
This for eg ...

there is also a 200psi version  ... Mytee use these pumps .


No you dont ' need ' an external heater ...  but it does give you hotter water at the wand and speeds up the waiting time if you are going from cold .   Use the internal immersion to pre heat the water and then feed it to the external and you have very hot water  at the wand fast .  

just had the pump fixed today john (114 hours).new end bush kit put in it,
brian was on about putting another heater in the machine so there would be two
that would mean another cable running in to the house worked on,
you think it would be ok

depends what he means by putting another heater in ...
you know the two basic heater types ...  the kettle element immersion you already have on the bottom of your clean tank ..
and the heat exchanger type that you feed water though after the water leaves the tank and water pump ..
so does he want to put a heat exchanger type inside the machine ... or does he want to put in two kettle elements . 
Having three cords on the machine would be a messy solution ... he could put the immersion and the heat exchanger on a three way switch to allow you to select one or the other  ....       
I would buy an external inline heater ...
Did your immersion heater fail because u let the water level drop and ran the heater dry ... if so its just bad engineering on their part  that it can even happen .

Don't think any of the Extracta machines have a low water level cut off so the heater just burns out as the water can't even activate the thermostat.

My 2007 Exell had a low water cut off , The best thing about the Exell was the heater imo

Hi Ian

Ashcombe were a distributor but Lloyd managed to get Extracta to send him the design plans and 18 months later Ashcombe's own brand was born.

It was very similar but Lloyd didn't survive the recession in the early nineties.

What shop did you buy?

Cheers

I was going to have a Rymans Franchise in Peterborough at the time the Company was run by Jennifer Dabbo I think she was the mother of Mike Dabbo Manfred Mann fame and had been married to Peter Cadbury anyway they took a long time procrastinating  I opened my own version in Kings Lynn . Jennifers Rymans went into receivership and Louis bought it cheap  But due to doubling of rent and record high interest rates I went bust due to running out of money to sustain the running costs and my family although at the time we were breaking even one creditor would not negotiate and went for the jugular

Does the heater on Enforcer perform same as the Ninja.
The Ninja doesn't have a low level cut off as such, rather it won't actually come on until you have at least 10 litres in tank.
I don't have the heater on when in use just plug it back in when pumps etc are switched off.

Nice bloke Brian from Extracta...told it like it is and gave sound advice.
John on the other hand talked utter bulls##t.

I dreaded the day when I walked into Extracta and got stuck with John....Aaaaarrrrrhhhhh
