How many use the sleeved solution hoses?

With most machines are the standard blue Good Year ones ok - what sort of heat would the machine need to be making to cause the solution hoses get so warm as to leave melt lines on the carpet?

I see the safety connects are available from Phoenix to help with the connects getting hot  but do you need the full sleeve hoses that Ashbys do?

The machine is a Prowler 13hp

what we did was ly dust sheets in the hall ways to the front room door doesn't matter how hot they got then  , pre spay and then clean with a tm , then we roll up dust sheets quick pre spay then clean the hall carpet last this avoids must ironing flat carpets as there damp from the pre-spay and it shouldn't take you that long to clean a hall way

other then that just roll a extra vac pipe off feed into it the solution hose and away you go instant sleeving that costs northing and can be used if and when needed

Order a few bits to fill the box up and remember you'll get hit with the vat before  customs will release parcel.
