One of my customers was using that setup with the Recoil. When he upgraded to a Prowler he tried to use the waste tank and it imploded.

Yes, but the Scorpion weakened it. ;)

I can understand a Scorpion's remote tank collapsing when connected to a Blower rather than it's design brief of 3x3 stage Amteks. A blower has a relatively high Hg lift. The Scorpion is configured for a high airflow.

Are there any plastic tanks without bracing  used for recovered water on T/M's?

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Don't think so Ken. We were hoping these tanks would work as a tank is useful for sucking up quantities of silt and mud on flood work.

When my Ninja started ageing it was a case of "hide it", as the body became more marked, dripping from connectors and the machine was too noisy to go into a customers house. Now the new machine has changed that. No noise, no dripping and a great talking point with customers as to what it is etc

Thanks for that John. My logic suspected that that would be your answer, but I didn't know for sure.

I presume that the metal tanks for T/M's have bracing.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

It is Clinton. I managed to twist Mark at Texatherm into letting me have his new EMV pre-order machine as my Ninja finally failed. This is the new Texatherm EMV and im chuffed to bits with it.

Hi Clinton,

Machine is not due to launch until end of August but I'll give you an idea of its spec.

twin stage 3's with high air path so increased air flow, controllable PSI in increments from chip controlled pump (pump senses flow requested and deliversit constantly)  high flow due to solution hoses with no restrictions, non-drip quick connectors, remote control, the list is endless.

The most important factors are that it out performed my Ninja both in airflow and solution delivery. The drying times are also improved.

You would need to speak to Mark but the design has been specific to achieve all of this.

Hi Clinton,

There is a full function remote control available. This allows you to switch on & off the vacuum motors, pump and heater all from a small keyfob similar to a cars (great when you are two/three storeys up!) about 200 feet operational distance

Weight wise on a par with my ninja

Price will depend on options taken up. Competitve with a lot of machines out there,  Ask Mark!

It all sounds great......................until it goes wrong.

I'll stick with my texatherm tea urn until any problems are ironed out.
