Have you looked at the hot boxes the pressure washers use think they are only £600-£700 but
dont know if they could handle so little pressure

Jim...

At the moment we're looking at getting one sent from America.

How much. ? Is it the one ED goes on about on his clips would love to know if they can produce steam and if running costs are affordable

I have been using the Storm for the last month and its been a brilliant bit of kit. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I have the airflex turbo and am impressed with the way this newmachine has developed. I use it solely as a van mounted system with a freshwater tank in the van meaning that I dont have to bucket in water anymore and a waste tank which collects all the dirty water. This happens via the remote control system which when used - turns off the vacs and automatically dumps the waste in the dirty tank. I can do this from anywhere in a property.
The amount of time saved is quite staggering really. I rate this machine highly and its improved my productivity no end.
Very happy 

[Ian Gourlay]

The remote control sounds goods .

Alternatively a set of 3 remotes from B&Q cost about £15 so any portable can have this too.

What are these remotes at BQ

[brianbarber]

With the auto dump and auto fill, is this machine a viable alternative to a truck mount?

Mr B

[Gary Humphreys]

The pump gets up to 800 psi and I have cleaned several jobs using the pressure the pump delivers.
I think that a petrol driven truckmount must deliver but does the difference justify the extra costs and maintenence?
Im happy to think that the customer is paying to run the machine when Im at their property.

Been told they should be launched at next Carpex in March 2012.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Which suppliers?

Shaun

Dependent on size any 2 vac motored porty could in theory have these vac motors fitted.

[Derek_Walker]

Does anyone here use a propane powered heater? and if so, what are the implications on your insurance premiums, ie carrying and operating?

[CARPET KNIGHTS]

Hi joe michaels

So do you have to switch off the vacs in order to auto dump? Cos if thats right it doesn't really sound like auto dump to me!

Also why would you need auto dump if you are running tanks?

Got any pictures of it all set up in the van so i can see how the tanks are plumbed?

Cheers Goron

[clinton]

Same here joe wouldnt mind a look too.

I also run my 3 vac set up form the van and also have a large water tank plumbed into the van and transfer the water via a pump into my fresh water tank in the portable.

[Simon Gerrard]

For the cost of just one top-of-the-range fuel powered truck mount, you could purchase up to 6 Airflex Storm machines. Ask yourself; which has the potential to earn you more?

Simon's not going to be happy with that

Neil,
Nice point, but youre just a tad off being mathematically correct. An RX20 on a TM can clean 125 sq yds per hour, whereas a portable, with stops for filling and emptying, repositioning etc can do around 25 to match the quality of the RX. So that's 5 portables with say three men operating and servicing them to keep up with one RX, which never needs to stop. Then consider the Titan 875 can clean non stop with three RX20's simultaneously. So to keep up with that you would need 15 portables with a 9 man team., matched against a team of 4 running the TM.
So get your hand in your pocket you need three more Airflex's.

[Gary Humphreys]

Yes carpet Knights - when you operate the remote contol and switch off the vacs, the waste tank in the Airflex automatically empties into a bigger waste tank on the van. Having never had a machine which offers this facility - I thought this was best described as autodumping. Sorry if that confused anyone.
Am away until the weekend but more than happy to post some pics.

[Simon Gerrard]

Just been on the website. That is one impressive machine, very innovative and good value for the money. A lot better than that horrible Jaguar thing which looks like a skip on wheels.

I wonder if they will give you 6 of them in part ex for a TITan 

[Simon Gerrard]

I'm sure they'd give up making portables if they saw what a Titan can do

[Simon Gerrard]

Those new 6.6 motors are only £96 + shipping. I might get a couple and upgrade my machines.
