I'm now the owner of a new prowler only disappointment was they did not put the white stripes on it as specified, I wanted it red and white ;D

I am very intersted in this machine, it would be good to know what you think of it. It has 17 inches HG but how do you find the airflow/drying results and heat at say 150 ft. I work in Edinburgh and do a lot of stair carpets and this sort of machine would be Ideal. John said he would give me a demo so I may shoot down to Newcastle sometime soon.

Cheers

It's nice and relaxing in John's office and with a nice cuppa tea! then the t'other Gordie comes in and he's on e-numbers and starts jumping around (he's mad!)

But it looks a great machine I have seen it and used it, but demo it first and without obligation I may add.

Aw Right Fred?  ;)
I work Edinburgh also. Don't be shy to get in touch, I'm not hard to find.
I always find its better to talk to competitors than not to.
There's times when jobs need to be passed on, when you have a breakdown and need to borrow gear etc.
I quite fancy the prowler maself.
Cheers Rab.

Well I'm finding the prowler and excellent piece of kit,the heat is fantastic after only a couple of minutes.Nothing complicated about them keep forgetting to open by-pass valve so its dumping water when it reaches temp but I'll get the hang of it :-[

John was telling me of someone who ran his machine with no water going through the pump for one and a half hours as he was on a flood job total cost to repair machine £10 for a set of seals,how many t/ms would you get away with that without damaging the pump?

Steve

You have to open the by pass by hand?  Is that what you mean?

Mark, the wand with the Prowler has a bypass valve fitted. Cranking this open when you stop working, such as to move furniture or answer a phone call, will prevent the pump heating up and opening the machine bypass as happens with most truckmounts. This wastes a lot of water as it dumps until it cools down. Discussed earlier here http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=30817.0

Looks great that Steve, id certainly consider a Prowler, are there any environmental issues, obviously the waste isnt going down a foul drain so the chemical would find its way back to the ground and the natural water table would they not?, or are they then in too minute a quantity to be of any affect?

Cool.
What happens to any solids that's left after the water has vaporized ?
I do fancy one.

They are trapped by the filter, scrap them off and throw them away, I can get a half carrier bag a day if really busy.
