Identify this machine please
« on: October 06, 2017, 04:55:42 pm »

I have aquired a carpet cleaning machine but dont know what make it is. It has twin vacs two pumps one of which is a solvent pump and two heater switches, there is a heater coil in the clean water tank this is not electric but is a coil connected to two lengths of hose it looks like it is liquid heated.Any ideas would help thanks in advance even a good guess may point me in the right direction.

I had one of those. I just can't remember what its called....


.....and that of course is a really helpful answer ;D ;D

I seem to recall it was quite a good machine with plenty of suction but was a really really heavy machine.. It was awkward as well as it had to be completely empty to put in the van because you roll it into the van on its back.

I inherited the machine first day of buying my business hence why I can't recall the manufacturers name.

Thats weird - so you would need hot water to create hot water?

Ashbys like to put solvent thingies on so could it be an old Ashbys machine?

Must admit it was the first manufacturer's name that I did think was a possibility.
