Steempro service
« on: April 10, 2008, 02:55:51 pm »
Hi
Looking for some direction on this.
I've had my Prochem Steempro Powerplus for 4 years, doing c/c as a side for my contract cleaning jobs.
C/c starting to pick up, and just got contract to clean carpets in a  couple of dozen blocks of flats, to pto bottom.
the last thing i want is for machine to fail half way through contract. The machine is working fine the now, but how could I tell if vacs aren't at full suction, or if the pump is okay.
Not sure if it's a Shurflo pump or Flojet - would a simple look at pump tell me? i've been told that if it's a Shurflo it'll probably need replaced. Where would you recommend as new pump suplier.

Many thanks in advance, and I apologise if this post sounds daft.

Cheers

Colin ???

Try Prochem, they would give you a list of local suppliers that will give you all the info you need.

Cheers

Also, The vacs start to make a bit of a screaming noise when they are on the way out so this will warn you that they need changing.

you can remove the pump and look at the bushes in the bell end if they are worn replace for around £30.00 its a simple diy job
