No it uses 1 stack to keep power consumption down. The motors in it are rated at 13 amps each and 600 air watts but we get it to run on 10 to 11 amps each. It does not throw any breakers either.Larry and 1 both worked on the current design. 1 cord runs at 14 amp and the other at 20 when in use.

That looks like a nice machine have you there Ken.Have you had a chance to compare it to the Mytee M5?

Can you explain the differences between the highest lift model vs the highest cfm model and then the one with parallel and series.

What kind of cfm and lift does each model have? Does it have one 2'' stack?

I'm surprised that Mytee doesn't just make a different shell for these and then just call them a electric TM.

Do they all have chemical feed standard?

So are you saying that you canm run 150 with out a booster?

thanks.

It is stronger than a M5 is Frank.

3 motors will do that vs 2 of the same type.

They all use a single stack vs 2. Keeps power consumption down by almost an amp .

The chemical feed is standard with the pumpout and auto fill. That was made optional so the starting price of this machine could be kept under $2000.

This machine will easily run 150 ft without a booster and provide good recovery doing it.

I have two portys for any newby.its a 13 gallon roto molded one looks like a chemdry kleenrite but its a harloff. I took the vac motors out slammed in two 3 stage hi perf with the metal tangial flanges . and a shurflo 100 p.s.i. pump.They are in excellent shape I have used these to fix some of the $49.99 3 rooms and a hallway jobs flyby nights did. and also a harloff massive orge thing. I did the same thing with it two 3 stage and a flojet 100 p.s.i.. 20 gallon tanks I used it on several restaurants. both do not have heat but the suction is awesome. I used the smaller one to clean 2100 -/+ with the 12 gallons and the waste would be like black oil. let me know if anyone needs a good deal just kinda need them outta the way

Mytee Breeze $1199 with two $80 3 stage vacs off eBay grafted in. You would have enough Money left over to get a an inline heater and a Koblenz..

Sorry I saw this quote and I couldn't believe it. Is he fighting the negative stereo types of Carpet Cleaners or Sewer Cleaners too? His responsibility as President to Fight the Negative view of Islam? So are we going to take all the negative commercials and TV shows that bash the White Male off the Television too?

I found it. Buy the Basic Dual Two Stage Mytee for $1199 buy the Dual Two Stage Air Hog from Mytee Under $500. You have a Quad dual parallel series vacs (8 stages on two cords) and you have enough left over to put some money towards some agitation...

That's all great except for one thing...........

**Frank DiGi** · 02-20-2010, 11:38 PM

How about Mytee or a Ninja or a nice used set up with Rotovac for starters... I have seen some selling Mytee with a Rotovac on Ebay for around or under 2k...

Would you care to share some pics of that setup locko?

Who has the lowest prices on the Mytee 1000 series with hoses and wand?
Should I upgrade to the 2” vacuum hose at the time of purchase?

**locko-fabara** · 02-23-2010, 02:53 AM

buy the machine only frm steam brite, then talk with Rob Allen to get the 2 inches hoses and the solution hose, and a good wand.
i did the test with my myteed 1003dx with a 1.5 inches versus the 2 inches, and there is a diference.

**locko-fabara** · 02-23-2010, 02:57 AM

yes gman i do care for now!
The only thing i can tell you is i plumbed the motors with flexible pvc,because the connectors were getting crushed.

What might I expect to pay for hoses and a wand?
Twenty five feet of hose sounds a little short; wouldn't 35' be more realistic? I am just thinking of the minimum length of hose to get started.

I am favoring the 1005 over the 1003 and the onboard heat. I thought I read somewhere that you can convert the1003 to reciclculate the water to increase the temperature of the water? I can not justify spending the extra money only to heat the water only10 or 20 degrees!

**locko-fabara** · 02-23-2010, 06:56 PM

i will pre heat the water up to 150 or 160, then i use smaller jets to give the chance to heat the water even more.

**speakerwire** · 02-25-2010, 11:21 PM

The M5 is $250.00 more than the 1005.
Is auto pump out nice to have?

Does the M5 have a built in circut locater?

**locko-fabara** · 02-26-2010, 12:44 AM

I think all the two cords have the circuit locator

Yes...the M5 has a built in circuit indicator. The problem is it can't tell you when you have a weak circuit breaker...LOL!

I do alot of vacant apts with my M5 and there have been a few cases where I had the orange circuit indicator light but when I started cleaning the breaker popped because though the breaker is a 20 amp breaker it's weak and needs replacing. Normally a sure fire safe way is to plug in at the laundry room washer plug and the kitchen fridge.

I'm gonna get this electrical converter soon:

Then I can in most cases hook up and clean with no worries!

If you don't have at least 5k to invest in everything then you don't deserve to "be in the game"
sorry hacks but my long term goal is to put all you hacks in the 416, 519 and 905 out of business.

There is NO reliable two-circuit locator available at a reasonable price.

If two breakers are on the same phase,
then the locator does not work.

We would rather spend that money on more efficient vac motors to minimize breaker tripping.

I was just patient. I finally found my setup... its a mytee 100mdx200 with an air hog, and the smaller heater that they make. I think if i were to have gotten all that brand new, it would have run about 3,000 (with shipping). I found this guy in my town who had it for a year, only put 30 hours on it, and needed some cash... i got it for 1/3 of its price from mytee.

Im excited, it does a good job too.
