I designed and built the Vortex Amplifier. I will probably change the name, but as the name implies, that is what it does. I quickly realized that Roots or PD type blowers were limited, and "the bigger the better" wasn't the answer I was searching for- so I did my own thing and to the best of...

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I took a couple of years off to build the Holy Grail of Carpet Cleaning.

John copies all his Mytee big inventions from post on TMF... 1000 inventions stolen by 1%...

LOL the last shoot out they all got beat be the Trinity... Trinity CM Tour in Phoenix, Arizona, Carpet FabriCare Institutes Best Cleaner Competition - YouTube

For me to do so will put Duane and Les at an unfair advantage. I gave you a general heading, let the boat sail it's course...

Myth- there is a direct correlation, those who know don't tell... But you were close...

I would agree... I have yet to see a manufacture to "actually know how to decipher" the blower specifications... Closest we got in this century was Kevin Wang... Nick was close... Just Sucking Air my Friends...

Every single machine produced with the circuit finding light is a fire hazard, and death trap waiting to happen.... It is outright disrespectful and if someone were to die via electrocution, criminal... A persons life is worth more than a 1 cent diode... Mytee- Build more safety protection in...

I have one... Two words... Vac Release... It don't have one.

Orbot= nice looking junk. They Look nice, but the cam offset is weak... Just like a big Oreck Trinity has the best/smoothest cam offset in this type of machine... Come on guys think about it... The longer the stroke....

Pure engineering Junk, what ever you do, if you don't use it keep it caped... Bubbles from the bottom of the tank= water in the blower...

or run from all his patent infringements...

Depends on blower size... anything over 36...Belts

My main concern with the smaller pumptec is it's a DC motor that uses an AC inverter that is intermittent rated- I would imagine the duty cycle to be in the high 70-80%. I like the pumptec because of the low amp draw and high GPM it delivers, but if you run close to or above max rating it will...

It's not two different batches of carpet, carpet pile always lies in the direction of manufacture. Usually the 1st piece is cut A-B. Then the second (fill piece B-C) can be quite a distance away from the end of the first piece and so on. Roll crush is the culprit as the closer to the center...

Love the little giant. They have High Pressure models available...(Finally)

...Add more light

I don't groom, by the time I put everything up I'm too tired... I read the article and the only line that made me think was the part that said we were suppose to return the carpet to the way it looked when it was first installed. I can attest... the guys that use the rotovac and don't groom-...

My supplier told me that Teflon (PTFE) price has tripped over the last year because of a resin shortage. Is that true?

Terry is Cool. ED, Sorry I didn't get to meet you at the Stemin Demon Challenge...

I just got 10 HR on my bench for an OEM project using 2 Westpak 3 stage motors. This one bangs on them...

I was always under the assumption that over-driving was exceeding the max RPM statics of the blower. ie-3,800RPM for a 4.5 blower...

The sensor is there to prevent vapor lock due to steam- if you took a garden hose and just ran water through the heater you would develop live steam in under 3 minutes. The flow switch has less of a dead band than the thermostat and causes the heater to cycle more, thus preventing vapor lock...

It depends if the blower is direct coupled or belt driven. I see so many 4mp blowers that are belt driven, over driven, or not properly tensioned get 3000-4000 hours before bearing round-out occurs which is when the shaft will wear due to rotating mass and loose tolerance thus allowing the...

Depends on what your doing... I like Spring loaded set at what ever HG you think works for you. I also like the gate valve plumed in to allow for dropping the HG's when you have to do an area rug or upholstery... In my opinion the gate valve is used for guys that have 45 blowers or larger...
