Mytee Water Hog/AirHog

[dreamingofcleaning]

Hey guys, I have been following these forums for the past few weeks and have found so much valuable information.

I am planning to startup a carpet cleaning business focused on residential, end of lease jobs initially with plans to move toward more commercial works and in the future add tile/grout cleaning.
I have been trying to decide what setup to run because I cant afford a truck mount and need to start with a portable. I was going to go with a portable extractor standalone but weight is an issue being from Sydney Australia in my area alot of the appartements are stairs and no elevators and this setup seemed most portable and covers all areas.

I have decided to go with the Mytee Water Hog/AirHog Setup. But I have no experience in carpet cleaning( i have done alot of research and have the "theory" down and when I get my setup I have a few family members homes and some old rugs I can practice on before going out into the field).

With this in mind I have a few questions if someone could please help answer them.

1. Where can I find a tutorial on how to setup the dual setup and actually use it, I have watched all the videos about the individual machines but dont know how to run them together ?

2. Is it necessary to get a heating unit for these or can I use hot tap water initially for budget purposes ?

3. Is the noise of this setup going to be an issue I have seen a few comments that they are very noisy ?

4. Any advice for running this setup such as recommended wands, or anything that a newbie like me can find of help ?

5. Is there any stores based in the US that ship internationally because things are alot cheaper in the US than here.

Thanks alot guys appreciate any help in advacned and any other advice you have for me ill appreciate it.

I just purchased a few items, did you ever get your set up? Have the same questions.

I'm looking at a similar set up.

What brand generator is that and how are you finding it?

The generator is a Westinghouse 9500, It's enough to push the three motors and the pump with about 10amps of room to spare. I know that's only 8500 watts, but anything above that causes a voltage drop.

The third LX motor was just sitting on top of the unit for display, not mounted there.
I mounted it above the unit. It's only needed for long runs when used as a van mount, not if you took it inside of a house, so in the van it stays.

Also created some exhaust heat exchangers, which do very well when under load. I was able to tuck them behind the generator, above the wheel well. Here's a photo of how hot that water gets on the exchangers alone.

All in all, plenty of space in the van

you are a absolute genius with the heat exchangers ive only seen one guy who sells them and there like 1700 for a generator heat exchanger but there so convenient.., and is the air hog enough alone for like 100-150 feet normal run? is it just as good as truckmount power or cfm
