uchavy76,
Let's me see if I understand this:
1. One TM manufacturer (of twenty or so) runs dirty water directly thru the blower.
2. The blowers are made of cast iron and treated with a rust preventative before it leaves the factory.
3. You think the cast iron in the blower won't rust,
because you run more water thru your blower.
. . . REALLY . . .
Any TM blower can lock up due to rust on cast iron . . .
but manufactuers should not purposely run slugs of water thru the blower.
I maintain that for any TM manufacturer.

You are always pushing the subject that waste water should not go through blower, and as much as you always monitor this forum or others, there have been no report of any damage being done to Prowler's blowers because of this application.
IMO it is not fair to put down a manufacture that came up with such a smart design.
You also mentioned "cast iron"....Aren't high power transfer pumps used to deflood basements with high water have cast iron impalers in them?, so we should not run water through them either right?
As for your blower getting locked on your "DYNACHEM" truckmount, believe me we did lubricated it so we don't get yelled at by the owner of the company for the same repeating problem, but not knowing that at the time why? and now owing an Amtex Infernos without the same problem, it gives me the feeling that probably your design of having the blower so close to your waste tank was causing that.
So for someone who is so concerned and worried about waste water running throught their blowers, you need to redesign your "DYNACHEM" machine so it would not lock up so much.
As for "One TM manufacturer (of twenty or so) runs dirty water directly thru the blower" you are right, absolutly right.
it is also:
A. One TM manufacture (of twenty or so) Have made it possible to purchase a high power TM at resonable pricing.
B. One TM manufacture (of twenty or so) Has the greatest customer service, before and after sale.
C. One TM manufacture (of twenty or so) have been a carpet cleaner themselve before, building what we really need to get the job done not what we must have.
D. One TM manufacture (of twenty or so) proved that machines does not need to be as complicated as a "LEXUS" car to be operational.
and list can go on and on.
With all respect Mr. Larry, we can't always cling to old ways of doing things, new ideas are everywhere making our lives easier and more productive, we just need to learn to adopt to new ways rather than fighting them.
PS. Disco days are in 70's it is year 2011 now, just to let you know
