Have to be careful with that idea.

 

The reason is that it could result in being out of balance. Has to keep the flow going in one direction. Otherwise, vac motor(s) burn out will be common.

Robg, how do you run the recoil?

I'm planning to run it has a Porty TM at 150ft at the most with 2 40 gal. tanks, a heat exchanger and still have the option to go portable.

 

Just looking for folks running this setup.

To run everything on a Recoil 3 you need 2 15 amp circuits. If you plan to use it without the built in booster you can make it on 1. This is how I clean upholstery. I have had my Recoil for about 15 months. I have been pleased with it. The machine is solid, CA chemicals are an excellent value, and everytime I have called them, Ed has answered the phone and given me all the time I needed to resove whatever issue or question I may have. I would certainly reccomened doing business with Cross American.

Cleencarpet;

 

Your situation is exactly like one of our customers locally. They have been using Whitemagic TM and wanted a high-performance Recoil 3HP for years. They clean in a high rise and their generic portable (can't mention the specific name here) just couldn't cut the mustard.

 

Now, they feel (as their customer does) that they are achieving the same results as their TM cleaning provided them, 20 stories up.

 

I'll look forward to your call.

 

Good Fortune to all;

Ed Valentine
