All you have to do is the Math on a 120 volt circuit all you can get is 1200 watts, #1, how hot could the water get? #2 How many hp can the pump and blower be? A shop vac will trip a breaker if it`s on the same cct as something else. For every 25` of standard extension cord you loose 1 volt, , when the volts go down the amperage goes up, blows fuses(or breakers) IMO you are only looking for trouble.

It`s not how far you fall...it`s how high you bounce back up...

Dude, Do yourself a favor and buy a REAL TM, 18hp-26hp, 36-45 blower.
I will NEVER go back to a electric unit. I've hade 4 different portys and 2 TM's...You will be so much happier with a REAL TM.
Don't waste your money. Some of what is said about ETM's is "HYPE".. Don't fall for it.

Michael;
Many thanks for asking.
Well just moments ago (yes, really) I received a comment/testimoinal from our UK Distributor of our (CE approved)SCORPION-3 super-charged system (European model version of our popular RECOIL-3HP system), and here was his remarks:
A true testimonial from our UK distribution location:
Ed: You will be pleased to hear this This customer has been through 12 truck mounts and is semi retiring he tried the Scorpion-3 and said he could have saved plenty of money over the years had he known earlier.!!! He is currently running 150ft of 2” hose from it, ( he has my demo machine) Best regards Nick, UK |

Ed,
How would you compare the effectiveness of a totally optioned out Recoil 3 to, say, a Boxxer 421 or 427? Performance, maintenance, etc? I'm not sure when I'll expand, but I want to plan for it. I'd rather have a "portable truckmount" if possible. |

I am not sure of European electrical codes, but in North America, all household lighting and receptacles (unless they are dedicated) are fused at 15 amps, regardless of the voltage, this 15 amps must run your heater, blower pressure pump and line loss to the truck, I have seen some residential electrical systems running at close to that 15 amps, so how would you clean their carpet?, I don`t mean to squash a potential sale, but it is nice to be self suffecient, and if you carry a genny, why not just get a slide in tm... Good Luck |

Ross Craig is from Lower Hutt. I believe thT HE KNOWS AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT Electric Systems.
You want maximum performance w/o the tripping of breakers. That's a hassle.
Thank you, and the very best;

Hi Ed
You can see from my mails that I am hesitating between Bane Klean and Spitfire 3.2, both entry level truck mounts. I still don't know the price of both.
BTW, can you please tell me if Ross Craig is from Auckland and his contact so I can at least see your equipment. The link you gave to me doesn't work
Can you give me the price for Bane klean please Euromount
Thanks
George

Well we have been building them for almost 30 years now!
Forward a e-mail to: www.cross-american@cac.net and request a "pre-view" of our brand new web page(s) and design and we'll forward that for your review.
Hope this helps.
BTW, Ross Craig (new Zealand) has five of our POWER BOOSTER Systems and loves them.
Good Fortune;

Thanks Cmaster, thanks a lot.
From what I can see the best solution for me will be the Euro truck mount because of its 220/240 V power installation the same we have here in New Zealand.
I am waiting for BANE CLEAN TO quote me the price.
