The 1003 I have is less than a year old. Like I said, try one out if you don't believe me. The lower the psi you set the thing at, the faster it pumps water into the recovery tank. Edited by FriendlyHammer - 28/November/2008 at 4:29pm |

friendly... the 1003hv is identical to the 1005 dx except the 1003 hv has heat. as I am keyboarding this I am looking at a blow up scetch of this machine. From the primer switch at the bottom there is a hose that goes to the solution tank and a note written beside that reads. quote: If pressure builds up too high the valve allows water to return to the solution tank. end quote ... maybe mytee made changes in the last 3 years since I purchased this machine but that change wouln't make sense. If you would like to see this info send me a fax # and i'll fax you this document. As far as the universal booster is concerned I purchased this from steambrite last august. It's not manufactured by mytee. the vac booster is a 3 stg vac and screws onto the top of any machine with the screw on lid such as the mytee, diamond back and others. go into the steambrite website and you can see it there. search for "universal booster".

My 1003DX has a priming lever. When depressed it pumps the water from the solution tank into the recovery tank. When the machine is running, water still moves from one tank to the other. Mytee explains that they have adjusted their 500 psi pump to work at 450 to increase the life of the pump. That extra 50 psi is going into the recovery tank on my machine. If I run my machine at 200 psi, even more water (250 psi - in other words, more gpm) flows into the tank. I've compared it to a demo model and found the same thing. Perhaps yours is different than mine, but those are the facts. Any doubts? Test my explanation with a new demo model. You'll thank me if you do. Also, I still have yet to see a universal Mytee booster. Yes, others make them, but that's not the point. Although it is a fantastic booster, the Airhog is by no means universal. It won't work with any other machine on the planet. If you are serious about carpet cleaning with a porty, then I urge you to consider tank size as one of the most important factors in making your decision. If it's a hobby, or if you are the only employee your company will ever have and you don't care how long or hard you work, ignore my advice. Happiness is based upon perceptions, not the facts.

Watchman is correct about the steam brite universal 9 stages of vac, the air hog would 10 stages of vac and lil more lift due to the 2/ 2 stages . The bad part to the universal boost is it is attached to the top of waste tank Drag baby drag is the problem. I think a inline boost like savages inline or the nordic would be the absolute best system nut the best system comes with a price 1100 - 2000 for a booster 100- 170 cfm. |

friendly ... I have to correct you on a couple of points you made pertaining to the mytee . I own the mytee 1003 hv. when the pressure builds too high the cleaning solution is returned back into the solution tank not the dirty water tank. I also own the universal vac booster which is a 3 stg vac motor and attaches to the solution tank lid on any porty with the screw on lid and can be purchased from steambrite for 399.00. I now operate my porty with 3 3stg vacs. my mytee is 3 years old and so far not a single problem...great machine very powerful. I run 100' of hose from it every day. for a porty it rocks.

How is the Mytee booster universal? the only one I know of is the Airhog, and it only works with the Mytee.
Also, the biggest tank you can get is more important than price if you are going to do serious business. If you don't have an autofill/dump, then you have to spend time emptying and filling the machine. How much would you pay to reduce your trips to the sink by 40% (or whatever number) for the life of the machine? If you pay someone $10 and the save 1 hour a day, you'll make back your money in 3-4 months. I retired a 20 year old Castex last year, and I can only imagine how much I could have made with a tank that was bigger. Certainly a 6 gallon increase would be worth tens of thousands. And in addition to having a relatively small tank, the Mytee pump is actually a 500 psi pump that is set to 450. The excess 50 psi is being pumped into the recovery tank, so the darn thing is filling up faster than any other machine on the market. If you are able to see a demo, just watch the water drop in the solution tank while the thing is running. Open the recovery tank when it is empty and watch the water flow in. It's crazy. I own a DX, so I am speaking from experience. But if initial cost is your only concern, the Mytee can't be beat. That's why is sells so well. Edited by FriendlyHammer - 27/November/2008 at 7:53am |

Any input on recoil vs mytee dx 1005.The way I see it mytee is 1000 cheaper than the xps. I get this number from DX w/ Booster . Mytee has 2 3stage vac a optional universal 3 stage booster 125 of lift x 300 cfm is 37500 vac units. I think it has lil more vac units than recoil. Recoil 2 3stage vacand 2 stage booster built in . But the recoil has auto dump on that model included. bOTH UNITS HAVE 2 inch ports both units have 450 psi pumps. Why is recoil the better choice . 1200 dollars more for the recoil care to build some value . Inmy opinion a C/C on budget would want the Mytee. But I do like The recoil with the 40 gallon tanks
