    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=467">Options</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 892<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 18/June/2005 at 11:53pm<br /><br /><P>This is my fifth year and I wouldn't attempt to clean any system with less than 2500cfm, preferably not less than 5000.&nbsp; Started out with a Meyer's General,&nbsp;but have now used&nbsp;Heat Seal's&nbsp;Truck Mount daily for the past 2 years. Also have a 2 yr.&nbsp;old Nikro EC-5000, but have only used it on one job. I'm spoiled by the truck mount and am not looking forward to using either of the&nbsp;portables again.&nbsp;&nbsp;There is&nbsp;a lot of good&nbsp;used equipment on the market, but I strongly&nbsp;recommend that you stay away from the rotobrush and its knockoffs. With rare exception in most parts of the country, these&nbsp;are&nbsp;all but worthless.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>A constant source of air is very important and you&nbsp;should&nbsp;buy the best two-stage compressor that you can afford. Air-powered agitation equipment (Viper and Scorpion Rod Systems) work best in metal ducts. Heat Seal's new 22" Octopus does a fantastic job&nbsp;in&nbsp;fiberglass duct board. Flex duct is another story though and depending on condition, an air sweep or gentle brushing may be the only tools that you can safely use.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also recommend the use of a camera to verify that each portion is thoroughly clean. I use a wireless infrared system and watch the monitor as I clean each portion of the system.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Duct cleaning&nbsp;isn't rocket science, but you should have a good&nbsp;basic knowledge of hvac systems, especially if customer satisfaction is important to you.&nbsp;To be effective, duct cleaning&nbsp;can't be done in an hour or so and&nbsp;at a minimum&nbsp;should&nbsp;include&nbsp;the evaporator or inside coil, and conditioned air side of the heat exchanger and if&nbsp;permitted in your area, the blower should be removed, disassembled and cleaned.&nbsp;</P><P>Hope this helps. </P><P>Ron H. </P><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Options</span>]]>

I have been paidby a local duct cleaning company to go behind them and "correctly"clean the ducts of a residential property, after the homeownerthreatened them with legal action, stating that they didn't perform thework completely. Knowing the owner, i offerred him my services with apro-spin system, he was amazed, the homeowner got digital photos of theinside of their ductwork as proof of a job completed, and i sold a"scent" package to the homeowner right there, where i use an atomizerfogger to "scent" the duct system. Basicially, running the foggerinside of the exhaust duct, going into the house. $75 to run a foggerfor 10 minutes, and $350.00 from the contractor to fix the problem. <br><br>Just my experience, look into them. Only problem with pro-spin, they to"kink" once in a while, but overall no complaints. Dryer vents, 30'chimney pipes, ductwork, it's all easy. NOTE: keep the cordless drillon an easy-slip setting, to avoid kinking the shaft.<br><br>Good Luck<br><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by JaredW</span>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=358">roy dudley</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 892<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 12/March/2005 at 10:41pm<br /><br />I've been using a roto brush for&nbsp;3 years now and love it , I also feel it does a very good job. Before that I used one of the attachment to go on the end of my truck mount hose, and it was worth less, I wasted $700 on it and did one job, and sold it on ebay to someone that was as stupid as I was for thinking that it would work, if the brush is not as big as the duct it won't clean it, all it will do is suck air.&nbsp; Why do you not like the roto brush? and have you owned one?]]>
