Never heard of it.. You have a dump valve.. fill it with a garden hose from the kitchen faucet.. take off airater on faucet connect your adaptor then your garden hose run to your solution tank with a shut off valve adaptor at the fill end so you dont overflow like I did a few times and lost the customer forever..

What i've gathered from the board is that a porty can do the same thing a Truckmount can do, it just take 2 or 3 times longer, personally my porty works beautiful and I don't even have heat!  I just want to add a booster because that way I won't lose any suction with a 50' hose and fill and dump attachment so I don't have to worry about that. I just want my jobs to be alot faster because even though my porty does a great job, I feel like jobs take too long. I just don't know where to get a fill and dump attachment for my porty and I also want to know what the other guys on the board think first, especially someone that has used this type of setup or is currently using this setup right now.

I was thinking of doing the same thing....what I can gather in talking with people and reading this board is that a porty is crap after 50' of hose. Because my budget office is refusing to give me any more monies...,ha ha ha,....I am having to go with a porty system too. I thought about leaving a porty in my van to make the customer think I am dragging in hoses from a truckmount system....then in speaking with the folks who have hauled a porty for years, they recommended I put no longer than 50' of hose on my porty. Boils down to learning your system, believeing in your system, selling it to the customer, and doing a heck of a job. good luck and let us know what you do.

Where can I get a fill and dump attachment for my portable? I'm thinking of getting a booster and 50' hose aswell so that I can just leave the porty in the truck, what do you guys think?
