Ted:  DOUBLE YOUR LABOUR COSTS!!!!  WHAT KIND OF DUNG IS THAT??  What would that add to a 300 sq. ft. room all of about 5 minutes  from start to finish.  Now the hot box?? I do appreciate the difference with heat.  But the vacuum thing is a complete waste.Guitar]]> Thu, 27 May 2004 21:03:02 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=417&PID=4313&title=dry-time#4313 <![CDATA[DRY TIME? : jackblack If your porty is a...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=417&PID=4309&title=dry-time#4309 Author: carpetologist

If your porty is a 500psi Ninja and you are looking for faster cleaning and quicker drying times you should look at the Hyper Box. We sell for $799. This is an additional 2 vac motors that will take your lift from 140 to 260. Now you will have almost truckmount capabilities.

Booster Box

The other alternative is to add a portable hotbox that takes your temperature from tap temp to 205º F. This will allow much faster drying times through quick evaporation.

Your idea of a double pass will also double your labor costs. Also keep tuned for a new style wand taht will be first introduced on this site. It will allow single pass cleaning through its advanced spray design. I just love new gizmos especially ones that allow faster cleaning and additional profit.

P.S.
Everyone says tap temp is enough. Try cleaning from 180º F to 205º F and you will never go back.

Sorry I don't have the technical answer you are looking for. I am a salesman and only focus on sales ideas that work for my customers. My technical knowledge is vast but makes no money.

thanks that was just what I was looking for.

I know a lot of guys who use porty and just make 1 pass total period!

Jackblack:  Good question.  When I am training someone tm or portable I want to overlap by a half with wand and a minimum of TWO EXTRACTION PASSES FOR EACH PRESSURE ON PASS.   But that is just my way. But each extraction pass will remove more moisture.  But I feel two is plenty,  but if it is an 60oz carpet 3 or 4 maybe necessary.  That one extra pass could cut a half hour off drying times which makes you look better as drying times seem more important than cleaning results on some occasions.Guitar]]> Thu, 27 May 2004 12:01:54 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=417&PID=4292&title=dry-time#4292 <![CDATA[DRY TIME? : If I use a 500 psi porty and make...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=417&PID=4291&title=dry-time#4291 Author: jackblack

If I use a 500 psi porty and make only 1 pass and get a dry time of 2 hours. How will making 2 passes effect the dry time? will it be 1.5x or 2x or what?

I mean this only in a general way under normal humidity lets say in the GTA where no fans are being used but the house does have AC.

ps. dont tell me its a dumb question I already know it is :)
