We use a glide on our porty. My crew would probably quit if they had to use an unglided wand

another eclipse would probably be ok, I am to new to know yet. I was thinking more if I needed something more like a power wand for rough traffic and very dirty. I'll probably be doing alot of rental houses of mine and people I know in the rental business. I have saw equipment that does carpet and t&g with the same rotating head. do I need real high psi if i use something like this or do i need heat still. can you recommend something. the 2nd extractor is for larger two man jobs or as back up.]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:12:55 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5158&PID=145163&title=wanting-to-expand#145163 <![CDATA[wanting to expand : "i want to expand and purchase...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5158&PID=145161&title=wanting-to-expand#145161 Author: John L

"i want to expand and purchase another portable, what should i purchase". Why not another Eclipse.?

Do you need glides? Not for a portable..

Kelly, if you want to expand your next purchase needs to be a franchise. They can teach you their way of doing everything. Or if you want to learn on the job, you could work for nothing at a competitor (which is next to what the immigrants make there) and you will learn what it takes.

It is nice that you are optimistic but part time means hobby. How is your business plan coming along? It had better shape up from a fast food restaurant napkin with the words "Get Me A Carpet Cleaning Business" written on it.

IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN
YOU PLAN TO FAIL

Or you can buy my book Humility And How I Obtained It, a 191 page book illustrated with 190 pages of ME! Sold at the same news stands carrying the now familiar Flabby Farts magazine. Pick up YOUR copy today!

I have just started in the cc business. I am going to work by myself. It will be part time along with taking care of my rental property. I have already purchased a Eclipse from cleancraft, 500 psi, 2 heaters, 3 vac motors and a s bend wand. for t&g they sold me a high pressure wand and a water hog 1200 psi. my question is if i want to expand and purchase another portable, what should i purchase. I think I might want to get some commercial carpet and t&g. Thinking 2 man jobs. do I need some srt of agitation for carpet as well as t&g. Is there a machine that will do both without having to use the waterhog for high pressure.(t&g and carpet) do I need to get another machine with similar specs. the eclipse takes 2 power cords. Is heat, psi, and water lift all equally important. also for my wand do i need glides. also in extreme heat or winter time, if i put my portables and chemicals inside at night is everything else ok left in the vehicle.

thanks so much in advance
