Internal heaters on portables will not keep up to d down pressure wnad, or especially with a rotvac as indicated above.

Remember that the word: "Heater" sounds good, but most are given few amps/watts to make them worth while especially in 120v. But, enough to heat up your coffee cup in the morning!

I'd rather put any available amps back into the performance of the machine instead.

The very best;

When you use that inline heater heres what i did but not all the time.. You set your heater in the kitchen sink and hook it up to the faucet (adaptors needed) 20amps plug in right there and turn on the hot water.. Hook up your psi hose and you will never have to fillup just dump..]]> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 01:37:14 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5185&PID=145555&title=portable-extractor#145555 <![CDATA[portable extractor : Yes, use one in the kitchen and...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5185&PID=145548&title=portable-extractor#145548 Author: duckcountry

Yes, use one in the kitchen and one in the laundry preferrably for the extractor, then one in another room for the wand. And forget the heater with the rotovac. The power wand is drawing so much water so fast, the heater is not getting a chance to do anything. Just make sure the water you put in the extractor is as hot as you can get it from the tap.

The heater is running off the same circuit as the second vac I think so you still need three cords with the power wand. Heaters work great with regular wands but not with the rotovac. Remember these are inline heaters so the water is heated after it is pumped past the resevoir, not while it is in the holding tank.
