Even if you can do a whole house with 60 gallons of water; do you want to be out of water at the end of it? No.
 
So get a bigger tank and have some reserve capacity for when you need more.

that's crazy! You're using too much water. I can clean an entire house with a 60 gallon waste tank. I clean at about 300 PSI though. Sometimes, if the carpets are REALLY bad, I'll take it up to 500, but in my opinion, with a good pre-treatment and enough heat, 300 PSI cleans GREAT.]]> Sat, 31 Jul 2010 13:51:06 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6666&PID=160939&title=60-gallon-tank#160939 <![CDATA[60 gallon tank : You are welcome ]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6666&PID=160902&title=60-gallon-tank#160902 Author: Ken Harris

Carpet Cleaner;
 
I would say about 500 sq ft in a residential setting.
 
Most people clean close to 400 to 500 sq ft per hour there.
 
If you are using a 50% duty cycle you are probably using .75 gal/min in water.
 
.75gal/minutes .80 minutes = 60 gallons
 
So you are likely going to be out in 80 minutes time.
 
I advise you to get a 100 gallon water tank ASAP or go AP. Only go to the 100 gal tank however if your van is a 1 ton model or 3/4 ton model with upgraded suspension.
 
 
Hope that helps.

According to my techs. They said they model of tm i have (spitfire 4.0) has problems with water temps going to high. I have had hot water shoot out of the mix box. Guess thats the price i pay for a used older TM. Anyhow they put in a bypass so if ot gets too hot the exvess goes into wastebox. Yeah it sux but i doing my best for now. If still goibg well i will upgrade to a new TM and van. Prior to my problem with temp i asked the sales guy how much will a 55gal wasterwater tank handle. He said at MOST around 6-700 sf. But by then i may see water or moisture coming from exshaust. (which i do). This is all i been told.
Any calculator for wastewater? Exp. Approx ___ sf to a gal of wastewater? ]]> Sun, 25 Jul 2010 11:00:42 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6666&PID=160841&title=60-gallon-tank#160841 <![CDATA[60 gallon tank : if you are using that much water...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6666&PID=160840&title=60-gallon-tank#160840 Author: doug

if you are using that much water you need to have the machine checked over .  It is bypassing way too much water.]]> Sun, 25 Jul 2010 10:43:53 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6666&PID=160840&title=60-gallon-tank#160840
