 Topic: Improving Portable PerformacePosted: 13/February/2007 at 2:59pm |

I have a 150psi Ninja portable that I recently purchased. I realize now that I should have gotten the 250 or 500psi model instead. The 150 psi is OK, however a little extra would be nice.
Has anyone ever replaced an existing pump with an upgraded one? Can you run 50' of pressure and vac line instead of the 25'? Thanks for any suggestions |

If you purchase this unit from Kleen Kuip we would gladly take it back for an upgrade. Try calling your distributor and ask if they will help your out with your dilemma.
But, also kieep in mind that the 150 psi & 150 lift Ninja you purchased is capable of 50 ft. already.
You can swap out the pump for a larger one but it becomes more expensive. Better to cut a new deal while your unit is still new.
Thanks for joining the KK Forum.
 We look forward to your posts. |

Thanks...I purchased it in Calgary about 6 months ago. The supplier won't take it back and has suggested I try to sell it used and purchase a new one.
They told me that you can't run 50' on this unit...I should try it out and see how it works. I think I'll hang on to it for now and purchase a reciol 3 with a booster in the future so that I can run 150'. I like the versatility of a portable...I do a lot of commercial work. |

CleanEvo,
Most of our customers use a 100 psi Ninja with 50 ft. of hoses. you can also purchase a booster vac box for a Ninja that will take you to 265" of water lift. Put all the hose on you want.
Call me if you'd like to discuss it.
Ninja makes a 100, 150, 250, 500 and a 1200 psi machine. The confusion may be that Kleen Kuip sells the 250 and calls it a 200 psi as we believe this pump will last much longer running it at 200.

Thanks Carpetoligist...I'll give you a call.
Interesting to hear from the TM boys. I cleaned carpets for 15 years with a TM. A truck mount and van won't do me much good 28 floors up in a Calgary tower. It's funny, when I ran a truck mount I was happy when I made a $100 an hour on occasion doing residential jobs...now I average $100 an hour doing commercial and no call backs and no "Mrs. Jones" scrutinizing my work...and no truck mount...best of all...no gas. Wait till gas is $1.50 to $2.00 a litre...better sell your truck mounts now while you still can. "Mrs. Jones" certainly isn't going to pay for your gas.

Looks like you needed to do better work, would avoid those call backs. Bet you miss the ease of a TM, no buckets of dirty water and filling up. Nice to goto a job and run two lines and go for hours. I for sure don't miss the portable days. As far as gas a good TM theses days use very little gas, and with the heat and power of a truck mount you need a lot less chemical which cost way more. So as far as saving money think you are spending more. Would also hate doing a flood with a portable. Just my opinion.

I use very little water...pre-vac, pre-spray, agitate with the buffer, light rinse & extract, bonnet dry...don't have to dump much at all. As far as the ease of a truck mount, that's fine if you're doing 3-4 residential jobs a day, however I prefer the portable for multi floor commercial...I do very little residential...only referals.

Multi floor commercial you say?
and you use a 5 step process? your distributor ripped you off buddy he should have sold you a Cimex. - - no noise, only 1 chem, no pre spray, no post bonnet, no BS :)
