Okay, but there is still no way to raise water(warm) from 100 degrees to even 150 with 2000 watts of electric power at even a 1 gal/min average draw over an hour. That is 60 gallons to heat and the btu's are just not there, never mind the 200 degree temps that you are alluding to.I can do the calulations to show you that you cant if you want.

I have never alluded to 200 degrees not my figure. I have never measured the temp and don't care to. All I know is it's hot always and even hotter on those hot summer days when I can see the steam on the custys carpet. customers allways happy

That is where I got my 1001. Great machine, customers see if and realize this is no Rug Doctor. I had a solution hose develop a leak at the wand connector and drove to JonDon in Portland Oregon, 110 miles from here. While I was there picking up a few things like Perky Rakes and chemicals that would have cost more to ship than the gas itself cost me, I had them fix it for a few bucks. That is the only time I have had a problem with anything Rotovac shipped me. And the 1001 is a real performer. I wanted the 1003, was talked out of it by the salesman who claimed it was always blowing circuits. |

I assume your in Canada. yes you will blow circuits with 20 amp plugs. you would have to run with a generator. but I have run it in my own home a while back with heat off and only 1- 3 stg vac running and I didn't blow a breaker.

Yep. I can see steam any time of the year, just following my guidelines. |

Boy, I never thought that my posting about the Raptor would cause such turmoil. The bottom line is that everyone has their own preference of machines. That's why there are so many choices. I really like the Raptor I just bought and that's that. Everyone should spend less time arguing about machines and more time cleaning!!!

Not cased closed. Any heater will get water hot, but not at the higher flow rates. That was my point.

Didn't have 500psi at the time or higher flow.. At 250psi and 2-03jets its all good.. If you wand triggering back then dry up it gives the heater the time to get real hot.. Now if you keep the trig open constantly then you lose heat.. Have you used one..? Some guys never have but swear they don't work..

Nice pic, John. That's at least twice the steam I get, but it's proof enough. There's no convincing Kenny, but those of use who own such machines know better. That's why I asked others with similar machines to post. I have nothing to fear. Has Kenny ever told us anything accurate about portables the first time?
