Here is what I would like to know ... anyone know where I can get sight tubes for the rotovac powerwand?  I had one custom made last year.  The powerwand is 1 /12" I believe and the hose is 2".  I think we had the wand end going inside the wand, of course hose screwed into the other end.  If you have a source and price, please share.  I'm in Oregon.

I have emailed them, piledriver.  Did not see the sight tubes on their site but hopefully they know where to get them.


Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

Seems like an obvious question but did you contact Rotovac in Washington. They do carry lots of accessories.

I will call them tomorrow.  The online list of products they have is very limiting and drives people to look elsewhere.  But that is a good idea.  Thanks.

Are you aware that the Rotovac 360 offers two different heads?
 
One for grout & hard surfaces and one to exchange for carpets.

I had thought about using the tile/grout heads at on time as agitators.  Might be possible.  But you might need to wear them down a bit by running them on concrete for about 30 minutes continuously.  Let me know if it does a good job without damaging the carpet fibers -- get a used carpet pulled out of a home getting new carpet as you test material.

Not recommending the procedure, as most bonnet units are modified shampooers and you can get shampoo heads for them.  But if you want to go into a job with less hardware, it might be the ticket for you.
