My porty has a built in heater but with any porty with doing t&g cleaning, the heater won't keep up. There's too much water going through as the same as pressure washing. It's around $3.500 - %4,000 for the porty and then your tools. I usually run anywheres from 800 - 1,200 psi. Have to be careful that you don't blow out any grout. If you know how to do grout repairs it's not too bad.


Have a good one. Mark

Thanks Paul. I get a pile of hits on it and been a great asset to the business. Every little bit helps especially with T&G cleaning as most people aren't aware of it.

hmmmmmmmmmm they don't look too much different and pretty well the same design features except for the vac. adjusters available on the Turbo. Like I said, I don't mean/intend to knock the other tools, just stating my experience(s) with mine. This is my Turbo with my porty.

$hit. How do you upload a pic from my computer?

Not really. Turbo comes with a brush ring as well so if you're doing a rough textured surface, it doesn't gouge the plastic ring on the bottom. Gouge the bottom and when you're doing porcelain or a natural stone, you could leave scratches etc. I'm in no way a schill but expressing my experiences. Less water being left as well as you can control the vacuum. There is virtually no water left after cleaning so you don't need the air movers on so long before you can seal which means quicker production rate.

 The second one you posted Splash, I'm not familiar with. I know a guy who's helper ran over his Turbo by accident with the van and it did not hurt it at all.
