I used one at Summerfest. It sure made a big difference on David Gargan's TM! I was really impressed by the quality construction of Terje's units too. The one I saw was about bulletproof! I plan on purchasing one made specially foir dual wanding. Our TM does great on one hose, but just can't keep up with two. These are worth considering! Take care, Lisa |

Lisa,
One would have to keep up on the heat end as well if a true dual wand is going to work right , Not . Or maybe that isn't a issue with your unit ? I really don't know if my Butler would keep both wands a crankin.( HOT that is.) |

Steamer, how long does it take you to earn $500? How long does a vac booster last...five years? Ten years? Now divide your cost out for the expected life of the machine...you are literally paying pennies a day for it. Don't be pennywise and pound foolish. This tool will easily pay for itself within the first couple of months. Take care, Lisa |

It's worth the money guys. Divide the cost out ... A glide can be used WITH a booster for even more performance. A kunkle valve too. These are all just tools to help us do jobs, better, faster, easier, with less chems and quicker dry times. It all makes you money in the long run. Kunkle valves, glides, vac boosters, hi-flow wands, Xentherm HX's... all are going to revolutionize carpet cleaning. They already are. Mark my words. Take care, Lisa |

OK the Ken Harrias answer you asked for it Reguardless of how big a blower or moter and how fast it spins you can only get so many CFMs and lift from a Two inch Vacuum line. By taking the power curve closer to the wand as Lee Senter says "like viagra for my truck mount" I proved my point at summer fest in Knoxville hooked it up to several truck mounts each with large and small blowers vacuum was improved. If you cant see the value that is your choice another great quote from Lee Senter "the colour of the water you leave in the carpet is the same as the water in the waste tank"

I have never had anyone complain about plugging anything in, and I used a Rotovac for eight years, and a porty with two cords for 10 years before that! It's an enhancer Steamey. It takes the system you have and maximizes it. I will buy one to make dual wanding more efficient. Being able to dual wand with plenty of airflow makes it well worth the money spent on it. Good tools pay for themselves. Take care, Lisa |

Electric boosters work fine, as long as the unit being boosted is also an electric unit being boosted. Electric boosters(epecially those using only 1 electric vac motor) don't work well when applied to TMs using PD blowers for one very good reason: Most PD blowers raise the lift in the system to 12" to 15" HG, while an electric 3 stage motor can only go up to 10"HG at best under very low cfm(less than 30 cfm). Meanwhile, the much larger PD blower is providing over 200 cfm. So what happens? The PD blower ends up pulling air from the much weaker electric blower. No advantage. Steamer may not be able to explain why it does not work, but at least he is smart enough to know that it doesn't. lol ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

The true only answer is to get a bigger blower... or park closer to the house if you must...lol 1000 bucks... if your goint to spend that much on that crap spend a few dollars more and do it right... what your gain with that plug in you might be loosing from your truck mount... your truck mount even with the booster will suck through the booster. why because the truck mount suction is much stronger than the suction of the booster. your blower back at the truck will work harder. maybe on a long run of hose... like 400 to 500 ft... but for the average 100 to 150 ft.. waste of time... thats for a portable ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

The booster works. Ed Valentine held the patent on it for many years.
Actually the lift of the booster must be a little less than the base unit, or it will pull water thru its motor. Its function is to substantially add airflow or cfm, and it will do this no matter what size blower is on the truckmount or portable. Even at maximum lockdown it won't lose air or vacuum thru the booster because of a check valve on its exhaust. The second the lift at the point of the booster falls below 10 hg (like when you pick up the wand or such) then the booster smoothly kicks up the airflow another 100 cfm over whatever the machine has. The effect is way more whoosh!! at the end of the hose where it meets the carpet.
It works very well. Thanks, Lee |

They don't work to give anything like 100 cfms to the system. A centrafugal electric vacuum motor can provide EITHER 100 cfm under zero load(no vacuum) OR up to 10"HG with almost no cfm being produced. At even 8" HG, the lowest lift any vacuum system should be run to work properly, the 3 stage vacuum motor produces less than 20 cfm of air flow. Now if you want to pay close to $1000 US for a device that only adds 10 to 20 cfms to the system that already has at least 200 cfms going thru it, be my guest.

I...like alot of other people on this board enjoy the helpful information from people like........MR. Steamer, Doug, Lisa Simth, Lee sentner, Ed valentine, Ken Harris and a few others. Posts from Waldo seem to be worthless and sometimes insulting and they aren't even directed towards me!!! However, to put very simply, degrading someone like Mr. Steamer and his expertise is just plain stupid and no one can respect this sort of behavior. I think most people will agree.

Gentlemen; The debate regarding the POWER BOOSTER System is always appreciated, but in this case, alittle rediculous. Lee Stockwell said it the very best, as always, because of his true Engineering background and history. Therefore, enough said regarding specifics other than the fact that, YES, I had invented this unique system and have refined it to the point of simple and pure perfection, period. No, I don't believe that it looks funky when or if the operator plugs it in to a customers home. And, NO, once again, Ken has put his foot in his mouth on his know-it-all knowledge as Gospel in regards to the POWER BOOSTER system. I might remind him that I am the inventor, and therefore, perhaps I am the one that know if this works with positive displacement pumps, or not. Just a few true remarks.

Ken; Now, you know with that last comment that you are not shooting from the hip my friend. And, that is what is destroying your creditability too. You will not find one person---after all these years, Ken---who will comment negatively in regards to T's and our POWER BOOSTER Systems (that we began to market to this Industry as early as 1978) , period. ken, I remember clearly when I introduced and did the missionary work on CFM's and Airflow in 1978 in High-Performance portables. I recall being the --only one--- back then. Now, even yourself has converted and seen the value of this as well as countless others and our competition. You know what I am talking about sir.

They work okay to boost a portable or TM powered by electric motors, but have no value when combined with a PD unit.The PD blower is at least 10X stronger in terms of airflow, and sucks the air right thru the weak underpowered electric motor during operation. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

Ken still hasn't revisited reality.
It's sad that a newbie to this biz might be misled by him, or be persuaded to make a critical choice based on his advice. I have friends in his back yard (no not his chickens), and I have to smile at his grandiose claims about his business history and accomplishments.
Thanks, Lee |

my question is??? if your only running maybe 100' or 150' of hose why would you need a vac booster??? sometimes I can run 50' of hose. If you need a vac booster at those lenghts something is fatally wrong with your TM. maybe I read wrong maybe it's for bigger jobs??? over 250 ft?? or for double wanding..?? ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

No Steamer, it's for putting money in it's sellers pockets, without providing much in return to the suckers that buy them. Only those with really weak TM vacuum systems and of course those with most portables will find any value in them. ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

A squirel on a treadmill is what Terry puts in them. When he can't catch anymore of them, he has been known to use a 3 stage vacuum motor. lol ------------- Inventor of the Teflon Wand Glide and the Turboteck Rotary Air Duct Cleaners for TMs. |

It is whats inside the vacuum chamber and baffle system what makes it ZING!
We use PD blowers at the oil refinery and vacuum boosting systems some what of a grand scale compaired to carpet cleaning. Just had to make it smaller so you dont need a crane and 18 wheel truck to transport just about 40 pounds except the one Lee Senter has made that one out of stainless plate. more like 55 pounds. the vacuum chamber is the same for all truck mounts I do change the size of the vacuum motors depending on the vacuum requirements for different Truck mounts. In this case one size does not fit all needs. N1 |

so you have a stop valve in the chamber that closes when the electric unit comes on....right... what happens if your truck mounted unit doesn have enough suction to open that valve in the chamber??? is that how it works??? ------------- www.mr-steamer.com |

all the end user needs to know that it works
again its about how it is baffled in the vacuum chamber. no moving parts in the chamber. thats about all you need to know except where to send the money. N1 |
