Sheer Massive Vacuum Power

I wonder what fan blades would do. It seems interesting if the blades created the updraft and you just vacuum out the top instead of the sides. Anyone know what happened with that lawsuit with swabby? I think it was over the flocculent contaminant separation.

Chris, I'm with you. Even if you didn't reclaim or filter, eliminating the rinse would be a dream come true.

I don't think those are fan baldes....think about the frame the swabbyis built on.....now think mower blades.Being used for supports to extend the spray bar and tips out to the furthest reach of the deck.
If they have found a way to bolt spray bars onto the stock mower blade mounts many of those spindels need the weight of a blade to spin effectively.
I may be completely wrong...just how I looked at it.
 
Looking at the video again I guess they're not fan blades, but I wonder what would fan blades do? Could you create enough draft to help lift the water?

Also, the spray bar connections at the center, they look like they have a screw-on collar. I would like to use that type of attachment, does anyone know about it?
 
Talking with Bill Clemons a couple weeks ago, the swabby does not have 8 nozzles any more, they switched to 4. He also mentioned that he has built a 72".

Scott (Squirtgun), I do not think the mower blades are for support, its probably to direct the water, a standard ztr blades has a lot of lift I think the ztr regulations cap the speed at 19000 feet per minute. The swabby does not spin that fast, Bill mentioned 3000rpm.
