Anyone know of a good reclaim system that filters the water for reuse?
I have a vacuum and it does clog up quickly. I haven't bought an oil water separator but judging by how fast the vacuum can clog I can see where the polishing filters would be almost useless with any sginificant flow of dirt to them.
I like the hydrotech azv 55. It is one of their newest products I think. Anyone have any suggestions on it? http://www.hydroteksystems.com/teksheet/ts-acc-azv55.pdf
It looks nice and is compact, however they limit you to 50 feet of hose and it is not portable where you can bring it closer in if needed.
You would be better of with this, so it is more flexible. http://www.hydroteksystems.com/rec-pvr.htm
Doug,
Is the sump still on the very bottom of the waste tank or did they change the design?
Chris,
I am not personally familiar with that unit, but the spec sheet tells me that if you were to use it on short hose runs of 25 feet or so it would work. Moving the vacuum can get tiring, but it gets the job done.
I upgraded the motors in my Eagle Power vacuum that Vacu boom uses and instead of the normal specs of 202 CFM and 87" water lift, I have 224 CFM and 106" of water lift. I can use the 24" tool with 50 feet of 2" vacuum hose and recover just fine.
CFM is important, but do not neglect the water lift, aka Hg aka inches of mercury. These tools need good lift to function correctly.
The Nikro vacuum that I have set up for a few people and walked others thru to make their own is dual motor and 230 CFM and 110" of water lift.
All in all a good vacuum. Price is very fair, the drum is steel so it will not collapse under heat stress and i have not heard any complaints. One person I know had to replace motor brushes due to extensive use, but that is normal, like tires on a car.
