About the SC21v Vacuuming Surface Cleaner-
You need to use any tool correctly, and understand the maintenance..
The swivel has a big advantage.. it is rebuildable on your tailgate, in just a few minutes,
and with a very inexpensive kit, BUT, It is sensitive to debris in the seal surfaces-
The mechanical seal is two very flat, polished surfaces..
ANY debris that gets between allows the surfaces to stand apart, and spurt water out the bleeder-port.
This explains why Nigel’s swivel was leaking on and off.
If it bleeds, open it up, clean it out, reassemble, and get back to cleaning like hell.
If you are having an on-going problem, call your pit-crew. Eh?
To eliminate issues of debris in the water causing you grief at the swivel.
Our SCv has a 50 micron filter now, but we’ll get a finer filter to solve that problem immediately.
Any of you that need the upgrade, just call me for a FREE one. SOLVING problems is what a pit-crew does.
The true path to strength, is the elimination of weakness. You clean, WE do the equipment. Eh?
You guys that suggest you might build your own need to realize that as you are sidetracked,
your competition is out there specializing in cleaning for profit, while you are less profitable,
and feeling all alone ..AKA no pit- crew at your side.
I know you have had to wade through some severe junk, and limited help in this industry,
But keeping the Faith alive, and using it wisely is an important management skill. Eh?
About the Filtration,
It is a balancing act, unless someone wants to throw a bunch of money at it,
I’m ONLY assuming you guys want the BEST performance your money can buy,
so you have to communicate. Tell your supplier what the jobsite is..
Underground parking in Buffalo is different from a parking garage in Phoenix,
as is different at a typical Wal-Mart in Florida, or California.
To start with, 20 microns is fine for protecting the pressure washer.
If it costs you an extra set of HP valves every 2 years, your accountant will tell you buy ‘em,
when he sees we’ve decreased the baby-sitting required of the filtration.
Particulate filtration is typically aimed at the 1 to 10 micron range, because the water looks "kind of" clean.
But you will be cleaning filters (or throwing them away,) every few hours.
That’s just NOT profitable. Here’s what IS.
Catching the bulk of the debris, down to 20 microns is quite manageable, and
through a pressure washer pump, for re-use, 20 micron filtration is fine.
Yes, the holding tank will have a dirt-stain at the bottom, but,
why spend more on filtration than necessary for workspeed ?
Filtration should be done in stages, for manageability.
Have the sweeper-guy come by for the big dirt and debris that would clog the surface cleaner.
A SandTrap gets the big-heavy stuff, the waste-tank filter screen gets the lighter debris.
Together they allow the auto-pump-out to work easier.
Next, the OWS with that ultra-efficient OilPhyllic fiber of ours, gets out that oily-greasy debris from a parking lot,
and you wanted an OWS that could fit on your trailer. Eh ?
Also, You have to be careful of what and how much soap you use with anyone OWS.
It makes a HUGE difference.
And about that soap. our CarbonFilters and FoamTrap may be added for your application.
IF you want more dirt-load capacity, add more 20 micron filters,
and if you really think you’ll benefit from finer filtration,
we’ll show you how to do it without sacrificing performance.
Call, or e-mail any question. we will never waste your time.
Your pit-crew is standing by.
And there you have it. Thanks for posting this Jerry!!
