How to set up a carpet cleaning truck Part 2 by Rob Allen

We picked up this new Legend GT truckmount about 6 months ago. We had heard that it is more simple to use and work on, better vacuum and holds heat better. But just because they make these claims doesn't make it so. So we put it to the test. And for several months we put it up against the dirtiest rat nasties we could find. How did it do? Excellent!
The extra vacuum with the optional 2.5" port opens up the unit to a huge increase in vacuum and lift. This delivers better dry times. The machine holds the heat very nicely and gets up to temps in minutes. I recommend starting in the cleanest room and then moving to towards the dirtier rooms. By then your heat will be cranking. The better heat enables the wand to cut through dirty carpet traffic patterns fast!
Over all the unit is a little cleaning beast. To top off the great cleaning ability Prochem listened to cleaners concerns. They made a nice small foot print that frees up a ton of space esp if you get the belly tank like I did. But probably the best thing is they made the unit very simple to work on and maintain. Critical filters and orifices used to be locate do the side of the unit making it difficult to access. Now they moved them to the front panel. How sweet it is!
Now its easy to see why Prochem has been a rock solid company through the decades. With the new Prochem Legend GT that have solidified that rock solid status in the cleaning industry. Rock on Prochem!

    HI i been looking into getting a truckmount i have been looking at ProQuem truckmounts. I have the ETM from Mytee but was not a big fan of it since it does not heat the water and i know thats important but i was able to do small jobs. Now i want to go for bigger jobs and dirtier. For a some-what beginner (I been in business for 2 years) what other truckmount company would you recommend me to start with? I looked into ProQuem, Sapphire and others. Would like to also be able to do tile and grout work with it since i been getting lots of request for it. Thanks for your time.

    Lucas Lutz Would be cool if they invented a fold away poly tank and you just hook up your on demand pump to it in low pressure well areas. Then just fold it away in a storage bag. Like the campers use for outdoor showers.

Is there any portable machine that will do the work as good or close enough as a truck mounted? Any advise would help. Is inspiring to watch your videos as I hope to see myself at some point in life with a successful company. Thanks for your time and great video!

    Every once in a while I see people saying this that they'd love to get a truck mount but can't afford one yet I don't know how much money people think they need to get a set up but here's what I did , I found a used prochem performer (the regular performer not the 405) that had been recently removed from a van I got the console unit,waste tank, 250 ft of 2 1/2 inch vacuum hose, 5x 50ft 1/4 solution hoses (all but 2 were shot) , hose reels, hydroforce pre sprayer, prochem quad jet wand, a water claw extraction tool, and the prochem original chem shelf from the van for $750.00 !! My original plans were to get a enclosed cargo trailer to mount the machine in but all those trailers on the used market at the time were way over my budget I'm actually glad they were I ended up buying a 1966 moris bros bumper pull 2x horse, horse trailer for $500 it ended up costing me an additional 300-400 dollars including registration for the trailer here's some links for pictures

    I like your set up but I wanted to know Why aren't the hose reels next to the machine? Is it because of the weight distribution? Moreover what do you do to keep your items secured when you are inside the properties cleaning and you have all your doors wide open? Furthermore what do you think about the Prochem Peak GTX2, would you use it for carpet and tile or go with something better like the Apex or just go for the Everest? From life experiences just because it's bigger and cost more doesn't mean its better. Lastly which van did you prefer the NV1500 or the NV2500? I noticed you have both. p.s. please be as non-bias as possible and try not to just sell one product do to sponsorships. pps is there any prochem truck mount that can indicate two oil tubes in the front - one for the pump and the other for the blower, just like the cleanco truck mount? PPPS I and many others, I am sure would appreciate a vs. match of the zipper ss and the bonzer, perhaps have the winner vs. Santoemma NS400 Dual Powerbrush or Santoemma Rotary Brush Wand.

    Not enough room out side for reels. I don't work in low income areas so security is not an issue. If I was an O/O I'd probably opt with Apex. Get 3500. Zipper and Bonzer are both great tools. I will work on a vs type video soon.
