3 Job Day Using a Portable Extractor

[@stonwall9065]

Mitigation/Restoration guy here. I have saved whole condo buildings with PORTABLE extraction. We use dehu’s and air movers for the evaporation, but extraction first. Pulls >80% of the moisture out. Less time to dry, less risk of mold catastrophe.

[@stonwall9065]

I’m talking multiple floors, dozens of units affected after pipe ruptures. Tens of thousands of sqft soaked and ready to mold. Walls and ceilings caving in

[@Lateralgrip]

@@stonwall9065 Absolutlet=y portables have there place. We work on appartment complexes and a truck mount would limit our mobility.

[@carpetcleanertraining8020]

Good job man, yeah my mount went down 2 weeks ago permanently. Ended up in Sacramento, getting another one from Proline. We still have to meet up sometime.

[@rockstarcarpetcleaning916]

Love proline. We only use a portable were Sacramento based.

[@shawnabbott9876]

Keep rocking it man I used a portable when I started as well

[@Sharpsolutions1]

Hi pal. Sorry to hear the tm is in the shop. Portables have came along way as you probably know and that portable could do with a vacuum upgrade to 2 x 6.6 lambs. It sounds like it has 2x 5.7 motors. When I have to use my portable it’s either on the van or at the door outside the home. It obviously saves the lifting. I know it’s only temporary but it will make a huge difference to the dry times and lugging around. Great video👍🏻

[@seanhiatt6736]

I have a Rotovac Monsoon with two 6.6 inch vacuum motors and it has plenty of power for cleaning carpets.

[@hittyman4023]

What about tile?

[@seanhiatt6736]

@@hittyman4023 unfortunately Rotovac only manufacturers them with a 500 psi or 220 psi pump, so you would have to use a water otter to run a spinner tool. However for me, because I own a janitorial and floorcare business; I have 6 six extractors plus 8 floor scrubbers and CRB' s so it's not an issue for me.

[@SunshinestateClean]

@@seanhiatt6736 man you dont need a tile spinner for tile, ive used spinners and ive used tile wands works the same just the spinner is faster

[@Island_man]

Is the rotovac good thinking about buying one

[@DasViking]

Are you still liking the monsoon? I'm really thinking of getting one.

[@goativated]

Did you put any chemicals with the water in the portable?

[@genelyngorospe72]

Hello sir. ❤😊 great video as always! ❤😊

[@AM-ft9bv]

Is it just pre spray or do you put detergent in the machine too

[@PNWTraveler]

Is there a hose attachment for the portable that allows you to keep it outside or in the van? Or would a hose that long affect the suction? Thanks

[@ulyssesbullock7261]

Tommy what is your cocktail for removing pet stain and odor??

[@ForThyRepublic]

Hey! I've been watching your videos for a while now and would love to learn the trade. I live here in OC and would love to come work for you!

[@jasonschmidt3127]

Thanks for this video! I’m curious on the first job how many times you had to fill and dump the portable?

[@greenrhinoproject]

Twice

[@jasonschmidt3127]

@@greenrhinoproject Right on, that’s not too bad.. I see a portable in my future, right now I’m just trying to get started with VLM and I’m struggling just to get my first couple jobs booked.. Boosting FB posts is not working and I’m about to try google ads.. Anyway, thanks for the videos and inspiration on KZbin and TheCleanUp!

[@ohanaclean]

If youve got the dual 2 stage, its most likely around 95 cfm, these units usually made with vacs in series which limits the CFM, the newer rotovac monsoon or mytee breeze is closer to 225 cfm as they are in parallel

[@runzization]

Just an anecdote from owning/operating LX, Rotovac, Mytee: Actually one of the really unique things about LX Mytee Vacs, and Monsoon Rotovac motors is their Single stage motors and are in fact placed in Series not Parallel. This vac arrangement for both Monsoon and Mytee is optimized for keeping the auto dump running smoothly/keeping up. To have dry carpets (lift) and power at the wand the standard to aim is 12.5" mercury and 250cfm which can allow a functional 100' of 2" hose. Anything less than 100' then yes an old Speedster with Parallel HP 3stage is comparable. Every system has its place for bigger upholstery clean (50booths) I use Mytee breeze with air hog (150') and it's the perfect balance.

[@ohanaclean]

You are correct! I am incorrect about the series vs parallel, thanks@@runzization

[@lovingeachothernow]

@@runzization I have a ton of Mytee machines I don't hate them but I'll be selling of of them in a few weeks from now. I've been wanting to build my own ETM with 4 vacs and it's almost completed I'm just excited.

[@greenrhinoproject]

@@raym5284 Yes you can help speed up dry times like that.

[@TripleSFloorcare]

Yeah you need vacuum booster and filter and heat booster to makes it worth really.

[@DiamondSt8lows]

Will the booster help in my case? I have a 1020 Tennant it runs 100psi lol. $4800 machine, will that increase psi? Mines a non heated

[@seanhiatt6736]

@@DiamondSt8lows you can buy a water otter to increase your water output and a Myee instant hot heater for heat.

Hey all. I appreciate all the content, as well as reading the comments for more information. My question is Using a portable. Keeping it in the van or at the doorstep, upgraded with the Vacuum booster Filter And heat booster How does the portable compare now to TM? If it it’s a legit competitor ide like to know what portable to get? Thank you in advance for anyone answering this question!

[@Beluel]

@@Stand4Good You can get a Rotovac CFX ZX powerful and has auto dump at a good price, compared to a 21k truckmount

[@daryladams494]

You want to look for water lift not CFM. CFM is essentially how long you can run your hoses, water lift is how much suction your machine will produce.

[@dukeridercalgary]

Hi , I have been watching you 3 years, you are my motivation!! And finally i get my business license , i have ninja 500 psi no heater, i have one question for pls help me , what chemicals would you recommend me , not strong smell something neutral, ( pre spray for carpets, stain removal , and something for upholstery, ) thank you so much 🙏 peter from calgary

Build your own truckmount, it's easy. If you build it yourself you'll be able to repair yourself without dealing with the shop.

[@Beluel]

Can you build one for me?

[@ishorneramsey4244]

Love your content! Maybe you can explain to us what you when you deal with a customer requesting you not to use their water .. Very common on the east coast lol thanks again for the awesome vids

[@greenrhinoproject]

I never had that issue myself. I would have to pass. Thanks for the comment!

[@elvinhicks2320]

Wow ! I never had a problem with that, I currently have a truckmount but I started with a potty. I just tell the customer I need a couple of buckets if water from your tub or sink and they just say ok. I received over 200 5 star reviews using my potty and telling them I need a couple buckets of water. I didn't ask them I told them I need water to do the job.

Hey Tommy I bet dropping back down to a portable is like trading a Cadillac for a Pinto. You still did a great job tho

I'm still not convinced by truckmounts. For me, most jobs in UK can be best done using a good portable.

So, are there limitations on VLM? Because you are not cleaning with a rotating machine in the pet stains.

A truckmount can put somebody out of business. What about after you get the truckmount within a week something else goes wrong with the truckmount that wasn't related to what was wrong with it a week ago, then you'll be waiting again on the truckmount doing the same thing you're doing right now. It looks painful to be honest.
