Clean install and easy to follow instruction. i have an almost identical set up (just a little bigger tank that have the pump built in) ...also i think u meant schrader valve for pumping air via the air compressor.

I think the ik foam pro 12 can already take a line from an air compressor. I’m not sure, I have to check. Great idea though!

[@trophyking9685]

i’ve thought about connecting the hose of a cheap steamer to the air/water hose and that way you have the pressure and the hot water

[@AbjectMaelstrom]

Thank you for an actual DIY video. Most of these KZbin detailer "DIY extractor" videos are dudes going "you can build your own extractor... Here is a link to a $200 kit from our sponsor🤣".

[@Kid617]

would it be possible instead of cutting the hose could u thread a fitting to accept the air line

[@k.beeler4240]

If you have the ability and can do so, just add an outside water spigot connected to your water heater... I know not everyone could use this idea but some could. Your only using a small amount of hot water so you shouldn't have issue over taxing the water heater. I run hot water through a cheap electric pressure washer sometimes, You would be surprised how much it helps get stuff clean. My setup is only for the occasional home use, this would not be feasible for a detail shop. For that you would need equipment specifically designed for that application. Good hack! thanks!

[@jdbussin-qt1fv]

i have the same setup but having trouble the hot water coming out cold because it’s pressurized? dont know how hot i can put in the 2 gal sprayer

[@mrblister95]

Install a Schraeder valve into the pump sprayer. That’ll allow you to connect an air line.

[@vegasjai2824]

I have made a much beefier version with a 8hp shopvac, but I took a milk create and mounted a small instant hot unit and am using the exhaust plus a aquarium air pump with a paint spray gun regulator to keep constant air pressure. An inline 5g bucket allows for easier h2o collection.

[@VacanaratBTubman]

I’m thinking of building one but the only thing is the efficiency of a Mytee or Sandia extractor seems more worth it. Moving around the vehicle plus they constant pumping and not being able to regulate temperature unless you have get a water heater as a mobile detailer is just a little too much time taking out and not necessarily a waste but you may as well go the extra mile. I currently use a steamer and my shop vac. I’m not sure why they haven’t just created an affordable backpack version of a hot water extractor that would seem more efficient. I’m thinking of just building one from scratch and selling it myself.

[@johnavendano9869]

That’s good man !

[@slingingearsburningrubber5759]

I would just install a valve stem which would easily seal once pulled into the hole you drill just like it does on your car rim. Then just use a emergency car compressor that has the clamp style fitting where it attaches to the valve stem.

[@donkeydiehard879]

Exactly what I did. Except I used a shrader valve that has threads from the inside then secure with a washer and nut. Sealed with rtv. A rim is metal so the car valve stem idea won't work because plastic will expand and contract with water temp. I already had a Ryobi cordless tire inflator. I have the one that automatically shuts off when it reaches the set psi. I leave it connected but it only turns on long enough to build pressure up. Not constant like an air compressor. Don't trust that on a $10 Plastic weed sprayer lol.

[@lucashurley7612]

What about the BIG ik sprayers? i bet you could hook them up as they have pressure valves. I know the hand units are 3 bar tell blow off.@@donkeydiehard879

[@toddlaplanteVT85]

You can get a 220psi mytee pump and run hot water from your sink.. still cost $ but a lot less than an air compressor and much easier

You are the man! I was thinking about a solution to this exactly with the same setup! The only additional thing is I upgraded the hdx sprayer to a battery powered detail king model from Amazon. Connected the hose with a 3/8” barbed connector. Similar to adding the compressor add on but no need to drill and no need for compressor. Everything is contained in the unit and stays pressurized. Thanks again for the idea!

[@Maleekus]

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

An idea I had... buy one of those immersion bucket heater wands and rig it so it goes into the pump sprayer. Then the water will actually boil inside the pump sprayer to heat your water, potentially it could even pressurize it until it vents???

[@noradaly1]

It never boils the water. Heats it pretty hot after a very very very long time. It’s best to put in the temperature you want and then put the immersion heater in the water to maintain the heat. However, you need to cover it as it will only keep the water warm. It will not be able to keep it super hot.

[@DJSHOWOFF79]

??? When your at a customer house how do you get hot water so you ask them????

[@mrg2687]

Hey bro get your self a 12 volt pump the kind you'd see on a landscaping chemical sprayer and mount that on outside of tank. Can be anything a bucket a sink don't even need the pump sprayer. Get a DeWalt battery and power wheels converter to hook up the pump to the bucket with air hose running from bucket to pump, pump to exctractor. Turn on. Wal laa. It's mobile, no sir compressor needed. And will have more water coming then you would ever need. Power wheels converter has on off switch

[@heanognegash3506]

Will this work ?

[@Pandacuddless]

Just got a Hoover spotless. used it last night and it started leaking on both tanks. If I can’t fix it with additional gaskets I will return it and pull out the shop vac and tire inflator. How many times did you have to repump to use up that 2 gallon sprayer?

[@premiumlifestyledetails]

had to pump it twice for the whole detail, and used a little over half the 2 gal tank

[@Dankcatvacs]

whats the tire inflator for?

[@Pandacuddless]

@@Dankcatvacs I was thinking to use it to keep constant pressure in the sprayer since I didn’t want to do it manually.

[@user-ty8qo8ej4p]

I have a suggestion for you. I don't know if it will work but maybe it's worth trying. Your vacuum have an exit hole in the back for blowing air. Maybe you can attach some sort of a hose from there to your water tank to keep the water pressure. If it works it will make for another video 👍

[@shannonp4037]

I thought of that with his last video but I determined that pressure regulation would be an issue.

[@stephenyip826]

Putting an additional load on the vacuum may affect its suction capabilities. The motor will now have to pressurize the exhaust in order to create vacuum when previously the exhaust has no blockage.

[@donkeydiehard879]

Will overheat the vacuum and the vacuum will lose suction.

[@sauceman143]

Don't do it.. it blows up..

How hot is the water you put in the HDX container? Do you have a rough estimate of how hot it might be?

As hot as you can get out of the sink I'm guessing.

[@angelrodrigiez2717]

how much water capacity can it enter?

[@yep5689]

Why wouldn’t you put a barbed fitting in between the 2 hoses other than that spot on bro

[@rickkern5785]

A battery operated air compressor ---like ryobi---that takes the same batteries as your drill would be a very quick pump up on your tank. You could leave the compressor hose connected to the tank and turn it on for 30 seconds to pressurize. I don't understand why you didn't buy a shop vac with a bigger tank. They are about the same price and way handier than dumping every two seats.

[@donkeydiehard879]

That compressor is useless. Save the money and install a shrader valve then by the $50 tire inflator with the set psi on it. Set the psi and anytime it goes below it, it turns on automatically.

[@ocampo23able]

There better suction with smaller tank

[@donkeydiehard879]

@@ocampo23able the suction on a higher horsepower/higher waterlift/higher cfm bigger motor will be significantly stronger. However, those things are a pain in the ass to haul around. Also, if you are using more than a couple gallons on an entire vehicle... You're probably not doing it right.🤷 (More to the other guy than you). I have a Sandia 3 gallon heated spotter I got for $150 used. The small Ridgid has more lift/suction than the spotter does. More than enough for suction for auto detailing. It's still my go to vac.

[@aRANDOMqUICKIEgunsandfun]

I like this idea more than having it connected to water supply for a outdoor spigot. Ive always noticed a ton of over spray from high water pressure on extractors and never liked that. This is the perfect amount of water plus you keep the hose short by carrying the water with you by the extractor.

And how would you give it more power lol. The motor that provides the suction is part of the unit and not replaceable and any sort of vacuum motor you could find will cost way more than this.

All my parts came in and then I realized you never showed how to set up the actual water pump. And then realized you probably ran into the same problem as me where you didn’t know what to do with the hose.

I just got that in the mail and am about to set it up I’ll follow up with a comment when it’s done.

[@fuuraa4765]

@@rudothomas2706 yes they are ordered seperately. the only one that comes with the wand is a male thread (im assuming it is since im not familiar with valve names but did a little research since i have an extractor wand) and you probably would need to order the quick connect female thread to hook up the wand. If youre pertaining to the hose itself, there are hoses that comes with a valve attached and some does not. if you cant hook up your hose to the extractor wand even if you already have the quick disconnect valve then your hose probably needs a connect valve. Im not sure whether what im giving you is correct since i dont have the exact image of what youre missing. but to put it simply wand has its own connect valve and hose is supposed to have one as well and youl need another valve to connect both piece together.

My friend has been pleased with this vacuum. I put it together and other than one of the wheels coming back out(which I had a bit of difficulty with) kzbin.infoUgkxnBiz5H40H0BTcRcPDEHZkcV2smSjfUD0 it was easy to assemble. It's worked well and the large size has been handy for vacuuming up sawdust around my friend's tablesaw. The wheels and handle make it simple to move around, so the bulky size isn't overly a negative, unless you're lacking on space. It has a bag that can be used to collect the dust, though it doesn't have to be used. It works perfectly great without it and it is an added expense when replacing the bag. If vacumming water, just leave it out. It comes with various attachments, which are handy. A durable bag attaches to the handle to hold them and I love this feature. It has good power and it's a nice option for a shop vac.
