Mytee How-To: Operating the Mytee Lite™ Detail Extractor

[@ElarrioFx]

Awesome product I recently just got one myself and I’m grateful for this guide thank you!

[@myteeproducts]

Thank you!

[@msheron]

Great quick overview of this machine. A few questions on the machine though…….. 1) Can you use tap water that is on a softener system; 2) What de-foaming solution is best and is that placed in the water tank or recovery tank; 3) When done with a job, can you clear the lines of the water by simply engaging the wands trigger to empty out the remaining water or does that have the potential of burning up the pump; 4) And lastly, to winterize the machine can RV grade antifreeeze be ran through the system?

[@myteeproducts]

Thank you! 1) Yes! 2) We don't have any official rec's for brand but either powder or liquid will do. We put it in the recovery tank when we use ours but some cleaners prefer to put it inside the vacuum hose or sprinkle the powder direct onto the surface they are cleaning, this is fine also. We wouldn't add it to the clean water tank. 3) It's a good idea to trigger tools at the end of jobs to release any built up pressure before disconnecting the tool from the machine, but this won't clear 100% of water out. You do want to avoid running the pump dry, if it sucks in air bubbles it may need to be force-primed when ready to run again. 4) Absolutely!

Hi I just got the Mytee lite 8070. I just wanted to know if I'm supposed to put in any Cleaning product in the water to clean the seats and carpet or do I not need to use any cleaning product with this extractor.

[@myteeproducts]

Up to you! You can pre spray areas with chemicals and rinse them out with clean water or add a low-foam solution to your clean water tank, just make sure whatever you use doesn't create too much foam in the waste tank

[@isaiakrozell2409]

@Mytee I know the order of buttons to turn them on, pump, heat then vacuum. What Im wondering is Do I turn the switches off then in the reverse order , turning the pump off last? Also, Do I have to turn the machine off to refill the solution tank and dump the recovery tank? And also, How long can I have the heat and Pump turned on before it hurts the machine? I would really like some answers and I know you can help me. Thank you!

[@myteeproducts]

1. Order you switch them off does not matter, you can turn them all off at once even. 2. The vacuum needs to be off when dumping the recovery tank, but the heater and pump can stay on 3. Quite a long time, the heater has a thermostat that will prevent it from overheating. Basically while they can't just be left on indefinitely, it wouldn't be something you would need to worry about when used normally and shut off at the end of use

[@isaiakrozell2409]

I have the problem with the water heater which stops working and because the cables are of poor quality and burn very quickly, the other parts are very good the vacuum and the water pump

[@rickydanielson7953]

Hi there, great video, but I still have a couple questions that I can't seem to find answers to (sorry if they sound silly). 1) You said it's not recommended to put powder based solutions in the solution tank; but I want to put down a powder based solution into the mattress, and use this machine to rinse it off. Would that be okay, or would that not be recommended? 2) What temperature water did you put into the solution tank? Can I use hot or cold water; or is there a better temperature? Can I use tap water? 3) I want to use it for larger mattresses, does the 4 foot upholstery tool attach to the longer vacuum and solution hoses? 4) For a few items, I need to use cold water to rinse it off. Can I use this machine with just the pump and the vacuum, without engaging the heating system, or does it only run hot water extraction? 5) This one seems extra silly, but can I adjust the amount of pressure with the water spray trigger, or is it fixed? Looking forward to hearing back!

[@myteeproducts]

Thanks for the questions, happy to answer them! 1. That is fine! The powder solutions can leave sediment in your pump that may affect it, but with this method it does not go through the pump so it is okay. 2. We use warm to hot water from a sink for best results from the heater but any temperature water can be used up to 140ºF. Higher than that may damage the pump. Tap water is just fine, but if you have harder water you will need to descale your machine more frequently. 3. The 4 inch upholstery tool included with the machine can be used with a longer hose yes. The 15' included is enough for most applications, but up to 25' of hose can be effectively used with this unit. 4. This unit can function without the heater engaged and operate otherwise normally as a cold water machine. 5. In this unit the PSI can not be adjusted.

[@pejay6287]

Will this work well or have enough suction power for the other attachments for home carpet use aswell?

[@myteeproducts]

This is the appropriate size carpet wand to pair with the 8070, though we recommend using it only for small areas or spot removal. If you need to do large wall to wall carpeted areas we suggest a full size extractor like our speedsters www.mytee.com/products/8390-ez-single-jet-carpet-cleaning-wand/

[@ericyuan-h8z]

Is the diameter of the 2005CS and 8070 vacuum hoses the same?

[@myteeproducts]

No, the 2005CS has a 1.5" hose, while the 8070 uses an 1.25" hose.

[@josephmcvey9195]

Hi I just purchased one I'd like to know what are some cleaners and shampoos we can use from home depot in the mytee 8070 to shampoo cars ? I don't care what anyone says iv clean 100s of cars with dawn it's safe gets the grease and works even when using a shopvac but I'd like to know if dawn is safe for the machine?

[@myteeproducts]

We recommend using just plain water inside the mytee lite to act as a rinse for chemicals applied as a pre-spray. If you do wish to use a solution inside your unit, we reccomend you only use low/non foaming chems.

Looking for a carpet cleaning machine to clean the hallways of a six bldg condominium's. Is this the one? What type of warranty?

[@myteeproducts]

For commercial carpet cleaning we would recommend a larger model extractor like a Speedster, which you can find at mytee.com. We have one of the best warranties in the industry parts labor and major components

[@qfromjuice4684]

can you do a video for the S 300 heat or is this the same instructons?

[@myteeproducts]

Watch our out of the box video for the S-300 and S-300H, it includes instructions to operate like this one

[@hgang9022]

I have a mytee 8070 as soon as I plug it up it lights up but when I turn the pump on it shut off the power breaker I need help

[@myteeproducts]

You need a 20amp outlet to power this machine properly. Using a 15amp breaker can lead to tripping the power when all components are on concurrently.

[@bengarcia6898]

I thought in the manual it says to use defoamer in the recovery tank and not the solution tank

[@myteeproducts]

The important distinction is whether it is a liquid defoamer or powdered. We do not recommend putting any type of powder-defoamer, detergent, or anything else-in the clean tank as it can lead to issues down the line with build up inside the pump. Liquid defoamer is fine to use in your clean solution tank though, and powdered defoamer can be effective if put directly into the recovery tank, so it never ends up going through the pump.

[@alexisrodriguez7769]

What’s the difference on the 8070 & the hp60 spyder can seem to see the difference besides the size?

[@myteeproducts]

Besides the difference in size, the HP60 has 20% more heating power and a slightly stronger vacuum. It also has the buttons up top for easier reach and a bucket height waste dump valve that makes emptying a bit easier

[@O3ODORSOLUTIONS]

Can I use a duel jet wand ? I already have the single one - just want to know if a two jet wand will work with it.

[@myteeproducts]

we do not recommend a dual jet wand with this machine

[@trini3272]

Whats the best solution you recommend for this machine?

[@myteeproducts]

We recommend using just fresh water inside the machine, but if you do plan to mix in a shampoo chemical make sure it is low foaming and in liquid form, not powder.

[@derellscott6695]

Can you run this on a 15 amp circuit? Or do you need a 20 amp circuit to operate it?

[@myteeproducts]

With all components on, you need a 20 amp circuit to run this unit. However, you can run it without the heater on a 15 amp circuit.

What does it mean if the plug glows orange?

[@myteeproducts]

What do you mean by glows orange, as in it has an orange LED light inside?

[@derellscott6695]

Is the hot water from the Mytee 8070 hotter than the Mytee s300H?

[@myteeproducts]

Both have the same 210º max temp, but the 8070 has a higher wattage heater, meaning it will get to that temp faster and hold it better.

[@Kpkryptonite3]

What does the top lid do?

[@Mal230f]

That's the recovery tank.you can use the opening to either clean or remove debris from the tank.

[@myteeproducts]

What he said! It gives you access to the recovery tank to be able to clean it, access the vacuum stack and check the filter. You can also add defoamer to your tank from there

[@DrippysMobileDetailing]

@@myteeproducts how does the defoamer work in that tank? I was assuming thats the tank that just holds the dirty solution or am i wrong?

[@myteeproducts]

@@DrippysMobileDetailing you can pour liquid defoamer straight into the recovery (dirty) tank to prevent foam buildup inside from incoming dirty water which can harm your vacuums. Just make sure to not pour it down the vacuum stack or it kind defeats the purpose!

[@nachomandetailingservices1057]

Does it run off regular 20amp garage plug.

[@myteeproducts]

Yes any standard 20amp 110v-120v outlet will be able to provide proper power to your 8070

[@caponeboxer4608]

I feel like mine doesn't heat for a long time. Do i need to put hot water in

[@myteeproducts]

starting with warm water in the solution tank can definitely help the heater sustain temperature for longer. We also recommend two dry passes for each wet pass to allow the heater time to get back to temp

[@LittleItaly011]

How much water do you use to fill up the tank

You could have pressure in the line, making the QD difficult to engage properly. Try relieving this pressure by using a pencil to press in the metal nipple inside the female QD on the machine.
