| This is a Sandia Sniper 6 gallon carpet extractor. It has a 100 psi solution pump, a solution heater and two vacuum motors. It really sucks! I comes with a 25ft of vacuum/pressure hose, two extension cords and a circuit detector. The circuit detector is used to locate two separate electrical circuits (that are on different breakers); when the light is green the circuits are on separate breakers. The heater and the vacuum motors draw too much power for one circuit to handle, so they have separate power plugs.; so each needs its own circuit. The best way to clean carpets is to pre-spray the carpet with shampoo, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, scrub it for better cleaning, and then rinse with water. Putting hot water in the tank helps the heater get up to proper temp. Hot water helps loosen the dirt for extraction. There is a drain valve in the back so you can drain the dirty water in a 5 gal bucket for disposal. |
