“Russell, I thought I’d drop you a line on our Cleanco Compact 47 PTO now that it is 3 years old. As far as performance goes, as you know we run a 2 man team with the PTO. We have surveyed our customers and they tell us the carpet is dry in 3-4 hours even when we dual the machine up. The water temp consistently runs at 230C+. We have had very few problems with it, the occasional belt to be replaced, nothing really serious. We have the van serviced about every 5000 kms, at this time the machine is serviced too, it seems to work well not having the van and the machine off for separate days for servicing. The one thing I have noticed is the fuel savings. We use the PTO for most carpet cleaning jobs, our fuel account is far less than what it was prior to the PTO. We have also measured the amount of water we use on the average job and we were surprised on how little water it actually used. Overall we are really happy with the machine for obvious reasons. It cleans carpets, it’s cheap to run and there is little down time.”
