HOMEMADE SHOP VAC EXTRACTOR | WITH *HOT* WATER! 

Great idea. Maybe get like a rolling cart or something to put them both on to make it easier around the car.

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

The best video to date on the diy conversion. 💪🏾💪🏾

Nice! You can always get a bucket heater and heat some water in a bucket and dump it into the pump for us mobile people

Great set-up. Thanks!

Starting out I used to just steam the cloth seats and carpets and just take a wet vac to them , decent results.

dude thank you so much for making this video. is there any update on the air compressor valve?

Awesome video. thank you for the idea man

Great setup 👍

as a detailer myself I built mine with hot water but used a $50 tankless hot water heater from amazon works great

Great video, I'm going to try it with a keg.

I heard you can use Ironton ATV Spot Sprayers since those come with built-in compressors

you can tape the wand from the pump under de vacum house also then u can trigger it while holding the vacum hose. Just gunna have to cut the wand shorter.

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!

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!

I got a 5 gal keg off of FB market place, ball connector, flexzilla hose right to the quick release for the mytee.

I recommend you get an ik efoam with the battery so u don’t have to pump anymore

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

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.

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

This is so awesome and useful especially since I aint got money to get that 1500$ heated extractor, soon tho soon

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.

did you have the fitting for the compressed air on it or did you pump it instead

How dry does it feel after you’re all done??

That’s good man !

Badass!!! Thank u!!!

What do you use to spray detergent/cleaner on the seats and what cleaner do you use?

Use a on damand hot water shower. They sale the at any big box store like home Depot.

I build similar design but about think of drilling hole on rigid 4 gallon vacuum so won't have keep draining it. It will be tilting downwards and after done just plug it with tube or something.

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.

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

This guy. Well done... Those seats were pretty clean before the whole extraction process though

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.

You could use battery pump sprayer

My house has a hot water tap for the garden hose

What cleaning products did you use for the seat?

Where do you get that orange hose?

Where to get the coupler and hose all the bits ??

A dreampt of this crazy seeing this

Are you a mobile setup? Where on the customer site are you getting your hot water from?

How would you connect an air compressor to the water pump?

Can this be done with a 12 gallon ?

id probably just run a 12v pump from a car outlet to the hot water tank great idea ill probably build one for myself thnxs

Or a vapor rhino that does it all they are a 3 in 1

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

P-Town repping 😎

Where are you getting the hot water from

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???

How long does that water stay hot in there??

Can you link a 20 foot hose that would work?

Love

I use the hot water faucet for my washing machine

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!

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

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 👍

Try battery powered sprayer

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

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?

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

Bruh thank god

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.

What type of solution are you using ?

You use a ton of water, what do you do to dry?

Or you could just run your water hose to the drain fitting on your hot water tank (I'd add a water filter to protect from sediment)

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 ended up finding a solution I ordered a mytee transfer pump that is used as a replacement for there actually systems. 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.

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.

U should really zip tie the houses together lol it’ll make ur life easier

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

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

Instead of building an upholstery cleaning machine, buy the one everyone says doesn’t have enough suck and give it more power if that’s the issue?

Seems easier and less rinky dink to just buy the small lite mytee hot water extractor lol.

Not sure why my comment about using a shrader valve got deleted. By far the cheapest, easiest, safest way to do it. I came back to show you the tire inflator I chose because it auto starts and stops at desired psi. But comment was gone. Not sure if it's because I left the link to shrader valve or if you deleted it.

how much water capacity can it enter?

This is a great idea but if you have hot water at your shop then I would just hook it up to your faucet or add a dedicated spigot from your hot water heater.

Where do you get the hot water if you are out working? And doesn't that hot water start cooling off almost right away.

My mytee recently broke and like usual the warranty wasn’t honored I’m done buying expensive units that break so easy

Better Extractor instead of Mytee

Yeah I don't have time for all that. I'll just grab a RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Cordless SWIFTClean from Home Depot and call it a day

just stick the exhaust of the vac into the sprayer.... you already have this compressor...

There HAS to be a cheaper alternative to that upholstery tool. That thing is pricey!!

For the record, he was dumping puddle water into the storm sewer which is legal versus dumping the post-cleaning solution into the storm sewer which is illegal. Lol

Honestly a 5gal bucket heater prolly would have been easier and cheaper no? U just fill up bucket throw heater stick in wait 30 mins boom hot water run hose from 5 gal bucket into wand Or just get a longer hose and hook directly up to water heater garden hose like spout on water heater I stand hot water’ seems like a lot of extra work and a lot of clutter but Ty for showing how u did it in case others want to try if they have one built (the extractor) Hart at Walmart actually makes one of these extractor bad for like $129 but you’d have to add water line still But 5 gal bucket heater man they’re like $20

$120 for the extraction head for the vac. Man that is pricey.

Buy a steam cleaner and use that first then vacuum it out

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🇺🇲💙😉

Spanish not spikins english thank very

Also the majority of your links are broke

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) ru-vid.comUgkxnBiz5H40H0BTcRcPDEHZkcV2smSjfUD0 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.

Just buy an extractor at this point

By the time you do all that the water is going to be luke warm at best not worth all the money spent as its really not accomplished anything with Luke water warm. Fail...

It's absolutely trash the mark up is around the same price as the whole vacuum what horse shit 😂

your seats not even soapy bad detailing

Don't listen to tik tok.. Get a 50ft continental hot water hose.. You should have never cut your water line

hi i bought all the parts using the links in your description but i have a question about the vaccum hose, the one you enter from amazon one end is 1/4 for the attachments that come in the box but when i see your vid the hose u have looks like more like the other hose from home depot www.homedepot.ca/product/ridgid-1-7-8-in-x-10-ft-3-m-pro-grade-locking-vacuum-hose-adapters-for-wet-dry-shop-vacuums/1000141960 can u pls help me didnt get the wand yet still on transit? or can u tell me whats the attachment between the wand and the hose? thanks
