How to Make DIY Carpet Extractor Cleaner 

awesome! glad this video helped you guys save money and get a way better machine

thanks bro, you'll be amazed at the power it has

You’re the man Bob, they worked absolutely perfect. This thing works like a beast! Thanks for the advice.

you're welcome. glad it helped

For real.

yea, I would buy this type of module. would be better if the unit was bigger for cleaning home floors.

For somebody to make a profit it he'd need to charge 2X. 20% doesn't hack it. His labor is worth something.

@@metatechnologist what are you talking about? Not to create it. But just source the parts... 20% upcharge for sourced PARTS is standard in most industries... plus shipping & handling. You'd never charge 200% mark up for only being the middleman... not if you actually wanted to have any marginal turn over.

@@jenr8049 Yea ok to make it would be 2x at least what I was thinking. Just dumping a bag of parts different.

I know exactly what you mean. It’s the same as when u lift the nozzle off the carpet and the air rushes in and all the water quickly disappears.

I never cut the orange hose, the black fittings on the end unscrew clockwise. I use that as my regular vac hose too.

Thank you.

Lmao it’s “The Vin Dissel”

I have it where I like it I’m using a 2.0 orifice 40 degree nozzle. It definitely puts out a good amount of water and gets the job done. I agree it can be a bit to much water if you’re not careful. I’ll make another video soon trying out different nozzles and flow rates. I’ve just been so backed up the past few months I haven’t had much time

Yeah the air gun wasn’t the right choice for this. You have to get a dedicated carpet extractor trigger valve. You can find them on Amazon.

@@bigpete405 sounds good and I was thinking the same and I took the air gun apart and can see where water wouldn’t work. This video is still very helpful

if u had a pressure or diaphragm pump you can use a small tank, you need water pressure to create the mist

I put a spigot on a 5 gallon bucket. I’m going to get a bucket heater and a 12v pump to run hot water through it. Not super hot, maybe around 150 degrees.

U have to get a diaphragm pump or a pressure activated pump and hook it up to your water tank. On amazon they’re about $100. SEAFLO 110V 3.3 GPM 45 PSI Water Diaphragm Pressure Pump - 4 Yea... $99.99 Free Shipping for Prime Members look that one up.

I know what you’re thinking but it’s not the same. U need the water to soak the fabric and basically loosen the dirt just prior to the suction. If you spray down and allow it to sit it will seep into the cushion material and that’s when mold can form if they don’t dry properly.. I’m going to make some really good videos soon. I have a designated hot water line in my garage just for this setup now so I can test all the extractor setups

I can tell You this from full experience. The clear plastic really allows you to know when the upholstery is clean. I have the stainless one from amazing with the clear window and it doesn’t give u an accurate visual. The stainless one is easy to use and hooks right up to the vacuum as well. I’ll try to make a video showing both

@@bigpete405 could a clear section of hose accomplish this without having to build an entire wand? probably harder see though

Water heater from my house I plumbed lines into garage.

Thank you!

No sweat! Wire clamps are da bomb for the in-the-know fabricator/fixer. Over the years I've been given a half-dozen or so pneumatic air hose lines by roofers and such. Once they rip or develop leaks, the repair involves a male/male brass fitting and two hose clamps. Well, it doesn't take long before they throw the hose away since the hose clamps catch on *everything*. However, with the wire clamps... Those connections catch on nothing. Hell, just this last week I was up on the roof installing some D-ring fall arresting anchors. I ran one of those spliced-numerous-times hoses through my hands with no worries about torn flesh or damaged roofing shingles because of hose clamps. If you've worked with safety wire before, it shouldn't take long to wire clamp something successfully and make it look positively factory. If you've never worked with safety wire before, stick with it until mastered. If there's one bit of advice I can give, it's dress, dress, dress, that wire as you tighten it. Happy fabricating!
