First of all, GREAT VIDEO! So please don't take this the wrong way: I just want to help: 1) You won't cause ANY damage to that blower if water gets into it. If there's no final filter (screen filter) you could get a small rock or a cigarette butt or something in there and that could cause the lobes to bind up. Water getting inside it, won't even cause it to rust inside ANY faster that it normally will. It will have to still be taken apart and de-rusted after so many hours to restore the lobe clearances once it starts binding up. It'll last about 6-8 months POSSIBLY A YEAR, IF it's WD_40'd every single day, before needing a complete teardown and rebuild if used in pressure washing applications. I've "accidentally" put hundreds of gallons of water through all our blowers, and they're all just totally fine, after 15 years of service and regular rebuilds. An air pump (like on a vac truck) would suffer a catastrophic failure, because the fiber glass vanes would break and need to be replaced, but roots blowers won't. They'll just shove the water out of the exhaust and keep spinning like nothing ever happened... sand and sediment and rocks and stuff, will certainly screw them up, but water won't. 2) The demo shows 50 feet of vacuum hose, and the surface cleaners bleeding out all over on totally clean concrete. With a trailer and equipment load like this, in excess of 30 or 40 THOUSAND dollars, he won't be able to pay for it, if he can't get more than 40 away from his trailer before he has to break everything down and move the whole system. 3) The demo, shows basically clean concrete. This is not reality... In reality, those primary separation vessels that catch all the water initially, will fill COMPLETELY UP with settled solids in about 2 or 3 hours IF he could even run the thing that long, which he wouldn't be able to because he's only running 50 of vac hose and the entire 50 radius around that trailer can be cleaned by an experienced vac-surfing crew in about 10 or 15 minutes, including set up time, the actual vac-surfing would take under 10 minutes. 4) The filtration system will completely give out and plug up and need to be taken completely apart and completely cleaned out and rebuilt about every hour. The evacuation sump pumps will bump into progressing filter back pressure in about 10 minutes and the operator or owner will probably be considering stabbing himself in the face about 1 hour into the job because he is frustrated with with his catch can high limit switch shutting his blower engine down every 5 minutes. 5) The surface cleaners are running on clean concrete with basically no sediment, once he puts this thing to work on concrete that actually needs to be cleaned, and that somebody will pay to have cleaned, the bleeding problem will only get worse, further causing thoughts of self inflicted facial stabbing, which is nothing but a last ditch effort to avoid the discomfort of the recognition that the technical challenges presented in this work are SIGNIFICANTLY harder to solve, than everyone thought to begin with. Those surface cleaners are basically (and I feel badly saying this) garbage and so are the bearings. Steel Eagle's 16" vac'surf deck is the best option, but you need to do a bearing swap because the two optional bearing choices it comes with will only last about 2 months before seizing up. A cheap easy bearing switch can be improvised, but the only way to make them work is to take them apart no less than monthly and clean them out with compressed air and new aerosol lithium. The only one easy to take apart and clean is Whisper Wash's new green bearing. you just need an adapter kit to make them fit the steel eagle deck, or have a machinist whip one out for you. If you want the solutions to ALL these problems, FOR FREE, go to our channel and subscribe to the "reclamation pressure washing "how to" series. We routinely run up to 400' of vac hose PER SURFACE CLEANER, with no leakage AT ALL, all day, everyday., cleaning millions of SQFT of the dirtiest shit you can find, with blowers that are 2" smaller and 200 CFM LESS than those suitor built blowers scirocco puts on theirs. They're good blowers, nothing wrong with them, but tut hill's 4005 is 330 CFM, cost about 1000 dollars less, they weigh less, are easier to repair and rebuild, and last longer! My channel is not monetized, there's no catch, I'm just helping guys get started in this work and make the reclamation transition without going though all the pain that we went through over the years, perfecting the methodology. Good luck! Tell the owner of this thing to call me if he's still having problems.

Need openings in the disk vaccum causing the bars not to spin correctly.
that looks so Sic-fi lol love it..
Nice !!!
Do you sell the 12v submersible pump with flow switch?
No we do not
