When the RipClean team is mobile detailing without access to water, which happens often, we bring our mobile 25 gallon tank with one of our small Harbor Freight transfer pumps. We use the portable battery operated Bauer transfer pump on many jobs and it works great and last long. I hope that helps.
@@turmainesteele2333 yes, it will create pressure inside the system and allow water to go into any tool that requires water under pressure. Even if the tool is higher than the tank. I wouldn't recommend a gravity fed system, although you can use the gravity to hopefully put less load on your pump
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Maximum or peak horse power is less of a concern. More of concern is the minimum recommended horse power which is 2 to 3 horse power.
Ive never used an extractor before but do you guys recommend spraying water while sucking it back? Or for example after using your soap do you suck that out then spray water and repeat? Just want to learn the most optimal way. Thanks.
Everyone uses a different method but after having done thousands of extractions here is our method, it’s really a two stage process for us when dealing with complex stains. Stage 1 1. Dry vac the area to remove any large debris or dirt 2. Pre spray the area lightly with water to prepare the fabric 3. Spray your cleaner onto the fabric (we recommend Thrasher Carpet & Upholstery Soap) 4. Let Soap dwell for a few minutes 5. For that initial extraction we do not apply water as we extract, we want to get all that initial gunk that the soap just broke down off the surface rather than blast it down into the foam pad Stage 2 1. Reapply soap, let dwell 2. Agitate with a drill brush or hand brush to activate 3. Dry Extract without applying more water 4. NOW you can pull the trigger and apply water as you extract. 5. Continue until you’ve flushed the soap from the fabric. *remember in extracting you do not want to soak the surface with a pool of water because you don’t want that soaking down into the foam pad where it later wicks back up.
How do we use the soap with the extractor? Is it possible to place the end of the water hose in a 5-10 gallon bucket with soap or does it need a spicket for proper pressure?
Thank you for your purchase and the question. Yes, you need the water pressure from attaching the blue water line to a water spigot. When we are mobile cleaning, we'll use a small inexpensive transfer pump to generate the small amount of water pressure needed. When we clean we apply our specially engineered for cold water cleaning RipClean Thrasher soap diluted 3:1 in a spray bottle, allow it to sit for a 2 to 3 minutes on the surface depending on the nature of the dirt or stain, then agitate with a brush or the RipClean drill brush set, then agitate, then extract while using the trigger to release a very moderate and controlled amount of water to assist with the extraction of the soap and dirt on the surface you're cleaning. Repeat process as needed. Hopefully, that helps.
@@ripclean hey i just started my mobile detailing business and got the kit, but having the issues spraying bc not getting enough pressure. What pump would you reccomend? and can i leave it on?
Definitely! One of the principle reasons for the creation of the Better Extractor was to have a set up that allowed people to more efficiently clean their furniture. We use it to personally clean our own couches! Additionally a lot of homeowners use it to clean their personal furniture as well as couch flippers refurbishing couches.
An in depth video on how this could work for mobile detailers with the transfer pump would be awesome
Hi could you share the link for the faucet adapter? Thank you
Any one set theirs up with a dedicated clean water tank of some sort? Trying to think of when there are times when there is no access to a water line.
If you are running a van or truck, get a 25-50 gallon water tank with a sump pump. It will take up space but is your best bet to solving this issue.

@@Lance57Hdoes the pump increased the water flow cuz the my water don’t make it all the to the end of the hose

it's work with karcher wd3?
Regarding a vacuum, what Peak Horsepower do you recommend for the extractor attachment?

Mine is not spraying. Ive used a needle already. Please help.
Hi! Can you please contact us at contact@ripclean.com for assistance.
Did you find a solution? I have the same problem
sell me a pump, id pay $300 if you sold me a pump for my mobile detailing set up
Inside scope. Stay tuned. It's coming really soon and it will be a lot less than $300. Make sure you're subscribed to see and order it first.
@@ripclean bruh!!!! Can’t wait
