CONVERT A SHOP VAC TO A PROFESSIONAL EXTRACTOR
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.พ. 2022
- Everything you need to convert your shop vac into a professional extractor. I have had my Ridgid portable Vac for a long time and have been asked this question a million times. Can you use a shop vac to extract carpet during auto detailing. The answer is yes kind of. In order to extract a carpet or interior fabrics effectively you need a water source to lightly spray the fabric while you vacuum it out. This water is sprayed in a precise area and amount based on the conditions. You need to be able to see what is being removed from the fabric through the clear viewing area on the extractor handle. This view tells you if the fabric still has either dirt or soap still in it and you can decide how much longer to continue in that spot. The attachment and the water spraying ability will make or break the process. I decided after watching a few videos and doing some research that it would be a great plan to convert my shop vac to have this ability. With the proper fittings and products your shop vac can be easily converted to a very usable auto detailing extractor or carpet spot cleaner. I have listed below all the parts and accessories that you will need to complete this project. This is a great auto detailing extractor kit that I like a lot. If you have any questions please feel free to ask in the comments. Thanks for watching and I hope you consider subscribing to my channel.

Thanks for your videos, I dove into my own detailing business because of you and a few other detailers on TH-cam. You guys are educational and give the best tips, so thank you very much!
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it
Thanks for putting out content that is right up my alley. Your information, links, and parts list are really complete. Good work.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Gosh! You could easily have been a university lecturer. So easy on the ears.
Thanks.
Aloha! Just bought the Mytee Air Lite and fittings using the links provided. Already have a spare Ridgid vacuum, Ridgid auto detailing hose kit, etc. No brainer to make this happen. You've got the most creative and most fun to watch auto detailing channel right now. Wishing you the best in 2022, brahddah!
Thanks man. I appreciate it. You will like it. It’s high quality. I am glad you enjoy the channel.
What a great job making this video and listing all the material and details. Enjoyed watching. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching
Your shop space is so nice! Love the conversion! Great work !!!
Thanks
Great video 👍🏻
You’ve got a real respect for your kit that is refreshing to see on video!
Thank you.
Always great content! This is a wonderful solution if someone doesn’t have an extractor.
I enjoy this kit. It works well. Thanks
Excellent! Thanks for taking the time to share this. Definitely something I'm interested in 👍
It’s a cool rig. Thanks for watching
Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I will be using this setup in the future.
Thanks for watching.
You put tremendous effort & thought to organizing this video. Maximum creativity and great execution! I’m gonna stick to my extractor though cause I still need my Rigid.
Thanks. I really appreciate it.
Amazing video, everything explained to perfection. I will be doing this very soon 🙏🏼
Thanks a lot.
I’d love more content with this rig, just found your channel, 🙏🏽 thank you for the content and your time
Thanks for watching
Whoa! That modification on that RIGID did an amazing job! It would be cool if RIGID actually offered that exact same set up as an already made piece that you just bought and hooked up! YEAH........................!!!!!
Yes. It would be a good add on. I guess we just have to make our own. Thanks for watching
This is just as good as my bissel proheat liftoff. I’m super impressed. Good video brother!
Thanks.
Can just tell you're a super cool dude. Thanks for the awesomely executed video! I have the same vac that I've had for about the same amount of time and I'm seriously considering doing this now.
Thanks a lot. Glad you enjoy the channel
Wow that worked great, nice suction. Great video Jeremy. Keep them comin!
Yeah buddy. Thanks a lot.
I love this setup. On tough jobs I had an issue not being able to use hot water though. So I found a cheap easy solution. I used a weed sprayer but any container that holds water and pressure will work. I didn't want to pump the bottle for pressure all the time. I Installed a shrader valve with male threads to the bottle and secured it with a washer, nut and rtv to seal. Hooked up my $50 Ryobi tire inflator that kicks on and off at desired psi and it works like a dream.🙌 Cold water is good for most jobs but is nice to have the option for hot water when needed.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing
Put your quick video out
@@kabelboy1able hook up the water inlet hose to a hot water tap. Wash sink, hot water heater hose bib etc. That’s what I do. If you need a constant source of extremely hot water this system might not be the best option. I can make a quick video showing this for sure. Thanks and I hope that helps.
@@HawaiiDetailing yea can u make a quick video. I appreciate it man
Great video Jeremy, never thought it to be possible but now I see it is, great idea, thanks Jeremy 👌
I actually like this kit a lot. Thanks for watching
This is beautiful. You explained it so simply. Can’t wait to mod my wet vac. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching
Dude you seem like you would be an awesome mentor at anything you do and talk about thank you for your time
Thank you. I appreciate it. That means a lot.
That's the way man!
Most of guys are over working and it's a never ending
In this video you are doing it right :)
Thanks.
Good stuff man. Just shared it on the obsessed garage group for everyone to see!
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it
The best video on this subject and information I have seen yet ! Thanks
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it
I’ve been watching videos about extractor and I just don’t watch the whole videos but you explaine everything really good and got me watch the whole video and the set up is great thank you
Thanks for watching
That worked very well. I like it. I wouldn't mind building it one day.
Perfect for what I’m looking for to do future detailing
This is a great idea and not very expensive solution for people! Thank you!
Thanks for watching
Your videos are always informative and sometimes funny. I agree this is an inexpensive workaround but unless you have it attached to hot water, I prefer steam.
Brother you always doing the best videos out there!! 😎👍🏼
Thanks Tony. I appreciate it
Enjoyed the video. You put a lot of effort into your channel. Thanks for that effort. From video shooting, editing demo of the product to all of the links in your description. Kudos on the cool project. Costs adds up on repurposing a shop vac.. I have been considering an extractor. I am a detail hobbyist and had been leaning toward the Bissel spot clean pet pro portable carpet cleaner.. Stay Safe!
Me too. I can’t afford to give up my Rigid.
Yeah. That’s a good one too. Thank you for following the channel. I appreciate it
Great instructions. I was able to follow it just fine using the 1.5 hose on my craftsman shop vac. This has some crazy strong suction. I use the hot water on my washing machine'shookup for hot water.
Good to hear. Thanks for watching
Your videos are the best your explain everything step by step and super clear
Thanks. Glad you enjoy them.
Exactly what I was looking for Jeremy...awesome job once again bringing the content we need to get professional results ourselves. BTW...joining the Tesla family today picking up my White on White Model Y Performance in a few hours...woohoo!
Nice. They are great cars. Thanks for watching
I love this channel. Its like watching your weed smoking uncle who is really awesome at detailing cars.
Hahahaha.
This is clever! Your brain never stops! We definitely benefit. Thank You for all Your hard work! I love this channel. Keep the great content coming!
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Glad you enjoy the vids.
@@HawaiiDetailing Yes indeed!!
Thank you for this video and for all the links, it was so helpful for me!
I just updated my website to make it super easy. www.hawaiidetailing.com/extractor Glad it was helpful!
GREAT Video. You are an EXCELLENT presenter / content creater !!!!
Thanks a lot.
You are a genius! I never considered using an air hose
You turned me on to Carpet Bomber, and this stuff is awesome. Plus I made this carpet extractor and it works like a charm. Thanks my man!!!!
Great to hear. Thanks
Dude, I like what you have done with your pressure washer set up, never thought of a mounted hose reel! Nice!
Yeah man. Thanks. I did not invent this setup but I customized it with parts and pieces to meet my needs.
I love that you painted the shop vac
Got to make it match. Thanks for watching
I love the idea of converting my Shop Vac into a shampooer / extractor. The thing I like the most is both of my shop vacs are over 20 years old and I can transfer it to another when / if it breaks. I have been using an IK sprayer to spray the carpet with carpet bomber and water in a spray bottle to rinse the carpet. It works but is definitely slower.
Works really well. Larger storage footprint but better quality.
Wow, that's actually really amazing what ya did! Heck yeah man 👊 😎 Have a good one 💯
Thanks a lot. Thanks for watching
Maaaane! You sold me that thing 🤣 didn’t need to see more i hopped to the home depot app and bought it.
Thanks!
Thanks for watching
My dude! You probably just saved me thousands of dollars 🤘 I'm a house cleaner that just started getting into very low moisture VLM carpet cleaning and floor cleaning, I think a rig like this would work perfect as I run my business out of my Prius. I have a carpet cleaning friend that told me about getting a six horsepower Plus shop vac for extraction on tile and grout and other applications for carpet and upholstery cleaning etc, apparently that has enough suction to make everything happen so a set up like this in addition to that would be perfect! Totally portable to compared to the professional "portable" extractors. I know they have separate water heating units as well so I could totally add one of those on in the future as well, but for now something like this would be totally good for rinsing and extraction 🦾 thanks!!
Amazing to watch.. Thank you very much for teaching me something new...
Thanks for watching
I built one thanks to you! It works great Thank you, I wish I could post a picture.
Great to hear. Thanks for sharing
That hose bib water hook up made me rethink this as I was looking at a full fledged "home" extractor thinking I would need a pump and tank. I got shop vacs out the yang. Hosing is kind of "thick" and hard to maneuver I would think over the regular bissel type. Thanks
Wow that suction is amazing and powerful
It works well for sure
Wow, so glad I found your video! Awesome explanation & showing it working. I'm ordering from the links you provided & I can't thank you enough. I'm mobile & this will be perfect for my set up!
Thanks. I appreciate it. It’s a good rig.
I have the same setup but air hose in a Cox reel connected to my 12v pump work like a champ. Love the color on the ridget
Nice. Thanks for watching
Great job as always Jeremy 👌🏽💯 i have one setup in my van but on a portable gas water heater....man it's bad ass and with hot 🔥 water......great job man
Cool deal. Thanks for watching
Great video thanks for the information. Gonna build one myself! You gained a subscriber. Thanks again
Thanks for the sub!
Omg im going to build this ,and am going to add the heat saber wand booster so i can have heat when im cleaning, thanks so much for this awesome video Hawaii Detailing!
Thanks for watching
Awesome explanation!
Thanks. I appreciate it
Excellent idea. Great job abs thank you for the tip
Thanks.
So Awesome! I wish I saw something like this a long time ago. I made due with a jank setup before buying the bissell pro, Having use the Bissell spot pro for two years I got sick of it. It sucks, yes it does the job but man its rough. I just bought the aqua pro vac and it is sweet, that aside I would take doing this over the bissell pro any day. What is even cool with this is you can buy a second vac hose and easy swap from vac to extract or to work more cleanly just get a 2nd rigid vac and you are golden! Great content!
p.s. the hart 3n1 isn't to shabby either.
Thanks for the info. Thanks for watching
Love the idea, I’m definitely gonna use the hose sock though, that would look way more aesthetically pleasing!
Gonna take it a step further though, hear me out! Get a fitting to connect the end of your kobrajet hose to draw your water feed from. You can simply turn the water on to your pressure washer wall install and then leave the pressure washer in the off position. So you can get standard water pressure and not have to tap the garden hose!
Then you can trim down the long air hose to make the whole unit easier to store away etc.
Just pull it out, plug in power, take the pressure washer gun off and plug your hose into the extractor and off ya go!
I just need to find an adapter to go from 1/4 to 3/8 so we can adapt the extractor hose to the pressure washer hose.
🤙🏼
Good idea for sure. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching
Any update on the adapters 1/4 to 3/8 ?
U ever find that adapter?
Good clean well thought out video! I predict millions of views.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it
Just stocked my Amazon cart. Can't wait.
It’s a good kit. I like it a lot. Thanks for watching
This was a great video…not an overhyped solution… I think I am going to make one!
It’s a great kit. Thanks for watching
Love this guy, sounds just like the guy in happy Gilmore. "Harness the energy. Rise above it. All good things"
Thanks.
@Hawaii Detailing I hope my comment didn't come off as snarky or rude, I was being honest and it reminded me of that happy Gilmore scene.
Love all your videos. Thank you. Smart fellow. 👍🇺🇲
Thanks for watching
Dang it man, this is a freaking sweet custom setup that I may have to try out! I've never been able to stomach the cost of a Myee even though I love commercial grade tools. Thanks for sharing!
It’s a good setup. Thanks for watching
i love everything about your videos ! thanks boss have the same shop vac atm ha
just debating if i wanna add this attachment even tho i do have a hydrosteam bissel
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Ok I've watched enough videos. I now love this channel.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it
awesome video, and you remember to say "YEEEAAAHHH" at the end.
Of course. Sometimes I forget. Thanks for watching
You are an absolute legend my friend!
Thank you.
Really nice setup. thank you.
Thanks.
Maaaan... You saved me a bucket of dollars. I was about to buy the Bissell, then your video show up. Great video BTW!
Thanks for watching
Awesome video. I took an auto detailing class and they didn't use any chemicals for cleaning fabric, only steam.
That works too. It depends on how hammered the fabric is. I use a chemical almost every time. Makes it easier and gets great results. Thanks for watching
Amazing video!
Thanks a lot
So cool Jeremy great video 😎🖒
Thank you.
I run truckmount machines for a living and this mod is easily 95% as good as a $70,000 van mounted unit, and your techniques are spot on too. My only question is if there's a way to incorporate a chemical rinse into the water flow? A neutral rinse helps pull out all the detergent and also PH balances the fabric.
There might be a mod to make it work. Will have to look into it. Thanks a lot for watching and sharing your thoughts.
They sell big jugs that you can fill with water and then pump it to pressurize i was thinking of using something like that to mix a neutral rinse.
They actually make a little water pump for the ridgid 5 gal at my Home Depot or I assume any water pump would work’ like a pond water pump or the tiny tiny ones they use for diy “portable ac etc’ anyway you’d just have to split your line run a hose from chemical bottle to pump and then other end tap into main water hose of your system and boom as u press trigger it should mix with your water/solution line
You’d have to home make it for sure no one’s gunna sell it but just get a hose T 3 way to tap into your water line on machine
But if you’re doing truck mounted U can figure it out! A truck mounted is gunna be so much better and have way more psi and suction / water lift this will do for home use but if u have a truck mounted you’re set buddy and have all the psi/ suction u need
Ian the Rigid has about 40"-50" lift whereas a Ninja portable extractor has 150" lift or 220" for dual 3-stage blowers so how is it 95% effective?
Great video. I wish I would have seen something like this a year ago when I bought my Sandia. It works great but just don’t use it as much as I thought I would. The shop vac option would of been plenty!!!
Thanks for watching
Amazing. Now I gotta call the plumber so I can hook it up directly to the hotwater and don't have to wait for professional extractor to heat up
Great video, fantastic, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Brother your pressure washer set up is sweet. I need to make one.
Yeah. I like it. My favorite part of the garage. Thanks for watching
Nice video! Looked good to me.
Thanks
Wow this was great!
Thank you.
The MyTee hand held extraction tool and other MyTee products are now shown on Amazon as "currently unavailable".
This looks like a great system. I've had a Bissell Green Machine and the automotive version of that machine, but they do lack suction power to pull the dirt and pull the water to reduce drying time. Even as a homeowner, I've got three family vehicles that need cleaning a few times a year, couches and upholstered chairs, small throw rugs and general cleanups. With the 6.5 HP Ridgid vacuum I already have, this alternative is worth the investment for a more professional clean.
An additional connection to mate with a kitchen or laundry tub faucet will also provide you will hot water to further improve the cleaning process.
I like it a lot. Is a good middle road kit. Thanks for watching
Planning to buy a wet/dry vac as soon as my extractor wand is delivered. One of the things i found out is that by using tap water which are not distilled has a higher chance of causing water stains to fabrics. you can also hook up the water sprayer into a light pressured water like pump sprayer or adjustable pressure sprayer.
I’ve thought about this as well, I’m hoping the RV water filters that screw onto the hose outlet will take care of
Most of this
@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 water filtering and distilling are different things. distilled water seperates the water itself from other stuff thats mixed into the water and water filtering just filters the stuff that is dangerous for human consumption. filtered water still has some minerals in it that may cause stain to the fabrics. my best bet for faster production is to just buy distilled water or do it your own if you have the budget for it.
for me im just buying liters of distilled water and since im using a pump sprayer i can just dump the water into the sprayer
Good idea. Thanks
Outstanding presentation! Mahalo.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it
This is awesome setup! Thanks
Hey Jeremy I didn’t realize you only posted this video 7 months ago but coincidentally this was around the same exact time I was looking into building one of these DIY extractors. I literally followed your video detail by detail and used your links to order all the stuff from Amazon. I appreciate everything you did to help make this possible!
So I did get my extractor going and used it multiple times. However, I just went to use it again right now and I am not getting any water into the air hose it seems like. I tried two different extractor heads. I unscrewed the fittings I previously screwed onto the water line/air hose.
I cannot figure out why I am not getting water into my extractor head. When I pull the trigger no water is coming out. It’s worked great in the past when I’ve used it. I literally cannot think why I am not getting water into the line or the extractor head. Also, I am using a garden hose as a water supply like you are in the video. I even tried it on two different hoses.
What do you think is wrong here?
Thank you!!!
I would trace the water flow from the spigot through each fitting to see where the water is being restricted. Separate the fittings as needed to identify where the water stops. There must be a clog or something that is causing this as the water should flow through with no issue. After you figure that out it will be an easy fix. Thanks for watching
@@HawaiiDetailing okay yeah Im pretty sure I found it. It’s being restricted in the fitting that connects to the extractor head. Don’t know how or why but probably just going to order a new one. Thanks!
@@russellesquivel-barker2270 I was going to suggest you look at the quick disconnect fittings. They are closed when separated and it's possible contaminants got into the fittings. Put a canister style water filter on the spigot then connect your hose to the filter to keep hard water mineral deposits out of the hose.
Damn!!! You’re a genius men… 👍
I wish. I put together parts for my kit from research I did as well as tips and tricks I learn from others out there rigging things up. Then I share it all with you guys. Thanks for watching
Awesome video
Thanks
Thanks for the tips🙂
Thank you.
What an awesome unbiased video! Thanks for your time in putting it all together. I’ve been wanting to get my vehicles detailed and got burned by on one already to the point I’m pushing myself to do it. What do you think about steam vs water extraction? Is heat better than cold tap water?
This is a cool kit. You will like it. I hook mine to a hot water spigot. Works great. I like extracting fabric as my goto for dirty seats and carpet. Thanks for watching
@@HawaiiDetailing what do you mean I like extracting fabric as my go-to?
Awe Jeremy! The drill brush does ALL the heavy lifting!!
Yea it does. The extractor just sucks the already agitated dirt out. Thanks for watching
Great stuff!!
Thanks for watching
Thank you brother!
You bet. Thanks for watching.
Yeah I instantly subscribed cause of just HIM! Hahaha cool voice and style man, in just the industry I need to not fall asleep learning about.
Thanks
Excellent video and idea. I've actually been conisdering getting an extractor and this video randomly popped up on my feed.
While I like the idea, I do think this might cost more than just getting the bissell I was looking at.
It’s more than the bissell but arguably a much more robust kit in many ways. I have both. Thanks for watching
Thanks starting mobile detailing in San Antonio next month
Nice. Good luck.
