Just wondering how many contractors have a vacuum reclaim/recovery system and what brand they use.

I have a hybrid system but will soon have the Sirocco system, probably right before or after the Milwaukee event.

I have a feeling that the number of contractors that have vacuum recovery systems will increase by a minimum of 50% to 75% before the year is over.
 
I have the Nikro dual-head vacuum system with pump-out.

I have the Steel Eagle 12" and 24" vacuum surface cleaners along with the Mosmatic 12" vacuum surface cleaner.

I have various attachments along with the Sirocco Vacuberm.

I will be buying the Sirocco system soon.
 
Travis, have you used the Sirocco system yet? If so, is it doing what you need it to do?

Thanks.

I have ran it twice and it was just to see it work.. So to answer your question I dont know yet, but I havee a pretty good feeling it will do what I need. I plan to use it alot on kitchen interiors and a few other things. I will let you know.
 
That is great, sounds like you have a good plan to make money with it.
 
Vac-u-boom. Thought I had to have it and I did for one job. Its a whole dealeo in and of its self, loading and unloading, extension cords, booms, sand bags. Its just not my thing but its a tool.
 
I agree not a lot of fun setup and tear down, it's an extra step but better than a big fine or losing a customer. Mine has allowed me to get more work than anything else.
 
H2O boy vacuum and filtration. I wouldn't recommend it... Its ugly, bulky, and weak. We used it for fleets, and might start up again soon, but it's been sitting in the garage since '07 being used as a shop vac once a month or so...
If our fleets come back, we're going sirocco.
 
I have both Sirocco and Vacuboom. The Vacuboom was nice for its purpose but hands down the Sirocco blows it away. Way more versatile and reliable, I really like not having to worry about the electric motors cutting out or shorting out.

The Vacuboom boom assemblies are nice I have always liked the way they work in specific applications.
 
I bought a complete Hydrotek system from day one when started my business all I can say is filter filters filters.
 
I have wondered why the vacuboom ads are drawn instead of actual pictures of a system in use or videos.

At the Milwaukee event there will be some very interesting discussions on the various vacuum systems, and a whole lot more!
 
I have two vacuboom systems and a recycle 16 for filtration. Vacuum is under powered. Only 202cfm.

Will probably look into a sirocco when I start looking to really getting into reclaim.

Hydrotek AZV55. Can't complain. It gets the job done.

It really is not big enough for large jobs. A parking garage can fill one of them in a few hours, without even trying hard.

the VacuBoom is great for very-flat surfaces..
especially with our more powerful vacs.
 
For those of you that missed Paul's event in Milwaukee, we got to see the new 40" vacuum surface cleaner deck attached to the mower.

This thing can clean at a good speed and pick up the water. We got to try out lots of different vacuum tools that Jerry sells and see how different brands of vacuum surface cleaners compare to each other in side to side tests.

This was a great event and I think that they had some video, it will probably be posted soon so everyone can see this new cool surface cleaner.

Thanks Paul.
