There are three basic types of extraction machines.
1. Rental/Home Machines
These machines are fine for spills or maintenance of lightly soiled traffic areas. But they lack the power needed to do the
deep cleaning required to get out the grit that lies deep in your carpet pile and maintain the manufacturers warranties
2. Professional Portables
These machines are many times more powerful than home machines. The number and size of vacuum motors and
pumps plus heat exchanges differ one from another in terms of performance. The most powerful machines may have two
power cords to enable household circuits to cope. A really good job can be done with these units, if the operator has
excellent training and takes their time. Sometimes, portables are the only way the carpets in some locations can be
cleaned.
3. Truck Mounted
These machines have large independent engines or run off the motor of the cleaning van. They can develop up to a
1,000 pounds of pressure (though normally, carpet is cleaned at only 500 pounds of pressure). They also heat the water
to 180 degrees or more, and have very powerful vacuums. These machines leave carpets drier in many cases when
properly used. Typically, this type of water extraction machine should give improved results as well as a decreased time
on the job.
