Scott Stone 604 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 I can't get the Youtube to download. The distributor in San Diego is the same distributor as Phoenix. If you think it is going to be a discount price, you are wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guy B 70 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 They showed 1 off in Charleston. Landa really put some thought into this unit, well thought out. Vac system would be a weak point IMO. I'm just not thrilled about a 110v vac system. Rep there said they were targeting Wal-mart and chain stores that want to do "In House Washing". price $25,00.00 or in that range.

810F250 14 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Awesome design in my opinion, yes Ron I would have liked to see it live. I dont know what the specs are on the pre-heater, but I thought they may have been able to capture more heat from the engine exhaust exchanger to have a larger impact on the burner fuel usage. I would need more tech detail on the ECOS, but I have seen carpet care machines heat ~4 gpm to over 212F from twin cylinder exhaust exchangers. I agree about the vac, possibly lacking muscle, but if the design intention is what Guy B mentioned (retail store end users), its not going to be used heavily (daily) as a pw contractor then that vac maybe good enough, more than likely landa distributors would sell service contracts for the equipment to those type of users. (((((Landa )))))) A setup with a SLT/SLX boiler size, single engine driving dual pumps (one on a clutch) for true dual gun, with a engine driven blower producing at least 450 cfm @ 15 Hg (I dont think most want to lay out the money on a true dual vac setup, so one big blower), and a smaller mobile pretreatment tank utilizing your CoAg2-20A System technology and at least 300 sq ft final filtration , "Priced competitively" !!!! .........this would attract heavy use pw contractors, in my opinion. I still however like the ECOS, great job!! Edited April 6, 2011 by 810F250 added Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Musgraves 240 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 I don't know if you remember talking about this. Jim G knew this was in design, they have a better one that cant clear the cali emissions laws. This was modified to meet those requirements. You do realize these engineers are Water maze people from the Old Landa shop. They have and evaporator unit thats not close to being out also, this will revolutionize the industry if this comes available. Its a dream now but they are working on it.

tonyshelton 112 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 We've got one too. It was an insurance claim that runs, but needs carb work and a new air filter housing because of a fire. We're putting together a Chevy flatbed for it. with a 425 gallon tank. Can't wait to get it all together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
810F250 14 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 SLT's and the SLX's are nice machines. OFF TOPIC: I have subscribed to GSprunk channel a while now, funny how they have removed my comments/questions on two of their youtube videos including this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guy B 70 Report post Posted December 18, 2012 I saw a repossessed one at a distributor in Raleigh a couple of months ago. While this are cool machines they don't seem practical for medium to large jobs. I mean $25,000 for a 5 gpm skid with an electric vac closed loop system? I don't think so.
