Alright, so let me tell you about my recent carpet cleaning machine truck mount adventure. Been meaning to upgrade my setup for ages, and I finally bit the bullet. It's been a wild ride, but totally worth it.

First off, the research. Man, that took forever. I started by diving deep into online forums, watching a ton of YouTube videos, and asking around to see what other guys in the business were using. Figured I needed something reliable, powerful, and relatively easy to maintain. Heard a lot of good things about a few brands, but ended up settling on a Prochem Everest HP 650. Seemed like a solid choice for the kind of work I do.

Then came the purchase. Found a local supplier that had a decent price and, more importantly, knew their stuff. I went down there, talked to them for a couple of hours, and got all my questions answered. They even gave me a little discount, which was a nice bonus.

Next up, installation. This was the tricky part. I'm no mechanic, so I knew I couldn't do it myself. I found a reputable shop that specialized in truck mount installations. Booked an appointment and dropped off my van. They had it for about three days, running all the plumbing, electrical, and exhaust. They even beefed up my van's suspension to handle the extra weight. These guys were pros.

Once I got the van back, it was time for testing. I spent a whole day just playing around with the machine, figuring out the optimal pressure settings, water temperature, and chemical mixtures. I even practiced on some old carpets in my garage to get a feel for it. There was a bit of a learning curve, but after a few hours, I started to get the hang of it.

My first real job with the new truck mount was a big one – a five-bedroom house with heavily soiled carpets. I was a little nervous, but the machine performed like a champ. The suction power was incredible, and the heat really helped to break down the stubborn stains. I finished the job in record time, and the client was absolutely thrilled. That's when I knew I'd made the right decision.

Now, after a few months of using the truck mount, I can honestly say it's been a game-changer for my business. It's faster, more efficient, and allows me to tackle bigger and tougher jobs. Plus, my clients are happier with the results, which means more referrals and repeat business.

Of course, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. There have been a few minor hiccups along the way. Had a hose burst once, and a pump started making a weird noise. But thankfully, the supplier I bought the machine from has been great with support, and I've been able to get everything sorted out quickly and easily.

The biggest thing I’ve learned? Maintenance is key. I'm religious about cleaning the filters, flushing the system, and checking all the connections. It might seem like a pain, but it's worth it in the long run to keep the machine running smoothly and avoid costly repairs.

So, yeah, that's my carpet cleaning machine truck mount story. It was a big investment, but one that's already paying off. If you're thinking about upgrading your setup, I'd highly recommend it. Just do your research, find a reputable supplier, and be prepared to put in the time to learn how to use it properly.

Would I do it again? Absolutely. Best business decision I've made in a while.
