Pump‑Out Hose for Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines
Safely empty your solution tank, protect your vacuum motors, and extend the life of your carpet cleaning machine. This pump‑out hose is designed for owners of the Enforcer, Ninja, Sensei, Spot Master, and most other professional carpet cleaning machines fitted with industry‑standard brass quick disconnectors. It provides a safe alternative to using the vacuum hose connected to the machine’s vacuum port to suck out the remaining clean water from the solution tank at the end of a carpet or upholstery cleaning job.
Key Benefits
-
Vacuum motor protection: Prevents condensation and water droplets entering the motor during emptying, dramatically extending its lifespan.
-
Float switch safety: Stops the float switch float being accidentally sucked up when emptying via the vacuum hose.
-
Efficient emptying: Pumps the solution tank dry without risk, leaving only minimal water safely behind.
-
Cost‑effective: Simple, inexpensive accessory that saves costly repairs and downtime.
-
Proven innovation: As far as we know, this product was first developed by Ashbys and is now widely adopted across the industry.
Connector Options
-
Standard brass male connector: Correct for Ashbys machines as they left the factory, and for newer Spot Master models fitted with a full sized standard brass female connector on their water output (rather than the smaller version that earlier models had).
-
Standard brass female connector: Correct for machines fitted with a standard brass male connector on their water output.
Compatibility
-
Ashbys machines: Enforcer, Ninja, and Sensei.
-
Spot Master: Newer models fitted with the standard brass female connector on their water output.
-
Other professional machines: Most models fitted with industry‑standard brass quick disconnectors.
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
-
Position: Place the open end of the pump‑out hose into the machine’s recovery (dirty water) tank.
-
Connect: Attach the other end of the hose to the machine’s water connector (where the solution hose would normally be fitted).
-
Activate: Switch on the water pump only – do not run the vacuum motors – and pump the solution tank as dry as possible.
-
Stop: Switch off the pump once the hose is spitting out mainly air. Any small amount of remaining water is fine to leave.
-
Final step: After emptying the recovery tank, run the vacuum motor(s) for three minutes with the recovery tank lid off or open. This dries out condensation or dampness inside the motors before packing the machine away.
Best Practice for Maximum Vacuum Motor Life
-
Use the pump‑out hose: Always empty the solution tank using the pump‑out hose rather than the vacuum hose.
-
Dry the vacs: Run the vacuum motors briefly with the recovery tank open to clear condensation.
-
Defoamer: Use a professional defoamer in the recovery tank to prevent foam and moisture reaching the motors.
This simple routine ensures maximum life from the vacuum motors in your carpet cleaning machine – a no‑brainer for every professional cleaner.
