it's been a long wet muddy winter here and I have one room in my house with
carpet in it and now that's the sunroom where the dogs come in and out and that
carpet has gotten so nasty it smells bad you know what dog smells like wet dog
well that's what my carpet smells like so I borrowed this from a friend of mine
and I've had my carpet cleaned a couple years ago I had clean for 60 bucks they
did a real good job but it's 20 minutes of work you know and I hate painting two
buddies 60 bucks for 20 minutes of work so I borrowed this and it barely barely
has any suction I mean it'll put the water down
it has scrubbers under here those are real good job scrubbing it but it will
not suck the water back up because the the suction is just so light or I guess
you'd call it's not much suction well I found a little something that's it's
broke right here so there's a rubber seal that goes down in here and it's not
sealing so I'm going to take this whole thing apart when I got this it was
plugged up with dog hair in here because my friend I bought it from she's got
three dogs so maybe the motor has got a bunch of dog hair on it you know and
it's just not creating enough of a suction so let's get into this we'll
take it apart and a suit with guy well I already see a problem this hose which is
a for the water has come off and where this little elbow goes up and we'll hose
in here that has come off so I'm going to pop this little plate out and see if
I can't Plus this got a kink in it that can't imagine anything getting through
there so I'm going to start here and just start taking things apart well
here's what I did here I couldn't get that tape to come out so I cut the kink
out and just put a couple of small hose
clamps on that I'm going to button that back up and I've turned this on and it
actually has plenty of suction but it's just that it's not seating in the little
rubber gasket you see this lip here it goes down in a groove and there's a
rubber gasket in there and it's just an ink seating in there so all the suction
is coming out around a gasket so I'm going to put some screws up here there
is no screw here I want to put some screws here and just try to get this
really tight where the suction all comes out down here where it's supposed to so
I'm not going to take the motor apart I've turned it on there's plenty of
suction there all the the rubber grommets here are fine where this thing
gets it creates the suction here and it sucks the water up here into that tank
and one of the legs that tank fit down here it's a fine seal there's nothing
wrong with a seal and there's plenty of suction so the problem is this part is
just too loose and it's not fitting in them rubber grooves so I'm going to fix
that all right we're back with BC truck poultry plantations
carpet cleaner modifications take two here's what I got some just regular pan
head screws it drilled it slightly larger than the screws and then a drill
that is slightly smaller than the threads and I got my holes drilled my
larger holes for the screws and I got one more hole drill here for the threads
see if I can do this one-handed
all right I got that to do all the way around here and I believe this is going
to work I'll know in a minute my dogs are fighting I got to go break it up
see ya all right let's like that'll work
let me put it back together bring it in there and see if I can get that nasty
carpet cleaned in there
can you see the difference man I'm embarrassed my wife would kill me if she
knew I was going to put this up yeah that's my chair so that is embarrassing
maybe it's not coming through on the camera but it was definitely nasty well
it's working good now working real good it's got a lot of suction and now maybe
he won't stink so bad in here damn dogs with your feet thanks for watching
