Cool gadget. But some advice, some 1/4 inch clear vinyl tubing is cheaper than air hose. Especially if you are cutting the ends off. You will still get the flow you need with half the size. (I make hose for a living). But other than that good job.
I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
This is nearly the same setup I made for myself 6 years ago. I was ridiculed on forums, but it works great. Glad to see others are making similar things now.
Doesn't surprise me lol, doesn't matter what the subject is those forums and reddit and ALWAYS slap full with degenerate idiots always crying and criticizing what the next guy is doing lol.
@@complexdetai I run mine off of my utility sink, so I have "hot" water. I have my water heater set at 150°F. I find that cold water helps a lot with super dirty seats... the cold water keeps the soap from foaming up so much. Running it off of my sink though, I get the full range of water temps, and I get ~60psi through the wand. More than enough for me.
Your gift is you like to help people and detail on the side. I remember when it was just nail bags a saw and a pencil for carpentry now seems like you need an airport hanger to keep up with the haters. Soon you'll need a D11 to mow the lawn 😘🤑 keep up the good work!
That is a cool system. One thing I think you may want to add to your system, and that is hot water. You could take a small tankless water heater, and change the gas orifice from nat gas too propane. This would give you a portable solution. I just bought a Mytee extractor and I wish I had seen your video sooner. Cheers
I was thinking the same thing. This is a cool set up. But hot water would be more of the preferable method to get up the grimy dirt that was just brushed into the fibers with whatever cleaning solution. IMO.
Great freaking video brother. I kept saying "HELL YEAH!!!" throughout your breakdown. You made it look easy and it is a great idea. I'm definitely trying this out. Thank you!!!!
You can get a thread conversion at home depot so you can thread the hose onto a shower. The shower head threads are all standard---different from your hose thread. Run the hot water through your hose until the water gets hot coming out of your extractor. Hot water creates more chemical reaction with the dirt and cleans better.
@@GerardoGarcia-tb7gi Not recovering the water you spray down is what smells. The carpet cleaning industry has studied this and there is no question that hot water cleans better and water doesn't smell, wet carpet left undried smells horrible. Grease and oily dirt is much easier to remove with hot water/steam. Ever tried a steamer? They are amazing.
@@GerardoGarcia-tb7gi You speak from experience, because you own "a professional unit"? Sorry, doesn't automatically make you a professional. Stay off the internet and try to apply common sense, hot water will always clean better than cold.
@@Connor-zy6kl yes and hours upon hours invested in doing it lol I did this for a living with as many as 2 full interior details a day. I know what I'm talking about it's not just the equipment you work with but the experience achieved in the field.
I actually did this as well. I ordered all metal extractor with a window on amazon for like 60$ and since i always use my pressure washer when detailing i bought a pressure washer apater then a push to connect 1/4 hose adapter at menards and used 1/4 in clear tubing and removed the tubing on the extractor and attached it directly to the nipple. Makes the setup soooo much lighter than having heavy large hose and the metal fitings near the head. Also make sure pressure washer is off lol. I just use the water pressure comming of the spigot.
Can you provide me with itemization of the parts, where to get them , and a detail instruction on how to put it together? Yours seem more powerfull than the video
Excellent idea for a homemade extractor! Looks kind of like a Numatic GEORGE extrator/vacuum but much cheaper. Thanks for posting. I know a lot of people have that vacuum for detailing/weekend warrior detail. That extractor looked like it worked great.
Thanks for this video!! I was trying to find a way to deep clean the carpet on my stairs in my house without having to pay Stanley steamer an arm & a leg in high costs, so thanks for your genius and sharing all the steps to connect with just educational ease!! Very grateful, Arlene (Miami, Fl)
I can't help you with price, but I have some thoughts on quality. As a rule, you're going to get a better job with someone who owns their business and does the work themselves than you will with a major carpet cleaning chain. The reason is that an owner has his name to the business. He cares about the job he's doing. With Stanley Steamer, that's just a job to many who work there. Not all, but many. Then figure in Stanley Steamer tries to get their techs to upsell everything. They get a low base rate, then a commission for what they upsell. So if you just want whatever their special is, and don't add anything on, those techs aren't going to be happy. In saying that, I get that not all owner/operators do a great job and not all Stanley Steamer techs do a bad job. I'm simply saying if you're playing the odds, chances are you'll get a better job if the guy who owns the company is the one who comes and cleans your home.
I bought something similar from Bissell many moons ago. It worked good... had a cannister and a very pliable transparent hose from the carpet/fabric cleaner "mixer" to the wand. The cleaner-mixer cannister was designed to connect to any household faucet. I figured out a way to connect it to the tank drain on my water heater in my garage. That provided hotter water and more of it...Worked GREAT!!! I've moved twice since using it the last time and somehow it was misplaced... Bissel doesn't make it or the tubes of cleaner any longer... BUMMER on all counts! :-(
Bro excellent idea, just to add to your set up , if you buy a portable water heater, run by Propane $225.00 for both you get Hot water with your great set up 👍
Mytee 8400P Air Lite Upholstery Tool : $123 on Amazon, plus the other stuff added = >$200. *...Or just buy a carpet cleaner upholstery hose & nozzle assembly, e.g.: "Rug Doctor Hand Tool, 12', Grey" ($75) or "Bissell Hose & Upholstery Tool 30G" ($35), or Hoover, etc.* The Rug Doctor suction hose connects to a shop vac without modification; the Bissell suction hose will require very slight alteration. The tool end of the Rug Doctor hose has a standard extractor nozzle that's permanently attached; the Bissell tool end has a detachable 5.5" Wide Upholstery Tool, and Bissel sells several different attachments that also fit. Both have easily accessible separate water lines near the hose inlet.
Mid 80's into the 90's. Bissell had something similiar. You can still find them on eBay. You attached a hose to the kitchen sink. Then your vac was a wet/dry vac.
Very nifty, You can probably get an old standup unit very cheep and steal the trigger and hose of it. I will do.... I was looking for a wet/dry vac 5peak with small canister when I ran into this vid.
Do you use the same shop vac to extract water and vacuum? or do you know have a dedicated shot vac for each purpose? Just trying to get your opinion on having to clean/dry the shop vac after each use to switch back and forth.
This setup is totally awesome!!! 20 years ago I did Mobil detailing and I purchased a professional extractor... the problem I had with the professional extractor was it came with 1 cord to power the vacuum, heater, and pump.. the issue with 1 cord trying to power all 3 was it blew the fuses or trip the breaker at the customer houses... i could use 2 without blowing the circuits, what I had to do was use the heater and pump on the extractor, and use a separate circuit for the vacuum, so I actually used a separate wet dry vac to suck up the water... Question how hot can the water be that can pass through the hose without compromise the integrity?
Just hook up the hose to your water heater bib if you need a quick easy way to get hot water. I personally use the powerflight Black Maxx and a Hydroforce Drimaster Upholstery Tool.
Great video man, I hope you keep us updated with that build man keep the videos coming with that setup and views would come. that cordless drill brush you are using does it work great do you get enough power from it and how long the battery last?
The drill brush works great, The battery lasts long enough to do most jobs sometime two or three but on real dirty jobs you might need a second battery
If you’re working close to the house, you can get an adapter to connect the water supply to the aerator thread on a bathroom sink and get hot ir warm water rather than running just cold from a hose bib. Just a thought.
Nice video, It has me thinking. Why not get the extractor nozzle as shown and pair it with a old power washer hose to the garden hose. My PW came with a 25 foot hose that is worthless for PW the car. Just add the quick connects to the hose and the extractor to the Wet/Dry. Think the cost would be the extractor wand. Quick connects are already at hand due to PW. Thoughts?
Only issue i have with the setup is the cold water. Unless you're hooking up that hose directly to your water heater. I've been looking at doing this with my 14 gallon Ridgid shop vac for a while now but been too busy with other projects.
You can use the kitchen sink if there aren't washer hookups. My clients don't mind me using their hot washer line. I'm mobile and use their cold water anyway, so they are thrilled they aren't paying for me to buy a higher end machine and the truck to haul it.
Love this idea @premiumlifestyledetailing ! very creative! You mentioned "my little Bissell one I've been using" which model did you have and do you have a comparison video? ...If not, could you make one? ;) Like this comment if you'd like to see this also.
Cool idea ! With the low amount of flow you have, I'd hide the water line inside the shop-vac tube. The water line is so small it won't restrict the flow of liquid being sucked up, and you can just port it through the shop-vac tube so it doesn't look like you have two lines next to each other. You could also look at a small under-sink hot water booster, like the kind used in an RV
Careful, now we are adding propane tank, heater, and a flame, this gets expensive, explosive, cumbersome and dangerous quickly. Just a small decrease in the size of the vac hose or increase in length can make a significant drop in CFM (vacuum performance).
You're talking about engineering a science project. Simple is best. That way if you have a problem in one area, you can fix it without having to tear it apart. The water hose inside the vac hose will restrict water flow, are you nuts? You put a lose hose inside a larger one and you have instant restriction and create leaking points where the hose would exit. The small water lines inside proprietary machines are tiny in comparison to this water hose. You don't need hot water boosters either; you just hook up to the hot clothes washer line usually found in a garage or with an adapter to a sink faucet. I do it all the time and my clients are thrilled with my work and my prices. There's no need to complicate this idea; it's an affordable fix. It's not cheap (about $200), but works very well. For $240, you can get the whole setup done for you by RipClean. There is no way I would put a hole in my vacuum hose or take the time to MacGyver all that. But you could build one of your own and show it us!
So what is the air hose part used for exactly? To add clean water and suck it up? Just asking so it's clear to me. You actually used a air hose but are using it for water correct?
IT IS ENCOURAGING TO SEE AN ENTREPRENEUR PASSIONATE ABOUT HIS BUSINESS. ADVICE GIVEN ME MANY YEARS AGO: "TO REALLY BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO REPLICATE YOURSELF". TRAIN DETAIL TECHS AND INSTILL IN THEM YOUR PASSION AND BUSINESS GROWTH IS LIMITLESS. BEST OF LUCK SIR!
Quick question regarding the connection between your Mother wand and the vacuum hose. It looks like your ridgid upgrade hose is 1 1/4" and im assuming the my tee shaft is 1 1/2", And it looks like in your video you start to talk about the adapter but you edit that out. Where do you get a rotating coupler like yours? Thanks
Hi. Very nice. Question though. I noticed you connected the end that typically connects to the vacuum body to the Myteee trigger. Did you buy a second of those connectors? What is connected to the actual vacuum? Thanks!
Also youneed to make a cycle THROUGH your subject, in this case, the carpet. So ideally in an extractor vac; water first goes through the carpet and then is sucked out of the mat. Good luck.
hey I did the whole set up and was stuck in that part. did you find out what goes there? I been using it connected straight to the hoes but air comes out a little bit.
Cool gadget. But some advice, some 1/4 inch clear vinyl tubing is cheaper than air hose. Especially if you are cutting the ends off. You will still get the flow you need with half the size. (I make hose for a living). But other than that good job.

@@alkalionpower clear tubing is pretty durable brother
Where do you get clear tubing from?
@@rich2583 if you wanna use it for only your car sure, not for commercial use.
Save like what? 10 bucks? And then you have to find 1/4" fittings? Keep in mind this is 50foot of hose.Much easier to go this route.

Hot water is a must and gives you the extra cleaning

Nothing like extracting a clean carpet. Where's the dirt? That's what makes it satisfying to watch.

yup any garden hose hook up will work
Extractor isn’t available anymore, any other suggestions? Thanks for the great inventive idea!
check again. shows available now
Do you switch back to a vacuum or just keep it as an extractor? If you do switch it do you keep the water filter or switch it out for the dry on?

Amazing video.
Quick question regarding the connection between your Mother wand and the vacuum hose. It looks like your ridgid upgrade hose is 1 1/4" and im assuming the my tee shaft is 1 1/2",
And it looks like in your video you start to talk about the adapter but you edit that out.

Cool system 😎🙄wonder how it works on a dirty vehicle
How much water is this using to extract an average vehicle? How much of a car can you extract before you have to dump the water?
Also youneed to make a cycle THROUGH your subject, in this case, the carpet. So ideally in an extractor vac; water first goes through the carpet and then is sucked out of the mat.
Good luck.
i actually love this setup. very simple and doable!
This is amazing. I was just thinking, "Can I turn my shop vac into an extractor?"
Love this
Can we get some more details on hooking the extractor to the vacuum hose plz
hey I did the whole set up and was stuck in that part. did you find out what goes there? I been using it connected straight to the hoes but air comes out a little bit.
