Phoenix
Hydro-X Xtreme Xtractor
Superior Water Extraction Tool
The Phoenix Hydro-X
Xtractor is the most effective and efficient extraction
tool on the market today. The Hydro-X Xtractor’s patented
Suction Roller provides both suction and compression—forcing
water to the surface then sucking the water away, not allowing
the water to be reabsorbed back into the carpet and pad.
No other extractor today can pull as much water from the
carpet and pad as the Hydro-X Xtractor.
The Hydro-X Xtractor
is steerable and self-propelled with variable speeds. One
restoration technician can operate the unit and dry a 1200
sq. ft. structure with carpet and pad in under 2 hours!
Insurance companies
recognize the Hydro-X as the best tool on the market and
allow for "special extraction tool" rates, sometimes
up to three times higher rates per sq. ft. than regular
extraction tools.
The Society for
Cleaning Restoration Technicians, formerly ISCT, performed
a market study of extraction devices at Shaw Industries.
The results from that testing can be seen in the published
report from www.isct.com. In that independent study of restoration
professionals, the Hydro-X Xtractor with the Hydro-X Vac
Pac pulled more water out of the carpet and pad than any
other product on the market today, in one case pulling 40
gallons (or 320 pints) more water out of the structure than
the next best tool.
Industry experts
all say its easier to extract water out of a structure than
it is through dehumidification and air movement. If you
want to cut a DAY(S) off of your drying process, a Hydro-X
Xtractor is a necessity.
The Hydro-X Xtreme
Xtractor tool can be connected with the Hydro-X Vacuum Pac,
other portable extractors or truckmounts. However, the SCRT
W.E.T. Study showed best performance is when combined with
the Hydro-X Vacuum Pac.
Not all Carpet
and Pad configurations are the same.
Every specific
combination of carpet and pad will require the restorer
to check and determine how many passes the Hydro-X must
make to dry the floor. One structure could have multiple
different carpet/pad configurations; thus the restorer will
have to check each one to determine the proper amount of
passes.
Note: The Xtractor
is to be used for ONLY carpet and pad. Running on hard surfaces
(like glue-down carpet) will not allow for a proper vacuum
seal and could damage the perforated roller.
Determining a
plan to dry with the Xtreme Xtractor.
Observe the type
of carpet and pad installed.
Next, run the
Hydro-X Xtreme Xtractor about 2-3 feet into the corner and
back out (making 2 passes over the wet floor). Pull back
the carpet in the corner, then pull back the pad. Squeeze
the pad to determine if water leaks from your fist. If no
water drips, then that is the amount of passes needed to
dry this particular carpet and pad combination. If water
drips from your hand after grabbing the pad, then continue
running the Hydro-X into the corner until the correct amount
of passes is determined to dry the floor.
Note: The speed
dial on the Hydro-X can be turned up to help reduce the
amount of time it takes to complete the drying process.
The speed has a direct effect on the amount of water extracted
in one pass. Historically, fast speed is appropriate for
easy extraction type carpets and pad, such as cutpile, and
slow speed is appropriate for hard extraction type carpets
and pad, such as berbers.
