Question:Hi, I'm looking to do a electric truck mount/ portable setup. I like the Goliaths, and I have been also looking at the cross American jaguar... I would like to run it off of a generator. I also do tile and grout. Would you recommend the quad 6.6 vac Goliath with a water otter? What size generator ... I'm looking at using a little giant for heating the water. Also is there a way to setup a small fresh water tank and a small recovery tank with the Goliath (much like the jaguar offers). Thanks for all your help! -Justin
Answer: Amp draw is King! This means that naturally the quad 6.6 Goliath is going to dry carpet and pull the air twice as hard as a dual 6.6 vacuum system like the Jaguar or Clean Storm 12-6500.
Please do not under power your generator as your total amp draw should not exceed 80% of the run capacity of a generator or about 1/2 its surge rating. The Water Otter is a very good option for carpet and tile cleaning but no matter what pump you pick I can always pick one that uses more amp draw and will clean faster than the water otter (2400 cleaning units/speed). The claim to fame for the water otter is only needing a 120 volt 15 amp outlet while 1500 psi pump will need a 20 amp outlet (3000 cleaning units/speed). My personal favorite is the Clean Storm 6720 Cleaning Unit pump because it will work well with outdoor work at 2100 psi.
If you want a fresh water tank, any tank, 55 gallon drum, would work fine. Please note that gravity feeding / suction feeding pumps does worsen their performance and lifespan between needed repair kits.
Please also note that Little Giant is behind on production of propane heaters so please allow 30 days if you want this brand. We do have other brand and styles of high pressure heaters.
Because you want to run on a generator, the generator size is going to be based on the size of the water pump with the goliath. Pick the pump and I can help you narrow down your generator search.
