Rotovac - bmas - 12-27-2013
Hello, I am new to the board and wanted to know if it was possible to Encap using a rotovac. I have the brush drive and am capable of using pads. I have a client that i want to touch main areas every couple of months and would like to try the Encap process
Thanks for any help
Brad

Some have tried using the Rotovac for encap scrubbing. What I have heard is that it's too light to be very effective. And there's no way to dispense the detergent through a shampoo tank, so you would need to pre-spray the shampoo which gives inferior results. You can give it a try, but I don't think you'll be overly impressed.
That being said, you could always use the Rotovac as a hot water extraction tool (as it was designed), and use it with Encap-Punch as your detergent. This will bring you the benefits of encapsulation in your hot water extraction application: https://www.excellent-supply.com/Releasit-Encap-Punch-4-Gallon-Case-Encapsulation-Carpet-Cleaning-Products-Encap_p_69.html
