    Recovery equipment and vac pump



    Hi all

    need to purchase some new pump out units and vac pumps. Been into FSW to look at the Value range prices look good but is the kit. Anyone recommend a good pump out unit or vac pump at reasonable cost. We currently using yellow jacket but new kit much more expensive than other kit. Is it worth it ? Also need to purchase new field laptops for the techs any recommendations at reasonable cost. Need to withstand a bit of abuse.

    .

    We use all the well know makes and models and of them
    all the ones that seem to last through all the abuse we put
    them through are the CPS Pro set.

    I have seen all the others fail where this one seems to just
    plod on. I have seen them bounce across the floor because
    someone just flooded it with HP liquid and we have one where
    the discharge gauge needle has 2 distinct kinks in it, from
    where someone tired to recover OFN under pressure from a system.

    The are auto and manual and are not too heavy but pull large amounts
    of liquid with ease.

    I have a value recovery machine, its the twin cylinder version and am happy with it after 18 months.

    I believe they make them for Refco, though the housing is a different shape.
    Mostly found in Oxfordshire, UK :)

    I have mastercool recovery unit for many years now never had a problem with it.
    Telstar vacuum machine, never let me down.

    Just remember that these machines needs maintenance and looked after so they will service you fine for many years.
