Hi Guys, Going to finally re-motor the CS tomorrow with the EXL motor mount. My question is Amps and draw on my breakers in my 1952 home. It looks like the Lamb 119800 around 11.2 amps will be ok to pair with the power nozzle of 1.2 amps. My preference is to stick with Electro Motor as they...

Ametek Sorry Ametek 115923

Hi Guys, Found a new CS on Marketplace for $60.00 so I bought it. Put the 6500-293/Aerus 45350/Tristar 70204 in it or the Ametek 115293? Personally i like the Ametek and I can get a 70205 EXL motor mount. The Johnson is fine in it and the tank is spotless when you wipe with a white cloth...

Versamatic Hi, I had one just like it and it about 2000 or so. Brian

Updates to SRX JuJu, I spoke with a Rainbow guy a couple of days ago and he said this about the separator update. Apparently the redesign (looks different inside) and it is a little shorter on the vanes and fits significantly tighter on the shaft and seals tighter to protect the motor. It...

Hi Guys, A little time last couple of days for some spring cleaning. I had not used the Rainbow SRX for a long time and decided to put the updated separator in my machine. While they look similar there are differences and in my machine the noise reduction and overall sound of the machine are...

Motor Hi Guys, I spoke to my dealer a couple days ago and he has heard nothing in terms of motor changes for the SRX. At the same time he was the last to know about a power nozzle change for it as well so I'm not sure at this point. Brian

SRX Motor Hey Guys, Has anyone heard anything that Rainbow has changed the SRX motor recently as well? I have heard this in the last day or so and since the separator and power nozzle have changed recently figured it could be credible. I will call my dealer and see whats up tomorrow. Brian

SRX Hi, The SRX should have incorporated some common sense engineering. They could have added another quart to the water bowl by dropping it a bit inside the base of the dolly. Mine runs cool but it needs to be quieter than it is and while they say it is quieter it's not. Rainbow could have...

Rainbow Nozzle Hi, Good to see they are listening to feedback. I actually like the SRX nozzle agitation with the heavy duty brush strips. I wish they had dumped the spinning brushes and put the stainless roller in it with the HD brush strips but one thing at a time right? Now if they would...

SRX Power Nozzle Hi, Rainbow did away with the troublesome latch mechanism on this nozzle about a year ago. They also made an upgrade kit that involves a new power nozzle cover and neck assembly for previous editions of the PN3 that operates exactly the same as the one on the E-2 Black. On...

12' Hose on Lux Platinum Hi, I have the new 12' hose on my Lux Guardian Platinum. Spend the money. You will really like it. If memory serves me the maker is Flexible Technologies guys chime in if I am wrong. Brian

P/N Cover ClosetVac, If you have a part number for the cover with the silver decal on could you post it here along with the model number of the power nozzle nozzle it came on? Thought those were not avail any more. Brian

Hi, The cover and elbow kit to replace T1078 locking mechanism on the SRX PN3 nozzle is now avail. This update removes the lever lock on the power nozzle and replaces it with the PN12 style of the E2 Black that is less troublesome for those interested. Brian

Hey Guys, Figured I would take a few minutes and share some thoughts on the SRX. First its a nice vacuum that needs a bigger motor. Compared to the E2B, the loss in water lift 80 on the E2B and 60 on the SRX is noticeable. I like the quality of the machine, especially the hose connection...
