    The latest addition to my toilet collection.

    Can a gravity fed toilet be converted to a "pressurized" toilet?   Is this a "gravity flush" to pressurized flushing toilet conversion kit?

    Rainbow E2 Black Teardown and Restoration

    U can use the soft sponge attachment for your RainJet; its softer than the bristles so it won't damage wood floors

    Rainbow Estate Sale find!

    I sold the single speed E Series back in 2001-03 but I can't remember how well those did; all I remember is the water got really chunky after vacing my living room with the E Series after vacing with the D2 with R1024 Power Nozzle, which needed repairs at the time.  Also remember the water got...

    Rainbow E2 Black Teardown and Restoration

    I think the red lite is a diagnostic lite?   I just used the RainJet for washing windows; now I'll never use Windex spray bottle & a rag or paper towel again.  When I cleaned windows the old fashioned way, I heated the Windex with hot water for extra grease cutting power   btw I also...

    Rainbow E2 Black Teardown and Restoration

    Did U get the RainJet or MiniJet yet?   Once U use a Rainbow, its hard to go back to a ordinary vacuum that uses bags/filters   Ever since I got a SE, my Compacts & Luxes have been restricted to quick use status
