DurrMaid Spotter/Extractor problem

DLR Detailing

DLR Detailing

Wax on ~ Wax off
This question is for DurrMaid Spotter/Extractor owners.

Has anyone experienced pump problems with their unit? If so, where did you find a replacement part?
Mine is leaking water to the point of rendering it useless.:confused: I have searched extensively online and have looked locally without luck so far. While I am currently waiting on a response from the manufacturer, I thought I would run this past everyone here at DC.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Bump

The physical size of this pump is approx. 2"x4". There isn't much space available to retrofit another model. I was going to go down that path but ran out of road :). I have looked into some agriculture chemical sprayer pumps as a possibility, but I am unable to verify application compatibility due to the temperature requirements. I am also finding out that most pumps of this physical size are 12v. :confused:

Does anyone know if the Aztec extractor & the DurrMaid model were/are built by the same company?

Thanks,
Dave
 
It looks like you had to help yourself.:)
Unfortunately, not too many of us have extractors let alone a specific brand.
Obviously, the extractor is out of the reach of us hobby detailers and I don't think very many of the mobile guys carry them.
While it doesn't do nearly as thorough a job, the "surface cleaning" with a carpet cleaner and a brush used with a good vacuum seems to work for many of us. It does for me.
Glad you found a solution to your problem.

I think there were 2-3 members that had the Durrmaid extractors. I was thinking about getting one if I got detailing on a steady basis, but as Charles said it's not a possibility for a lot of people. It stinks that you can't get your questions answered personally by someone here but atleast you got an answer... and if I get serious about buying one I know who to talk to now.

The real reason I posted was to kind of apologize for Dave not getting any response.
It is a bummer when it happens, but sometimes many of us just don't know the answer and the ones that might don't see the question.

Thanks guys for your concern, but no need to apologize. I realized that I wasn't going to receive 100 replys to this one.:) Not everyone has one.

I was just becoming somewhat frustrated not being able to find a replacement part. I actually recieved information that it was no longer made by the pump supplier. I had spent many hours searching and re-searching for a solution. I though that perhaps someone may have had the same problem along the way.

I guess due to some fluke - my attempts to contact the manufacturer were unsuccessful. Finally, the technology "gods" smiled upon me and a new pump is on its way!

Thanks again.
