I would have to pull the screen off and manually spin impeller with awl to free it up again. It would work for a while and then seize. Tried keeping a little anti freeze in the tank and that didn’t help. Finally what seems to be working is a little 3-In-One oil before and after every use. Knock on wood it seems to have worked. ( I probably just jinxed it now ) -----Original Message----- From: John Freitag [mailto:jfreitag@thestoneandtileschool.com] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 12:17 PM To: Restoration and Maintenance Subject: RE: [sccpartners] Marble floor with wax deposits The unit have used is the Olympus System and have had very few problems John E.

It is however, extremely temperamental, as heavy as a baby elephant and requires separate circuits for the 220 power. It also doesn't heat the water and is no good if it's been in a freezing van over night. I don't typically take it on tests for all of these reasons. Does anyone know of a reliable and more portable extractor?
