 One of the greatest pleasures that a business operator can experience is satisfied customers. At Vacteck we sell hundreds of air powered systems and in most cases we don't hear back which means that the vacuum system we have sold a customer does exactly what we said it would and because it is air powered, it doesn't break down. Sometimes some of our customers are so impressed they write reviews or positive comments. At Vacteck we pride ourselves in delivering honest and accurate information. If for any reason a product does not perform as described we will give a 100% refund. We stand by our products and guarantee that it will do what we say it will providing the customer gives the vacuum the required air volume and pressure. Here are some of those comments.  Hi Rob, Thanks for all the support you have provided. We are more than pleased with the pump that we purchased. Michael Shaw -Island Princess Macadamia Nut Co. 16-261 Shipman Rd.Keaau, HI 96749Rob,Several months back I researched air operated vacuums to expedite the process of cleaning out spill containment manholes attached to underground fuel storage tanks, here in the US. I already had a unit I purchased the first of the year from a competitor that I was fairly happy with, or so I thought. It is large, fairly cumbersome, and requires a special adapter to fit on a 55 gallon drum. The adapter simply rests on top of the drum meaning the vac, along with the adapter has to be removed every time we change locations, then the drum lid has to be put on to keep the fluid from escaping in transit. When we arrive at out next stop the process is reversed. This unit cost me around $1700 US dollars. The vac operation is a little finicky, but overall it gets the job done.I emailed back and forth with you, and, with your  help I finally decided on the Fastpump 357. The cost, complete, was around $600 US dollars. This unit is powered by a much smaller air compressor that cost $2000: half as much as the compressor needed to power the other vac.ÂThe Fastpump 357 arrived in only a few days from when I ordered it. My first reaction was "uh oh...this vacuum is way too small to be able to do what I require.". It is probably 1/10th of the size of my other vac. I mounted the vacuum in the 3/4" opening of my drum and attached the hose to the 2" opening, then hooked it up to the air compressor. I gave it a test run using a 5 gallon bucket filled with water. I couldn't believe it. The Fastpump 357 sucked up all that water in a matter of seconds. I did it 4 more times just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I've been using the Fastpump 357 in the field now for several months and am completely satisfied with it. It has the suction power to get the job done. It adapts to the existing lid on a 55 gallon drum so now I only have to change out lids once or twice a week instead of 7 times a day.ÂSo pleased am I with this unit that I ordered a Super Dragin 357 and a Super Dragin 35 just this morning!Best regards,Kip BroadfootCharles Broadfoot & Associates, Inc.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it Rob, First of all I want to express my complete satisfaction with the Fastpump 357 (explosion proof) that I ordered from you a couple of months ago. I have to admit when the unit arrived I had my doubts. It is so small! I operate it with a 17 cfm air compressor and it does a great job! I use it to clean out spill containment manholes associated with underground fuel storage tanks, here in the States. Tight quarters as the photos show, however I can clean one out in about a minute. I’ve attached a photo of one of the spill containment manholes after I’ve cleaned it using the Fastpump 357. I assume this is now the Super Dragin 357? Rob I have a need for another of your vacuums. Let me outline the requirements and see if we are thinking along the same lines here. I have a 44 cfm air compressor, at 175 psi, gas engine operated, and mounted on a trailer. The application will be the same as above: cleaning out spill containment manholes associated with underground fuel storage tanks. I’m usually sucking water, a fuel and water mix or just straight fuel. When we visit a site for the first time we usually find the liquid along with an accumulation of dirt (mud) and leaves from years of neglect, (all of which is wet). After our initial visit we usually just find the liquid with a very small amount of dirt. My thoughts are that I need the Super 35 Dragin, adapted for explosion proof operation. Do you agree or do you have something you think will serve my needs better? Rob, If you could quote me on the Super 35 Dragin or what you consider to be suitable, I would appreciate it!  Best regards,  Kip Broadfoot Charles Broadfoot & Associates, Inc.

Rgds Linda Linda Armstrong Business Services Manager Flying Colours Aviation Rob        We have successfully trialed the vacuum unit last week but have damaged the drum supplied . While tipping the drum to empty contents , the centre & top of drum has been squeezed out of round . Lid will no longer fit .        Can you supply a more substantial drum that will handle the high weight of steel shot during tipping / unloading operation . Thanks Peter Ireland Reliability Engineer Fence post plant One Steel Newcastle - 174 Quad for recovering steel shot. Hi Rob,  I have received the first 2, thanks very much for the prompt service. Look forward to receiving the rest.  Kind Regards.  Cohen Baxter   |
