Blueline Bluewave diesel
Anyone have an opinion on these units? Looks good on paper and it sure sounds quiet for slider.
Reliable?
Ease of Maint.?
Parts availability?
Performance?

Re: Blueline Bluewave diesel
I've owned the Thermalwave II with Nissan engine, it was the biggest POS cleaning equipment I've ever used, failed design in my honest opinion, I bought it brand new over 24k invested and always on top of it in maintenance, oil changes every 1000 hours, 500 hours service on time every time, it never had that much heat to begin with, and always have issues with electrical and computer, I'm not sure about the blue wave diesel but I would be very concerned with the electrical, plus if it's several years old and have low hours, have to be careful, that's a sign that there's more downtime than up time.

Oh, if you're still itching to buy it due to the condition ( immaculate, low hours, etc ), make sure to bid as low as possible, that way you can unload it FAST if you have to without losing too much $$$ :-)

Not very subtle, but very honest. Sounds like you were describing an old girlfriend
Thanks for the advice...I'm going to avoid it.

I knew when you said "Computer", it wasn't my kind of TM.

Re: Blueline Bluewave diesel
It is kinda crazy how things get put out there and then don't hold up, I was just reading about Ace tm's and I think Fox tm's and how some guys were having issues, I don't know if it was Fox or not the tm looks like fox models but for some reason I think it was a different name, I think Roto Vac had them on there site for a while.
The story went the guy paid money up front and never got machine that is just crazy that is a poop load of money to just walk away with.
Yeah I just looked they don't have that unit on there site anymore but looked just like Fox TM's cant think of the name right now

Re: Blueline Bluewave diesel
Ok kobota. Engines are good but they did have some issues with electronic (ecu) overheating. The elect cooling fan did not move enough air to to cool ecu. The mod was they installed the a fan assy. Back on front of the engine as well as wired the elect fan so it ran when the switch was turned on. That seemed to fix the problem.
