Frequently asked questions

(Q) How long did it take to design GRESB?

(A) It took 3 years of research development. I used the sapphire 370 as my template for suction and performance. My goal was to achieve or surpass the suction of the sapphire using all electric motors. The main reasoning for this is to save money. Parts are inexpensive and anyone can work on it. After many years of research and development in 2021 I invented a way to run the entire system off BATTERIES

(Q) What is the average dry time?

(A) 4 to 8 hours

(Q) How long does it take to replace a vacuum motor

(A) about 10 to 15 minutes

(Q) Can I add more solar panels

(A) Yes. You can have up to 2 (435 watts) on the roof.

(Q) Is it true that using the water supply off the truck will spin the water turbines and generate electricity to charge your battery.

(A) Yes. You can also wash your van with the system. It will charge the battery at the same time

(Q) Is it true that you were told? It is not possible to attain the suction of a gas fired truckmount using electric vacuum motors? And have you achieved this suction?

(A) Yes!! Ive been told that many times. S.E.T.T.S. suction is up to 17 inches of mercury lift with 384 CFM. This surpasses the number one selling truckmounts on the market today.

(Q) Whats the point if your using a gas generator?

(A) I'm so glad you asked LOL.

The generator does not have to be engaged. The system can be ran 100% off house current. This is usually the greenest way to run the system.
Our plug in version can be ran without engaging the generator/Running only off house current and Battery pack.
Its possible to never have to engage the generator and use only renewable energy.
Giving you the ability to make your own energy using the sun, Turbines, and Recycled energy including using your vehicles alternator to recharge the battery pack in between jobs
Repairs costs are substantially less. From 50% to %80 less and can be done by almost anyone.
If the energy efficient generator is engaged you will burn from 50 to 75% less fuel. Compared to regular gas fired truckmounts. The fuel burns cleaner using Non ethanol gas.
Unlike gas truckmount systems the gas generator has the capability to power one home in the event of a blackout and charge the S.E.T.T.S. battery pack at the same time
Champions new gas generator has the option to run off propane or natural gas. These types of fuel produce very little pollution.

(Q) How long do batteries last

(A) From 7 to 10 years. I have averaged 6 years run time on AGM prototype batteries

(Q) How much are the battery packs / batteries only

(A) Approximately $5000 Plug In G.R.E.S.T.B. Flooded 2100Ah / vented

(Q) Should I save monthly to buy a new battery pack in 7 to 10 years

(A) Yes, save $59.00 per month. After 7 years of savings you will have about $5000. If you use the pack every day this may be the way to go. However, if you use the pack only a few times a week. You could save $41 per month. After 10 years you would have approximately $5000 for a new battery pack. Please remember. This is the first prototype. This has not been tested. It is unknown how long they will last.

(Q) Are batteries recycled

(A) Yes! Each time you buy battery packs you turn in the old pack. These are then recycled! We use USA Brands

(Q) Is solar power truly Pollution free? Quick answer is no. Not 100%

(A) After 4 to 6 years of operation you will have zero pollution for the remaining 6 to 7 years. Do not buy cheap systems made in China. More pollution is created using coal fired plants than could ever be paid back.
