Sandia 80-5000 Sniper 1200 PSI Hard Surface Extractor – 12 Gal, 170" Lift
Sandia 80-5000 Sniper 1200 PSI Extractor — Adjustable High-Pressure for Carpet and Hard Surface
The Sandia 80-5000 bridges carpet extraction and hard surface cleaning in a single 12-gallon portable unit. The 1200 PSI pump is adjustable down to 400 PSI — high enough for tile grout cleaning and hard surface extraction at the top end, gentle enough for delicate carpet fibers at the lower setting. Dual vacuum motors (one 2-stage, one 3-stage Ametek) deliver 170" of water lift and 99 CFM of airflow. Auto-fill and auto-dump automation reduces manual tank management — particularly useful for restoration contractors handling flood recovery where continuous operation matters.
80-5000 Pump Pressure, Water Lift, and What's Included
The 1200 PSI adjustable pump and dual-motor configuration (2-stage + 3-stage) is what differentiates the 80-5000 from the standard Sniper carpet extractor line — the motor combination delivers 170" water lift (versus 205" on the 6.6" Optimizer motors) with the higher pump pressure needed for hard surface cleaning tools.
- 1200 PSI adjustable pump (down to 400 PSI) — 1200 PSI for tile grout and hard surface tools; dial down to 400 PSI for carpet and upholstery without changing tools
- 170" water lift (dual 2-stage + 3-stage Ametek motors) — 19A and 16A motor draw; efficient extraction for deep carpet pile and upholstery fabrics
- 99 CFM airflow — adequate for most carpet and hard surface extraction applications
- Auto-fill and auto-dump — eliminates manual tank management; particularly valuable in flood restoration where continuous operation is required
- 12-gallon solution and recovery tanks — fewer refill interruptions; waist-high recessed controls protect against accidental activation during transport
- Complete kit: 50 ft auto-fill hose, 50 ft auto-dump hose, 25 ft vacuum hose, 25 ft solution hose — ready for large-scale jobs without additional hose purchases
80-5000 Applications and Environments
Tile and grout cleaning contractors who also service carpet are the primary 80-5000 buyer — the adjustable 1200 PSI pump handles hard surface cleaning tools at full pressure, then dials down for carpet extraction in the same visit without equipment changes. Restoration contractors handling flood recovery use the auto-fill and auto-dump features for continuous uninterrupted operation in water-damaged spaces. Commercial carpet cleaning businesses servicing both carpeted and tiled areas — office buildings, hotels, healthcare facilities — avoid carrying two machines by using the 80-5000's adjustable pressure range. Optional 7" and 12" turbo cleaning tools (sold separately) extend hard surface capability for tile, stone, and epoxy floors.
