The Sandia 10-0910-2-5-220 is the 2000 watt, 220 volt heater specified for 500 psi Sandia extractors -- the high-pressure machines used on ground-in commercial carpet, tile and grout. Suppliers describe this family as a solid steel internal heater for 500 psi Sniper extractors, and it is the part to order when a 220-240 volt high-pressure machine stops making heat. Solution temperature is what lets a truck-mount-style hot-water rinse happen out of a portable, and when the heat quits the machine still cleans -- just not nearly as well. Replacing the heat components is a routine service job, far cheaper than replacing the extractor.
Built for
- Commercial cleaning contractors running 220-240 volt high-pressure Sandia extractors.
- Tile and grout crews who need hot solution behind 500 psi jets.
- Export and international service providers supporting Sandia Sniper machines.
- Dealers stocking 220 volt heat components for high-pressure units.
What it does
Solution passes through the heater internally on its way to the high-pressure pump, picking up heat from the 2000 watt element. Two thousand watts is the largest heater Sandia lists in this family, and it exists because high-pressure work moves solution quickly -- a small element cannot keep up with the flow rate and the machine ends up spraying cool water. On 220 volt supply the element draws roughly nine amps, so the extra heat costs no additional current compared with a 1000 watt element on 110 volts.
Voltage warning: this is a 220 volt part and will not perform on 110-120 volt supply. Confirm your machine's supply voltage before ordering.
Before you replace the element
Inline extractor heaters carry a thermostat at the end of the heater body that can trip and cut power to the element. Technicians on carpet and car-wash trade forums report this as the first thing to check on a no-heat call -- reset the thermostat and the heat often comes straight back. If the machine still runs cold after a reset, and the element reads open on a meter, the element or tube assembly is the part to change.
Sandia builds several heater configurations across the Sniper, Optimizer, Spot-Xtract and Indy lines, and they are not interchangeable. Match the part number on this page to the parts list in your machine's manual, or check the number stamped on the part you are pulling out, before you order.

Sandia warranty
Sandia Products warrants vacuum motors for 2 years, 100 psi pumps for 2 years and all other pumps for 1 year, and parts, tools and accessories for 90 days. Coverage starts on the purchase date from an authorized distributor with proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover damage from improper or missing maintenance, misuse, tampering, substituted parts, pumps stored in freezing conditions, pumps run dry, powdered detergent, or systems not flushed regularly. Contact the manufacturer for an RMA before returning or replacing any part; unapproved work and non-Sandia parts void coverage.
Frequently asked questions
My extractor stopped heating. Is the element always the problem?
No. Check the thermostat on the inline heater first -- it can trip and cut power without the element failing. Reset it and test. Only replace the element or tube assembly if the machine still runs cold and the element tests open.
How do I know this is the right part for my machine?
Match this part number against the parts list in your Sandia manual or against the number stamped on the component you are removing. Sandia uses different heater assemblies across model lines and wattages, and they do not cross over.
Should a technician install this?
Heater work involves mains voltage and plumbed solution lines. Unplug the machine and let it cool before opening it, and if you are not comfortable working around live electrical connections, have a manufacturer-authorized service provider do the job -- unapproved repairs can affect warranty coverage.
Why does a high-pressure machine need the largest element?
High-pressure extractors move solution through the heater quickly, which leaves less time for heat transfer. A 2000 watt element keeps up with that flow rate; a smaller one falls behind and the wand sprays cool.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer and stocks Sandia service parts alongside the extractors they belong to. Orders ship from the United States and our support team can help you confirm the right part number against your machine before you buy.
