Do you think my porty can run 150 ft of hose

[ErikG]

Hey guys you all been great so far giving advice, Im new here ... I have a power Flight Black Maxx with dual 3 stage vacs w/ Ametek lamb motors. Can my Super Charged Porty handle 150 ft of 2 inch hose. It has 101 cfm with 220 of lift.I want your views on this . I dont want to buy more hose if dont have to . This machine is very powerful vs the other portables.

Nope you will need a booster.

Why would you want to? I don't see a need to run more then 50' it's "portable".

Tell you the truth I don't like running 150' on my tm not because of power but it's a pita.

Sorry NO you should'nt! 50-75 ft MAX. and as soon as you can drop 25' of vac off do it. And get a Hole glide ASap.

You are better off extending the power-cords with 10 gauge extensions, than by using longer vacuum hose.

ErikG;

The 150' of 2" vac hose is equivalent to:

37.5 ft of 1.5" vac hose.

Many cleaners run that length of hose, so I would say your OK with 150 ft. of 2" hose.

Keep it as straight as possible and free of foam.

Try it and let us know.
Clean you living room with it and see what happens.

Has anyone actually tried something like this? And I am sure it wasn't on his porty.


With that said, are you crazy? They call it a portable for a reason. like Mr Able1 stated.

Why are you needing to run it with 150 of vac hose??
I am waiting with bated breath.

I think you are spinning your wheels; first of all a machine designed for inches of lift isn't designed to use long hoses(due to the venturie effect) cfm such as in jet engine design; intake to move air to create suction through intake pressure; that is why you have a 25 foot hose(Your intake; the internal plumbing in your machine can't provide enough pressure; probably 1 to 1.5 inch piping); A system with say 300 cfm; such as my Recoil-3 XPS 500 psi machine(porty/tm) depending on work site; so far I have done 200 foot hose runs with great results. Advice above was right, you can use boosters to produce the needed cfm's.

Good luck
